ABSTRACT

Trauma is an important cause of mortality and morbidity. For many patients, the initial trip to the emergency department is the medical transport. The earliest evidence of transport of the ill and injured patient can be traced to biblical times, although the practice was refined only during the latter half of past century. The history of pediatric transport began in the 1970’ when neonatal transport teams were organized; pediatric training programs in the United States that offer a transport service report transporting between 80 to 700 patients each year. It is very clear that only specialized pediatric setting can meet the whole spectrum of needs of the critically ill and injured child. Children require health care from professionals with special training and expertise in assessment and appropriate treatment of injuries. In this issue are reviewed the guidelines of treatment of critically ill children with trauma.
