AB  - Trauma  is  the  number  1  cause  of  mortality  and  morbidity  for  children  even  in  the  developed  world,  and  major  resources  are  still  needed  to  prevent  and  treat  traumatic  injuries.  Between  1  month  and  18  years  of  age,  one-half  of  all  deaths  in  children  are  the  result  of  a  traumatic  injury.  Trauma  accounts  for  more  deaths  in  children  in  this  age  range  than  all  forms  of  cancer,  heart  disease,  and  infections  combined.  The  objectives  of  this  chapter  will  be  to  review  the  differences  between  adults  and  children  in  regard  to  mechanism  of  injury  and  physiologic  response;  discuss  pathophysiology  and  the  initial  management  of  the  trauma  victim;  and  outline  common  injuries  involving  various  organ  systems.
