Abstract

In this brief review, I suggest a framework for the ideal pediatric trauma program. I provide a trauma program construct devised by the American College of Surgeons. I expand on this design by offering some concepts around how trauma programs can maximize their effectiveness in care, education, and research. This review was a preamble for a minisymposium focused on pediatric hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. opinion IV
