Injuries

Injuries is the most common problem among children today. It may lead to death in many cases. It could be considered as a disaster in most communities of modern world. Injuries increase prevalence of illness among young children of all age groups.  In the first world, there are high numbers of disabilities caused by injuries. .(Bener et al 2007). As to Gad (2011) falls were stated to be of  (40,4%) of injuries that are common mostly.He found out that (RTA) which means Road Traffic Accidents were recorded to be representing (15%) while food toxicity had the percentage of (8%) of injuries.  Statistics showed that females were less in having injuries than males percentages as they had (18% ) while males stated the percentage of (26%). There are factors lead to the fact that males are more in having injuries than females. Street playing, being dwelled next to clubs or playgrounds, doing sports and getting involved into fights and violent actions. Rates of childhood death, treatment I hospitals or having different kinds of disabilities show that injuries caused by road accidents are the main cause of them.
Pedestrian injuries are very common among children, they are increasing in a very dangerous way. Children are usually liable for being burnt, drown, being cut or having electric shocks. It is strange that children often face such kinds of injuries at homes. (Hall et al 2006) Trauma has great effects on children lives as it causes many dangerous results. Trauma can be defined as a physiological cut that an external element did or a real wound as a breaking or a strong hit.  (Campbell and John 2011) Trauma happens when a person fall off a ladder, being hit by a car or hit with hard objects. Trauma can lead to death or to having disabilities. It is very dangerous and could affect the brain when the head is injured. It could affect the patient's health for long times and could affect his body, his movement or his whole life. It could harm the body of the patient forever. These kinds of injuries are considered of great danger and need good intensive caring for patients after having them in order to reduce effects resulting from them. Long term treatment is suggested. (Campbell and John 2011)
