Trauma is the leading cause of pediatric mortality, potential years of life lost, and a significant medical cost in the developed world. Children have a higher incidence of mortality compared with adults. Mortality in children with traumatic hemorrhagic shock is 50%, compared to 20% to 25% in adults. Recent studies indicate that resuscitation practices (appropriate blood product ratios and tranexamic acid) can dramatically reduce mortality in children with traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Resuscitation and hemostatic strategies are a key target for standardization and investigation but clinical trial design surrounding this topic is difficult not only because of the lack of standardization in resuscitation approaches, transfusion strategies, use of hemostatic monitoring and adjuncts, but also the lack of agreed-on critical definitions and common data elements for study. To address these challenges, a multiprofessional team of highly engaged international experts and key stakeholders developed consensus statements on best practices on research priorities based on current literature. This session will describe the methodology behind this consensus conference, detail the consensus recommendations, and dive deeper into critical topics in resuscitation of pediatric trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock.
