Pediatric Trauma Protocols

Pediatric trauma protocols are standardized steps healthcare providers follow to quickly assess and treat injured children. They prioritize airway, breathing, and circulation, then evaluate the severity of injuries using tools like scan imaging and physical exams. The goal is to stabilize vital life functions, prevent further harm, and determine if specialized care is needed. These protocols ensure prompt, organized care tailored to children’s unique needs, helping improve outcomes and reduce complications after injuries.
