Objective:
We present our experience of pediatric injuries over 5 years from a level I trauma centre.
Methods:
De-identified data from a prospectively maintained database of pediatric patients was analyzed for demography and injury-related parameters, and management provided.
Results:
There were 906 patients (698 male, median age 12 years). Predominant cause was road traffic injuries. The median injury severity score was 9. Abdomen and thorax were the commonest regions affected. There were 44 deaths. Sepsis and hemorrhage were the commonest causes of mortality.
Conclusions:
The magnitude of pediatric injuries is significant, and maintenance of dedicated trauma registries is the need of the hour.

Burn Injuries
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
