“ If a disease were killing our children in the proportions that injuries are, people would be outraged and demand that this killer be stopped.”
C. Everett Koop, M.D.

Children age 0-5 requiring medical attention
for injuries• 27,543 surveyed regarding the past year
• 10.4% (2,856) responded YES
• Approximately 2.5 million (extrapolated to 2007 population data)

Lets Think for a Minute…
Anatomy/PhysiologyOverall smaller size, more compact organs
Proportionately larger head
Smaller, narrower, funnel-shaped upper airway
Flatter facets joints, more elastic cervical ligaments
Injury ResponseMultiple injuries more common
Higher frequency of head trauma
Higher frequency of soft-tissue obstruction
Greater propensity for spinal cord injury without radiologic abnormality (SCIWORA)
![Page 13: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Lets Think for a Minute…
Anatomy/PhysiologyThinner chest wall, more flexible ribs
Horizontal ribs, weaker intercostals
More mobile mediastinum
Abdominal organs more anterior and less subcutaneous fat
Injury ResponseHigher frequency of pulmonary injury
Young children are diaphragm breathers
Tension pneumothorax poorly tolerated
Higher risk of intra-abdominal injury and bleeding
![Page 14: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Lets Think for a Minute…
Anatomy/PhysiologySofter bones, thicker periosteum
Active, unfused bony growth plates
Compensatory vasoconstriction
Larger body surface area/mass ratio
Injury ResponseHigher frequency of incomplete fractures
Disturbed growth after growth plate fractures
Normal blood pressure with early shock
Greater heat loss from exposed body surfaces
![Page 15: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Imaging considerations (more thinking)
Another lecture entirely…
• Clinical practice guidelines
Head – PECARN
Cervical Spine – PECARN, NEXUS
Abdomen/Pelvis – PECARN
• CXR +/- Pelvis XR
• FAST
• Serial exams/labs
![Page 16: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Things to Remember…
Be safe (universal precautions, traffic, sharps)
Be quiet, but diligent and thorough
Don’t be distracted
Unsightly, non-life threatening injuries
Crying, screaming families
Beeping, metal crashing
Communicate with team leader
Keep the drama out of the trauma
![Page 17: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Back to the patient…
ABCD next steps…
• Grunting, Tachypnea, Retractions, good BS w/ diffuse crackles, SpO2 91% w/ NRB 15L in place
• Rapid Sequence Intubation with inline
C-spine immobilization
![Page 18: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
ABCD next steps…
• Tachycardia, Hypertension, Abdominal tenderness, pelvic tenderness/blood PV, LLE deformity
• Second large bore IV or IO,
• 20-40cc/kg NS or LR then PRBCs
• Consider pelvic stabilization
• Traction of femur fracture
![Page 19: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
ABCD next steps…
GCS 10, moving all extremities
• Close observation for signs of herniation
• Maintain BP, ICP monitor for CPP
• Normocapnea
• Elevate head of bed 30deg prn
• Possible load with AEDs
![Page 20: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Secondary survey
Check from head to toe
Rectal exam for gross blood and tone
Roll/remove BB with C-spine precaution
Maintain warm environment

Pediatric Trauma
• Family• In trauma room or private area, Updates, don’t
leave alone
• Foley (if blood at meatus -> retrograde urethrogram)
• Fever • consider pre-op ABX for procedures (cefazolin) • DTap, TIG, or Tdap as indicated

Pediatric Trauma
Non accidental injury• History is not c/w injury pattern
• History changes with repeated questioning
• History is unknown
• Injury is not c/w developmental abilities of pt• ie. 6 mo climbed up onto counter and fell
• History of repeated injuries/ED visits
![Page 26: Not Just Smaller Injuries: Considerations in Pediatric Trauma Carl P. Kaplan, MD Assistant Professor of Pediatrics & Emergency Medicine Stony Brook University.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070415/5697bfb71a28abf838c9ed67/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Non accidental injuryHead/Facial injury very common (present in 60-70%)
SBS – SDH, Rib fractures, retinal (multilayer) hemorrhages
Spiral fractures, corner fractures, fractures in different stages of healing
Blunt abdominal trauma.

• May be associated with airway burns
• May be associated with toxic exposures
life threatening = CarboxyHb, CN, HF
