Description
Abstract
Las piscinas son una fuente común de caídas inducidas por res-
balones, con importantes costes socioeconómicos y severas consecuencias
para la salud de las víctimas. El objetivo principal fue examinar informa-
ción sobre factores de riesgo y conocer los mecanismos causales de sucesos
lesivos inducidos por resbalamientos asociados a piscinas de uso colectivo.
Se realizó un estudio observacional de tipo descriptivo a partir de fuen-
tes judiciales con emplazamiento en la población española para el período
2000-2015. El mecanismo causal más habitual fue la caída al mismo nivel
(79,2%) inducida por un resbalón cuando el sujeto caminaba (65,6%) sobre
un suelo resbaladizo (35,2%) en presencia de agua (64,8%), siendo el andén
que circunda el vaso la localización más citada (19,2%). Los resbalamientos
son prevenibles y la aplicación efectiva de normas internacionales sobre su-
perficies resistentes al deslizamiento puede dotar mayores garantías para la
protección de la salud de los usuarios.
ABSTRACT: Swimming pools are a common source of slip-induced falls, with a high socioeconomic cost and severe consequences for victim’s health con- ditions. The main objective was to examine risk factors and know mecha- nisms of slip-induced injuries associated with public swimming pools. A descriptive observational study of the Spanish population was conducted, using data from judicial sources from 2000 to 2015. In most cases, the common mechanism of the injury was a slip-induced fall at the same level (79.2%) originated while the subject was walking (65.6%) on a slippery floor (35.2%) with water (64.8%), being walkable area around a pool basin was the most cited location (19.2%). Slips are preventable and the effecti- ve application of international standards regarding slide-resistant surfaces could provide more reliable guarantee to protect the user health in swim- ming pools.
