Objectives1.Develop a schema to identify the
signs and symptoms of Child Physical Abuse(CPA)
2. Report reasonable suspicion of physical abuse to the appropriate agencies

Prevalence Second to neglect in reported cases of child
maltreatment accounting for 18-20%. 26.4% of an adult cohort reported CPA. 1.3-15% of ED visits for child injury. Underreported and misdiagnosed
31% of children with AHT were initially misdiagnosed
Due to lack of training, reluctance to report, failure to consult, and low index of suspicion

Aging of Bruises
Visual aging of bruises is inexact. Bruise with yellow is more than 18 hours
old. Red, blue, purple—present 1 hour to
resolution. Red color can be present anytime. Bruises of same age on same person can
vary in color.

morbidity(blindness, CP, ADHD, retardation, seizures).
Survey showed 2.6% of mothers shake their children <2 yo for discipline.

shaking with or without impact.Can occur from birth but are small and
resolve by 2-4 weeks.R/O vitamin K deficiency or glutaric

Chest Examination Rib fractures(pain, crepitance,
splinting,palpable callus, tachypnea, shallow breathing)
Rib fractures often occur in adults from CPR but rarely in children and almost never in infants.
Heart trauma is rare but if present is severe(hemopericardium and contusions)

Rib FracturesPosterior fractures are most common.Next most common is mid-axillary.Overlying bruises may be seen, but are
often absent.Symptoms are usually absent.Grating feeling may be present.

Extremity ExaminationObserve for deformity, swelling, lack of
use, discoloration, tenderness, ROM.Skeletal survey is indicated in <2 yo
with suspected CPA/neglect.Repeat in 2 weeks in selected cases.R/O rickets, scurvy, syphylis, and

When to Suspect Abuse Metaphyseal fractures in children
younger than 2 years Posterior rib fractures Scapular fractures Spine fractures Sternal fractures Multiple, especially bilateral fractures
![Page 58: Physical Abuse of Children by Jim Carpenter MD,MPH,FAAP October 21, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cb65503460f9497b48a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
When to Suspect Abuse Fractures to hands or feet Fractures in infants or young children Fractures in children of poverty Fractures in prematurely born children Fractures in developmentally
handicapped Fractures with unexplained associated
injuries
![Page 59: Physical Abuse of Children by Jim Carpenter MD,MPH,FAAP October 21, 2009.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032702/56649cb65503460f9497b48a/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Diagnostic Testing for CPABleeding screen(CBCD, platelets, INR,
PT/PTT, VWF, Vit K, or other factors).Abdominal screen(LFT’s, amylase,
lipase, urinalysis, CT scan> KUB).Fracture screen(skeletal survey, bone
