About

This video discusses pediatric trauma resuscitation, including how to perform the primary and secondary surveys and principles of teamwork. Dr. David Mooney discusses preparation, roles in resuscitation (airway management, evaluation, IVs, monitoring), equipment needs (airway, IV catheters, cervical collars), transfer decisions, behavior in the trauma room, primary and secondary surveys, the trauma checkpoint process, parental presence benefits, and concerns regarding CT scans and radiation risks in children. The emphasis is on preparedness, team coordination, and minimizing unnecessary procedures like pan scans due to radiation risks.
