Outline for today
• “Children are not little adults”• General concepts in pediatric trauma• Multiple trauma – major trauma/ ATLS• Quick hits: body parts and bones
![Page 3: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How do injuries happen…
![Page 4: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Children versus adults in trauma
• More energy from trauma distributes across more surface area
• The bony skeleton is less calcified, has active growth centers, and is more pliable
• Ratio of surface area to volume means thermal losses are a concern
![Page 5: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
You are called to the trauma bay…
• A 2 year old who was run over by a heavy delivery truck when she dashed out in front of the truck. She fell forward as she was struck by the bumper. The front tire rolled over her body prone on the pavement from the buttocks toward her left shoulder. She was crying and her parents who noticed what happened immediately drove to the hospital in their own car.
• VS T37, P140, R40, BP 100/65, oxygen saturation 94% in room air.
![Page 6: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The exam• She is crying, alert and cooperative. Her head and face show no
tenderness, bruising or abrasions. Pupils are reactive. TM's are normal. Teeth are intact without evidence of oral injury. Her neck is non-tender. Her neck range of motion is not restricted. Heart regular. Lungs clear, with an occasional grunting sound. Anterior chest shows no bruises. Her abdomen is soft, not tender with active bowel sounds. There is extensive bruising over her anterior pelvis. There is no bleeding. Her labia are bruised but no bleeding or tears are noted. Her lower extremities are non-tender distal to the pelvis. Her back shows mild bruising in the upper chest and the buttocks. She can move all her fingers and toes well. She does not move her lower extremities spontaneously. No extremity deformities noted. Color and perfusion are good.

Major trauma: important questions
• Is the airway stable?• Is respiratory effort
sufficient?• Is the patient in shock?• Is there a neurologic
deficit?• What are the extent of
the injuries?
![Page 11: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Trauma team activation
• Physiologic criteria– Cardiac arrest– Hypotension per age– Respiratory distress– Neurologic failure– Trauma score < 12
• Anatomic criteria– Penetrating wound to
head, chest, abdomen– Facial/tracheal injury
with potential for airway compromise
– Burn > 30% BSA– Major electrical injury

Pediatric Trauma Score
![Page 14: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Predicting mortality from trauma• The trauma BIG score
– Admission Base deficit– INR– Glasgow Coma Scale
• Score = (base deficit + [2.5*INR] + [15-GCS])• Predicted mortality =
1 / (1 + e-x) where x = 0.2 * BIG – 5.208• Mortality of 50% is predicted for a child with
– Base deficit 10, INR 3.6, GCS of 6

Pediatric trauma: Airway and C spine
![Page 17: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pediatric trauma: Shock
• Up to 30% loss of circulating volume may be required to influence systolic BP in a child
• If more than 2 fluid boluses of 20 cc/kg have been given to support perfusion, PRBC are needed and surgeon’s involvement is key
Systemic response to blood loss: childrenSystem <30%

CV Nl BP Low BP Absent peripherals
CNS Anxious irritable
Lethargic Comatose
Skin Cool, mottled
Cyanotic, delayed refill
Pale, cold
UO Low Minimal None

Pediatric trauma: neurologic disability
• Neurologic assessment occurs in both primary and secondary survey phases– Primary survey - a “quick scan” for disability
• Pupils, GCS, lateralizing signs, level of spinal cord injury– Secondary survey - comprehensive assessment
• Repeat of pupils and GCS• Full assessment of cranial nerves and distal motor and
sensory function as able to given age of patient
![Page 19: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Loss of vital signs in the trauma bay
• Children who suffer blunt trauma and then develop cardiac arrest are known to have poor outcomes
• 10/10 patients with blunt trauma died despite thoracotomies in the trauma bay
• 1 patient with penetrating injury and stable vital signs on arrival who underwent emergent thoracotomy survived

Back to our 2 year old patient
• Pertinent history– She fell forward as she was struck by the bumper. The
front tire rolled over her body prone on the pavement from the buttocks toward her left shoulder.
• Vitals – T37, P140, R40, BP 100/65, O2 saturation 94% in room air
• Exam– Bruising over her anterior pelvis, labia are bruised – Back shows bruising, upper chest and buttocks– No spontaneous movement of lower extremities

Neurotrauma
• Key facts, current thinking– Cerebral perfusion pressure
depends on a normal MAP – Goal for ventilation in
neurotrauma is normocarbia
– When increased ICP is suspected,
• Elevation of head of bed• Sedation• Mannitol• Hypertonic saline
![Page 27: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Thoracic trauma
• Lung contusion is the most common pediatric thoracic injury
• Pediatric patients are more sensitive to mediastinal shifts from air/fluid in pleural space
• Risk of intraabdominal injury higher in setting of thoracic trauma
![Page 28: Approach to trauma the paeds emerg perspective](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/568163c1550346895dd4e380/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Abdominal Trauma
• CT is the preferred diagnostic imaging modality to identify abdominal injury
• Chief indication for operative exploration in a child is a transfusion requirement that exceeds 40cc/kg in first 24 hours of care
