摘要

背景：在夏令营或儿童保育期间游泳的儿童群体通常由少数救生员和工作人员监控。儿童与工作人员的比例过高会降低游泳池监测的有效性，增加溺水风险。本研究的目的是评估可以补充水池监测的新型溺水检测技术。方法：WAVE™ 溺水探测系统在营地水池中部署了8周。WAVE™ 溺水检测系统要求游泳者佩戴头带，当他们在水中浸泡一段时间时，会向振动的工作人员手环发出警报，并发出声音警报。收集了警报数量的数据，并对工作人员进行了调查。结果：每小时启动一到两次警报。工作人员报告说，危险的水下游戏和离开游泳池区域是发出警报的首要原因。工作人员发现，对危险泳池行为的认识很有用，并对误报持中立态度。工作人员发现该系统易于学习和使用，但建议可以提高头带的贴合度和舒适度。工作人员相信该系统可以帮助挽救某人的生命。结论：WAVE系统是一种低风险、易于使用的技术，可以补充救生员对游泳池中大群儿童的监测。

Evaluation of the WAVE Drowning Detection System^TM for use with children's summer camp groups in swimming pools: A prospective observational study.

Background: Groups of children swimming during summer camp or child care are generally monitored by a small number of lifeguards and staff. The high child-to-staff ratio can make pool monitoring less effective, increasing drowning risk. The aim of this study is to evaluate novel drowning detection technology that could supplement pool monitoring.

Methods: The WAVE^™ Drowning Detection System was deployed at a camp pool for 8 weeks. The WAVE^™ Drowning Detection System entails headbands worn by swimmers that send alerts to vibrating staff bracelets and audible alarms when submerged for a period of time. Data on the number of alerts were collected, and staff were surveyed.

Results: One or two alerts were initiated every hour. Staff reported that risky underwater play and exiting the pool area were top reasons for alerts. Staff found the awareness brought to risky pool behavior useful and had a neutral attitude about false alarms. Staff found the system easy to learn and use but suggested headband fit and comfort could be improved. Staff believed the system could help save someone's life.

Conclusions: The WAVE system is low-risk, easy-to-use technology that may supplement lifeguard monitoring of large groups of children in pools.
