Injuries are the leading cause of death for children, and often, non-pediatric specialists handle their trauma care. This book offers the latest, evidence-based guidelines for best practices in four key areas: 1) How pediatric trauma systems should be organized, including understanding the problem, setting up care networks, planning for disasters and large-scale child injuries, and community programs to prevent injuries. 2) The fundamental steps for resuscitating and supporting injured children. 3) Detailed information on specific types of injuries commonly seen in children, including those resulting from child abuse. 4) The processes of rehabilitation, communication with families, understanding long-term effects, and methods for improving care quality by tracking outcomes
