Paediatric Trauma

Paediatric trauma refers to physical injuries sustained by infants, children, or adolescents due to accidents, falls, or external forces. These injuries can range from minor cuts and bruises to life-threatening internal damage. Children's unique anatomy and developmental stage require specialized evaluation and treatment compared to adults.

Causes of Paediatric Trauma:

  • Falls from beds, stairs, or playground equipment

  • Road traffic accidents (as pedestrians, cyclists, or passengers)

  • Sports-related injuries

  • Burns or scalds

  • Accidental poisoning or choking

  • Non-accidental injuries (child abuse or neglect)


Common Symptoms:

  • Visible wounds, bruises, or swelling

  • Excessive crying or irritability

  • Difficulty breathing or chest pain

  • Abdominal pain or vomiting

  • Limping or refusal to move a limb

  • Loss of consciousness or confusion

  • Bleeding from the nose, ears, or mouth
