Understanding Pediatric Trauma:

Pediatric trauma refers to injuries sustained by children, from bumps and bruises to life-threatening situations. These injuries can occur due to various factors:

• Falls: A leading cause of childhood injuries, especially in younger children learning to walk or climb.
• Motor vehicle accidents: Children as passengers or pedestrians can sustain injuries in car accidents.
• Bicycle accidents: A common cause of injuries among older children.
• Sports injuries: Fractures, sprains, and other injuries can occur during sports activities.
• Blunt force trauma: Injuries from being struck by an object.
• Penetrating injuries: Wounds caused by sharp objects.

Recognizing Signs of Pediatric Trauma:

While some injuries may be obvious, others may require closer observation. Here are some signs to watch for after your child experiences a fall, accident, or other trauma:

• Visible injuries: Cuts, scrapes, bruises, or swelling.
• Pain: Pay attention to your child’s nonverbal cues if they cannot express pain verbally.
• Difficulty moving: Limping, inability to bear weight on a limb, or reduced range of motion in a joint.
• Vomiting: Can be a sign of head injury or internal injuries.
• Headaches: Especially concerning if accompanied by dizziness, confusion, or loss of consciousness.
• Changes in behavior: Unusual drowsiness, irritability, or confusion.
