Some seemingly harmless things in life may pose potential dangers to children. Recently, a number of emergency experts in the United States summarized “six items that should not be placed at home”, reminding parents to pay attention.
button battery David, medical director and pediatric emergency specialist in the middle of the Atlantic coast of the United States? Dr. Sison reminded that many car remote controls, portable LED lights and other devices are powered by button batteries. Button batteries are very easy to be stuffed into the mouth by small people as food. Once stuck in the esophagus, the acid in the battery is easy to burn the esophagus, resulting in life-long injury. Therefore, try not to buy toys with button batteries. The button batteries at home should be packed away, and children should not be allowed to play with them at will.
high pressure water gun and telescopic ladder Seth, deputy director of the Institute of emergency medicine, Cleveland Clinic, USA? Dr. Podolski reminded that the water column emitted by the high-pressure water gun is very easy to hurt children by mistake. Most children love climbing and are very interested in ladders. However, if there is no adult present or the protective measures are inappropriate, children are likely to fall from a high place and be injured, especially vulnerable to serious trauma such as head trauma and lung collapse of children.
expired painkillers Ferdinand, chief physician of Emergency Medicine Department of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in the United States? Dr. milage reminded that expired painkillers (especially anesthetic painkillers) should be discarded in time. Once ingested by children, it is easy to lead to excessive hydrocodone and oxycodone, resulting in accidents and even casualties. A slow-release painkiller could kill a child.
simulation toy gun Amy, a pediatric emergency specialist at Atlanta children’s health hospital, USA? Baxter said that many children, especially boys, like to wield knives and guns, and love toy guns. However, some high simulation toy guns are very dangerous. The rubber bullets or marbles shot by toy guns have certain lethality and are easy to hurt themselves or others.
bowl Ramen David? Dr. Sison pointed out that after the bowl of ramen was heated in the microwave oven, its styrofoam container was very hot, which was also a common cause of scalding in children in clinic. Sometimes, when parents put bowl loaded Ramen on the table, they don’t realize how hot the Ramen is. Once toddlers touch it indiscriminately, they will be easily scalded.
high chair Brian, an emergency specialist at DuPage Central Hospital in the United States? Dr. Ford pointed out that children like to kick things with their feet when sitting on chairs. Once they exert too much force, the high chair is easy to fall back, which is likely to lead to skull fracture of children and death in serious cases.
