What is Pediatric Trauma: Key Insights and Stats about?

1) Pediatric trauma is the leading cause of death between ages 1-18, with head injuries being the #1 cause of trauma-related death. Anatomic differences between children and adults result in differing injury patterns. 2) The pediatric skull is more deformable allowing it to absorb impact better, but infants can lose significant blood into their cranium from head injuries. The pediatric spine is also more flexible and vulnerable to injury. 3) Blunt thoracic trauma is the #2 cause of pediatric trauma death.
