Abstract

Management of the child with multiple injuries is among the most challenging problems in pediatric surgery. The first 20 minutes are crucial in determining the outcome. Our conceptual model of accomplishing 60 minutes' work in 20 minutes by the additive efforts of three teams working together is a simple, practical, and proven method for a pediatric trauma receiving unit. The checklist approach is recommended as the surest way to organize treatment and accomplish a thorough evaluation while effectively stabilizing pediatric trauma patients.
