Trauma Surgery In India
Pediatric Trauma Surgery
As with tumors, trauma is a rather broad topic and will be touched on briefly. As a child develops he or she is subject to various types of trauma primarily related to age and activity. These can be broken down into three large categories. These are injuries occurring at birth, during infancy and during childhood. Often the injuries are accidental or due to a failure in the protective environment we place the child in.
Multiple trauma has been defined as substantial injury to more than one organ system or life-threatening injury to a single organ system. The full impact of injury deaths in children and adolescents is reflected in the fact that injury surpasses all major disease groups as the leading cause of premature years of life lost in this country. A major consideration in dealing with injured children is the effect that injury may have on subsequent growth and development.

The Pediatric Trauma Service at the We Care India partner Hospital is an interdisciplinary program with special resources from throughout the institution that are dedicated to providing optimal care for the child who sustains a significant traumatic injury.

As a Level 1 trauma center we have an emergency department specifically equipped for children, as well as a pediatric intensive care unit with appropriately trained surgical and pediatric specialists available to care for the injured child. In addition, the child protection service provides expert consultation on child abuse cases……..
