Popis:	BACKGROUND: An average of 37 children die annually in the United States from heat stroke as a result of being left unattended inside a vehicle (pediatric vehicular hyperthermia, PVH). The majority of these deaths occur because a caregiver unintentionally leaves a child in the car, often referred to as forgotten baby syndrome (FBS). Other causes include children being knowingly left in vehicles and children getting into unattended vehicles on their own. The current rates of childhood deaths from PVH in Canada are unknown.
