RESUMEN
El presente es un estudio descriptivo acerca del daño que sufren los niños como consecuencia de accidentes. Los objetivos de este estudio son explorar la morbilidad y mortalidad a través de la experiencia de los autores y proponer formas especiales de prevención. Los accidentes en el hogar son comunes, pero los informes de la literatura no son consistentes con la realidad. Los eventos traumáticos que suceden en el hogar han sido menospreciados, sin embargo, no es raro que sean causa de muerte, en especial en niños pequeños. Analizamos los hallazgos en 21 niños que sufrieron percance traumático en el hogar.
ABSTRACT
Descriptive study on damage to children's health caused by accidents. The literature has mainly focused on the analysis of severe trauma. The main objective was to assess the morbidity and mortality based on the authors experience and to propose special measures to prevent this type of trauma. Home accidents are a frequent form of pediatric trauma, yet reports in the literature are not always consistent with its real prevalence. We believe that home traumatic events have been underestimated and neglected mainly because they are generally not a cause of death, especially among infants. We analyzed 21 patients who underwent a traumatic lesion at home.
