AbstractPediatric trauma patients have unique physiology and anatomy that impact the severity and patterns of injury. There is a need for updated, holistic guidance for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) clinicians and medical directors to optimize prehospital pediatric trauma guidelines based on evidence and best practice. This is especially pertinent to pediatric severe and inflicted trauma, where prehospital evaluation and management determine the overall quality of care and patient outcomes. This position statement addresses the prehospital evaluation and management of pediatric severe and inflicted trauma and is based on a thorough review and analysis of the current literature.
