Join us on the second Wednesday of each month as our trauma team discusses topics relevant to caring for trauma patients. At Children’s Minnesota, we’re specialized in everything, and ready for anything.

Children's Trauma Speakers Series: “Minnesota, Land of 10,000 Traumas” is designed to strengthen the trauma assessment skills of front-line care giver’s ability to recognize signs of life-threatening injuries and facilitate early intervention for positive outcomes of the pediatric patient while incorporating key components of management throughout the transition of care continuum.  Through use of case scenario discussions highlighting care considerations from injury through multi-system care, the learner will engage in early identification of injury and anticipation of needed treatments and on-going care from stabilization through recovery. Through discussion of the cases encountered requiring multi-system transport and care, a series of seven presentations strengthens the components of the primary assessment and head to toe assessment throughout the continuum of care.

Objectives:

• Use case reviews to highlight the importance of ongoing assessment of the injured child to identify injuries and promote recovery.
• Review assessment skills in children important to the early identification of traumatic injury, associated complications and on-going care.
• Discuss transition of care considerations in the management of pediatric injury and recovery.
