View show details

In this third episode of our Paediatric Mini-Series, we tackle the critical topic of paediatric trauma—a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Dr Andrew Tagg, co-founder of Don't Forget the Bubbles and an expert in paediatric emergency care, joins us to walk through the unique considerations, common pitfalls, and high-yield strategies for managing the injured child.

From the subtle signs of serious injury to trauma team activation, we explore how trauma in children differs from adults and what clinicians need to know to manage these high-stakes situations effectively.

🔑 Key Topics Covered:

Why trauma is not just adult trauma in small bodies
Anatomical and physiological differences in children
The importance of early recognition and escalation
Common injuries by age and mechanism (e.g. falls, NAI, RTAs)
Paediatric-specific trauma assessments: ABCDE with a paeds lens
