Epidemiology - General Trauma is the leading cause of death between the ages of 1-18
Injury accounts for 5% of infant deaths
47% of these deaths are related to MVCs With rates higher in those >13yo
13% of deaths in those 1-14yo were a result of homicide
In the school age group Pedestrian injuries and bike injuries predominate

Pediatric Head Injury #1 cause of death due to trauma
~2700 deaths/year
450,000 children present to EDs each year with head injury
90% suffer from minor injuries
Perinatal period Birth injuries
1-4 years old Falls
School age Pedestrian or bike
injuries
Adolescence MVA

Children have larger heads than adults in relation to their body
The chance that it is hit in a traumatic event is larger
Head is heavy Different acceleration dynamics
![Page 5: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
At birth, face to cranium ratio is 1:8, adult ratio is 1:2.5
Makes it more likely skull is hit in younger children
Lack of pneumatization of sinuses is associated with more rigidity and less plasticity of facial skeleton
Increases transfer of forces directly to brain
![Page 6: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Pediatric Spine Injury 18.1 spinal cord injuries per million children
1300 new cases a year
60-80% of injuries occur at the cervical level
Adults have a 30-40% incidence
Children <8 yo More likely to sustain high
cervical (C1-C3) injuries
![Page 7: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Pediatric Thoracic Trauma #2 cause of trauma related mortality
In isolation, thoracic trauma carries a 5% mortality
25% when combined with abdominal injury
40% with head and abdominal injury
![Page 8: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Anatomic Considerations
Incomplete ossification of ribs allows anterior ribs to be compressed to meet posterior
Pulmonary contusions are common, rib fractures uncommon
Pulmonary contusions are most common thoracic injury in traumatized children
Trachea is narrow, short, more compressible
Great vessel and cardiac injury are rare in children
![Page 9: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Anatomic Considerations
Commotio Cordis is a unique consequence of pediatric thoracic trauma
Abrupt strike to the chest leads to V-Fib and arrest
![Page 10: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Pericardial tamponade:
Pericardial tamponade is caused by blunt or penetrating trauma to the heart. Blood leaks into the pericardial sac, causing compression of the heart. As the volume of blood in sac increases, the compression of the heart becomes more pronounced. This causes cardiac output to fall dramatically and leads to a backup of volume in the venous system.
![Page 11: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Pericardial Tamponade Signs of pericardial tamponade are:
Broken ribs or penetrations to chest wall.Dyspnea/CyanosisNeck vein distentionWeak, thready pulseDecreasing blood pressureShockNarrowing pulse pressure
![Page 12: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pericardial Tamponade Treatment:
OxygenationAssisted ventilation as necessaryIV therapyEKG monitoringRapid transport to nearest I Trauma facility
![Page 13: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Cardiac Contusion:
Cardiac contusion is a common injury following severe blunt trauma to the chest. It usually occurs when the heart is compressed between the sternum and the spinal column. Severe contusions may include rupture of the heart wall. Most commonly, the right ventricle is injured, as it lays directly beneath the sternum.
![Page 14: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Commotio Cordis:
Commotio cordis, or “concussion” of the heart, is generally described as “instantaneous cardiac arrest produced by non-penetrating chest blows in the absence of heart disease or identifiable morphologic injury to the chest wall or heart.”Commotio Cordis represents one of the most common mechanisms of sudden death in sports seen in young athletes.
![Page 17: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Commotio Cordis—Review of Condition
Classic presentation is a blow to the chest during a sporting activity that precipitates sudden collapse, followed by death if prompt resuscitation is not available.Most commonly occurs during baseball, but can occur during hockey, lacrosse, karate, and recreational activities such as sledding or biking.
![Page 18: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Goal of Multicasualty Triage
“To do the best for the most
using the least.”
![Page 59: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Primary Disaster Triage Goal: to sort patients based on probable needs for immediate care. Also to recognize futility.
Assumptions:
Medical needs outstrip immediately available resources
Additional resources will become available with time
![Page 60: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Primary Disaster Triage Triage based on physiology
How well the patient is able to utilize their own resources to deal with their injuries
Which conditions will benefit the most from the expenditure of limited resources
![Page 61: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The physiology of adults and children are not the same.
![Page 62: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Why do we need a pediatric tool?
To optimize triage effectiveness to the benefit
of all victims, not just children.
![Page 63: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Why do we need an objective pediatric tool?
The pediatric knowledge base and confidence levels of many EMS providers are not as good as
they can and should be.

START: Potential Problems with Children
An apneic child is more likely to have a primary respiratory problem than an adult. Perfusion may be maintained for a short time and the child may be salvageable.
RR +/- 30 may either over-triage or under-triage a child, depending on age .
![Page 67: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
START: Potential Problems with Children
Capillary refill may not adequately reflect peripheral hemodynamic status in a cool environment.
Obeying commands may not be an appropriate gauge of mental status for younger children.
![Page 68: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
JumpSTART Goals Modify an existing tool for use with children
Utilize decision points that are flexible enough to serve children of all ages and reflective of the unique points of pediatric physiology
Minimize over- and under-triage
Accomplish triage within 30 second/pt goal
![Page 69: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

JumpSTART: Age Initially ages 1-8 years chosen
Less than one year of age is less likely to be ambulatory.
The pertinent pediatric physiology (specifically, the airway) approaches that of adults by approximately eight years of age.

JumpSTART: AgeCurrent recommendation:
If a victim appears to be a child, use JumpSTART.
If a victim appears to be a young adult, use START.
![Page 73: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
JumpSTART: Ambulatory
Identify and direct all ambulatory patients Identify and direct all ambulatory patients to designated to designated GreenGreen area for secondary area for secondarytriage and treatment. Begin assessmenttriage and treatment. Begin assessment
of nonambulatory patients as youof nonambulatory patients as youcome to them.come to them.

Modification for nonambulatory childrenAll children carried to the GREEN area by other
ambulatory victims must be the first assessed by
medical personnel in that area.
![Page 75: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
JumpSTART: Breathing? If breathing spontaneously, go on to the next step, assessing respiratory rate.
If apneic or with very irregular breathing, open the airway using standard positioning techniques.
If positioning results in resumption of spontaneous respirations, tag the patient immediate and move on.
![Page 76: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
The “Jumpstart” PartIf no breathing after airway opening, check for peripheral pulse. If no pulse, tag patient deceased/nonsalvageable and move on.
If there is a peripheral pulse, give 5 mouth to barrier ventilations. If apnea persists, tag patient deceased/nonsalvageable and move on.
If breathing resumes after the “jumpstart”, tag patient immediate and move on.
![Page 77: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
JumpSTART: Respiratory Rate
If respiratory rate is 15-45/min, proceed to assess perfusion.
If respiratory rate is <15 or >45/min or irregular, tag patient as immediate and move on.
![Page 78: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)
JumpSTART:Perfusion
If peripheral pulse is palpable, proceed to assess mental status.
If no peripheral pulse is present (in the least injured limb), tag patient immediate and move on.
![Page 79: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
JumpSTART: Mental Status Use AVPU scale to assess mental status.
If Alert, responsive to Verbal, or appropriately responsive to Pain, tag as delayed and move on.
If inappropriately responsive to Pain or Unresponsive, tag as immediate and move on.

Modification for nonambulatory children
Evaluate using the JS algorithm
If any RED criteria, tag as RED.
If pt satisfies YELLOW criteria:
YELLOW if significant external signs of injury are found (ie. deep penetrating wounds, severe bleeding, severe burns, amputations, distended tender abdomen)
GREEN if no significant external injury
![Page 82: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)

Advantages JumpSTART provides a rapid triage system specifically designed for children, taking into consideration their unique physiology.
The algorithm is modified from an existing system widely accepted for adult triage.
For most patients, triage can be accomplished within the 30 second goal.
![Page 107: Pediatric Trauma Review Focus on chest trauma and a JumpSTART Review Silver Cross Hospital EMS May 2014 CE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062806/56649e885503460f94b8cba0/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)
Advantages Objective triage criteria for children will help to eliminate the role of emotions in the triage process.
Objective triage criteria will provide emotional support for triage personnel forced to make life or death decisions for children in the MCI setting.
