Abstract
Home accidents are one of the leading causes of death among children worldwide. First aids can in these situations help to initiate early treatment, which in turn may prevent death. Measures to improve emergency and medical treatment in the early phase may therefore help to save lives and reduce suffering. Home accidents require immediate attention but in Algeria, the problem is that majority of hospitals is usually concentrated around the urban areas and rural areas lack of emergency centers. In such situations, the parents must provide first aid until help arrives or carry the child to the nearest emergency center. Unfortunately, the first aid knowledge level among the parents is lower than expected. Therefore, the study aims to assist parents to the most common first aid emergency situations. We proposed a web-based expert system for the management of home accidents in collaboration with the pediatric intensive care unit of Oran’s Hospital.
