Click here A note from the nurse at FMS: Spring has arrived and summer is not far behind! Children are eager to ride bikes, skate,
and skateboard. I am providing the following statistics from the National
Head Injury Foundation so you can help your child understand the importance
of wearing a helmet.
-1% were severely impaired and
had to be institutionalized
-Almost 33% were discharged but had persistent
disabilities which required
assistance in daily living. -32% of children admitted experienced cognitive or
behavioral changes.
·
Over 14% of children who are treated, return to the hospital with recurrent
bicycle injuries.
·
Helmet use reduces the chance of head injury by 85%.
·
Risk of head injury is 6 ½ times greater without a helmet.
·
In
1987 dollars, costs related to bicycle mishaps are
·
$135 million for inpatient care
·
$75 million for emergency room visits
·
The cost of life-time care for
an individual with a severe head injury is estimated at $4.5 million. Have a SAFE and happy spring and
summer!
