A2 - Drigalla, Dorian A2 - Stephan, Maria PY - 2014 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Pediatric Emergency Medicine AB - Evaluation of the pediatric patient with maxillofacial and neck trauma begins with the primary trauma assessment. Depending on the injuries present, airway management may be difficult due to distortion of normal landmarks or blood present in the path of visualization. It is often difficult to determine the severity of an injury by external examination alone, and complete evaluation may require the use of advanced imaging techniques or consultation with a trauma surgeon.
