Trick or treat?: Child injury prevention: An overview of the 12 most frequent foreign bodies in 0-14 years old children [poster from 'Susysafe: Surveillance System on Suffocation Injuries due to Foreign Bodies in European Children'].

This item is a printed out poster from the website for 'Susysafe', the 'Surveillance System on Suffocation Injuries due to Foreign Bodies in European Children' (started 2005). The poster includes the message: "Injuries due to foreign bodies can end in fatalities, 70% of incidents happen while the child is with an adult: active supervision is the key to prevention." It includes images of the main problematic 'foreign bodies': nuts and seeds, coins, pearls, balls and marbles, pins and needles, toys, pebbles, stationary, plastic, bones, paper, batteries and jewellery. It also describes the age group of children most frequently affected by each category, activity or location involved, medical presentation, possible medical complications and whether immediate referral to a doctor is necessary.
