Laser Doppler imaging (LDI) has been increasingly used to predict pediatric burn wound outcome. A majority of these wounds are scald, contact, or flame burns. No study has specifically evaluated the use of LDI in pediatric friction burns. Our objective was to critically evaluate LDI assessment of pediatric friction burns to determine its predictive value with this mechanism of injury. We conducted a retrospective review of all LDI scans performed on pediatric friction burns during a 2-year period. We identified 36 patients with a mean age of 3.6 years (range, 19 months to 15 years). LDI accurately predicted burn wound outcome in 23 (64%) cases. In 13 cases, LDI did not correctly predict burn wound outcome. Eight were expected to heal within 14 days, but six of those eight took an average of 20.3 days to heal (range, 18-29 days), and the other two required skin grafting. Of the remaining five incorrect predictions, four were caused by an inability to correlate the flux scan with the clinical appearance of the burn, and one was thought to take more than 21 days to heal but healed within this period. Our data suggest that LDI appears to be a less reliable tool in predicting the outcome of friction burns when compared to other mechanisms of burn injury in children. This may reflect the physical differences in the mechanism of friction burns as opposed to other forms of thermal injury.

“…Previous research has noted the epidemiology of running injuries to pediatric populations [1,2] as well as various sports-related injuries [3][4][5][6]. Studies have also investigated injury occurrence related to exercise equipment [7][8][9][10] and playground equipment [11]. However, population-based studies on exercise-related injury among children in general are scant and those that have been conducted usually consider the use or involvement of exercise equipment.…”

The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of injuries from exercise not involving equipment among children 18 and under. Methods included a retrospective review of data for children birth to 18 years old from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance (NEISS) system of the US consumer Product Safety Commission for the years 2005-2009. A total of 5093 cases were identified and would result in an estimated 175,000 injuries in the US. The most common type of injury was a sprain/strain to the ankle (20%). Four out of five injuries were among children between 10 and 18. Injuries occurring at school accounted for 40% of the injuries. Exercise-related injuries are common among older children and often occur in schools or recreational environments but are usually minor. School officials and athletic personnel should make efforts to provide proper instruction on exercise activities and have resources to provide emergency care for injuries
