Pediatric trauma refers to injuries sustained by children and adolescents that may require medical intervention. These injuries can result from a variety of causes, including car accidents, falls, sports injuries, and child abuse. Research in pediatric trauma focuses on understanding the mechanisms and outcomes of these injuries, as well as developing strategies to prevent them and improve the care and treatment of pediatric trauma patients. This research area also encompasses the psychological and social aspects of pediatric trauma, such as the long-term impact on children and their families. Overall, the goal of research in pediatric trauma is to improve the outcomes and quality of life for children who have experienced traumatic injuries.
