Trends in Paediatric Traumatic Major Haemorrhage from a Major Trauma Centre.

Trends in Paediatric Traumatic Major Haemorrhage from a Major Trauma Centre. Paediatr Anaesth. 2020 Oct 13;: Authors: Lewis H, O'Neill B, Edmonds N Abstract Injury requiring management of major haemorrhage in paediatric trauma (called 'code red' at our institution) can result in critically injured children with high injury severity scores (ISS) and mortality. The rise in penetrating trauma in younger adolescents has led to an increase in major haemorrhage activations in injured children at this trauma centre. Criteria used to define a paediatric code red, at our institution, is non-compressible haemorrhage, obvious signs of bleeding, clinical signs of shock and/or cardiac arrest at scene.
