From the tragic case of baby M., Master, Doctor Tran Thi Bich Kim - Deputy Head of the Intensive Care and Anti-Poison Department, Children's Hospital 2 - said that this was a preventable accident if the family was more careful in choosing and using rolling doors, and at the same timeeducating children about the risks of playing near this device.

Dr. Kim recommends that families should prioritize rolling doors with sensors that automatically stop or reverse when encountering obstacles. Control buttons should be placed where children cannot reach, and an emergency shut-off button should be installed.

Children should be taught not to swing, climb or treat rolling doors as games; should not be allowed to play near rolling doors, especially when the device is operating.

In the event of an accident, proper first aid and taking the child to a medical facility promptly are extremely important, helping to increase the child's chances of survival and recovery.
