Trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality for children in the United States. Access to trauma care, injury burden, and outcomes following injury, are inequitable. There are many anatomic and physiologic differences between children and adults that affect injury patterns and necessary trauma treatment. The principles of advanced trauma life support (ATLS) should be used by clinicians in high-resource settings for the immediate in-hospital treatment of the injured child.
