Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Emergency Medicine Children's Hospital Colorado Littleton, Colorado, United States
The traumatically injured child can be a highly stressful event for any provider. While the pediatric population is resilient, subtle findings can greatly impact care and outcomes. The approach to trauma care in this population should include a healthy understanding of the many ways in which children are similar to the adult population, the important components that make them different, and the utilization of the tools, signs and symptoms that can change your course of care. From the pediatric ABCs to use of new trauma-related tools and technology, this discussion will bring you up-to-date on pediatric trauma care. By working through a difficult case, this interactive session will present pediatric trauma pearls and core pediatric principles in trauma care for all levels of provider.
Learning Objectives:
Illustrate principles specific to pediatric trauma care and stabilization
