Pediatric accidents can range from minor injuries to serious, life-threatening events. Some of the most common accidents in children include falls, burns, drowning, poisoning, and car accidents. Falls are particularly prevalent among toddlers who are just learning to walk. Burns can occur from hot water, stoves, or open flames. Drowning incidents often happen in bathtubs, swimming pools, or even buckets of water. Poisoning can result from the ingestion of household chemicals or medications, and car accidents remain a leading cause of injury and death in children.
