旨在
通过检查病例报告，通过观察两岁以下儿童洗澡溺水的流行病学和回顾文献，调查儿童在洗澡座椅上溺水的问题。
方法
我们描述了两个婴儿：一个淹死了，一个在浴缸里差点淹死。我们检查了RoSPA/RLSS UK数据库中1989-2003年2岁以下儿童在浴缸中溺水的病例。通过压切系统确定病例。我们在11个标准数据库中对1951年至2004年10月的原始文章、参考文献、教科书和会议摘要进行了全语言文献检索。
结果
这两个案例说明了父母如何对浴室座椅产生虚假的安全感。在1989年至2003年期间，我们在英国发现了6例与浴缸座椅有关的两岁以下婴儿溺水事件。他们都是男孩：6人中有5人不满1岁。相比之下，47名年龄相仿的儿童在没有浴缸座椅的浴缸中溺水。文献稀少，自1966年以来只有四篇论文。
讨论
婴儿被放在浴缸座位上溺水是一种罕见但明确的死亡原因。浴室座椅似乎给人一种虚假的安全感（即使制造商不鼓励）。目前还不清楚将婴儿放在浴缸座椅上是否意味着与没有座椅的婴儿相比溺水风险增加。在不知道使用浴椅的母亲人数的情况下，很难对婴儿的风险得出确切的结论。需要新的研究来澄清这个问题。无论是否坐在座位上，很明显，婴儿在洗澡时的主要风险是无人监督。
AIMS
To investigate the problem of children drowning in bath seats by examining case reports, by looking at the epidemiology of bath drowning in children under two years of age and by reviewing the literature.
METHODS
We describe two babies: one who drowned and one nearly drowned in the bath whilst in a bath seat. We examined the RoSPA/RLSS UK database of cases of children under two years drowning in the bath for the years 1989-2003. Cases are ascertained through a press cutting system. We conducted an all language literature search of original articles, references, textbooks and conference abstracts 1951-October 2004 in 11 standard databases.
RESULTS
The two cases illustrate how parents can have a false sense of security with bath seats. We found six cases of babies under two years drowning in the UK associated with bath seats in the time period 1989-2003. They were all boys: five of the six were under one year of age. This compared with 47 children of similar age drowning in the bath not associated with a bath seat. The literature is sparse with only four papers since 1966.
DISCUSSION
A baby drowning after being placed in a bath seats is a rare but definite cause of death. Bath seats appear to give a false sense of security (even if not encouraged by the manufacturers). It is unclear whether putting a baby in a bath seat represents an increased risk of drowning compared with a baby without a seat. Without knowing the numbers of mothers that use bath seats it is difficult to come to firm conclusions on the risks to babies. New research is needed to clarify this issue. Whether in a seat or not it is clear that the main risk to babies in the bath is being left unsupervised.
