The meeting will consist of distinctive talks by experts including specialists from the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and paediatric anaesthesia who will give insight into some of the differences and pitfalls that may be encountered. Additionally, a series of interesting case studies will be presented where participants will have the opportunity to engage in a thought-provoking discussion and debate.
The talks that will be covered will provide an introduction into the basic underlying principles of paediatric trauma care. Covering, the anatomical and physiological differences between infants, children and adults. There will be a special focus on head injury and traumatic brain injury which accounts for nearly 75% of all paediatric deaths due to trauma.
