The Lies We've Been Taught: Pediatric Trauma Myths
This class will discuss common pediatric trauma practices that have been shown to be incorrect or worse. Children get hurt so often, EMS tends to classify everything as either a "boo boo" or a lights and siren emergency. By better understanding that children are not small adults, we can then understand what factual injury patterns are, normal signs and symptoms, age-appropriate care, and treatment pathways to better care for these patients. Our primary objective should be returning this patient to being just a kid.
