The incidence of pediatric trauma continues to increase, presenting at almost every emergency department. Life-threatening injuries need to be cared for immediately, in whatever institution the patient presents. For severely injured children, optimal care is ultimately provided at specialized trauma centers. Physicians caring for trauma patients in less specialized institutions must be aware of who to transfer to a trauma center. Effective stabilization and timely, safe transport are vital to reduce further injury.
小儿创伤的发生率持续上升，几乎在每个急诊科都会出现。无论患者在哪个机构就诊，危及生命的损伤都需要立即得到救治。对于重伤儿童，最终应在专业创伤中心提供最佳治疗。在不太专业的机构照顾创伤患者的医生必须清楚该将患者转至哪个创伤中心。有效的稳定治疗以及及时、安全的转运对于减少进一步损伤至关重要。
