This high-yield review provides a practical framework to rapidly identify and stabilize severely injured pediatric trauma patients.

Best Abstract Presentation. SAGES 2026.
Delivered by our chief resident, Dr. Kelly Champlin - calm under pressure, sharp in the data, and unshaken in Q&A.
The message landed: surgery-first isn’t just a procedure - it’s a clinical philosophy.
Proud is an understatement.

High Pediatric Readiness in EDs is linked to lower mortality risk. The National Pediatric Readiness Project Assessment helps your ED identify improvements that matter most for better outcomes.
Talk to your ED leadership about participating at pedsready.org. @ALiEMteam

A busy week at @SAGES_Updates with some great hernia sessions and a sold out CBDE course. Already looking forward to SAGES 2027 in Vegas!

Intraoperative cholangiograms are a valuable tool if correctly interpreted. Synoptic reporting, a highly structured form of documentation, can promote thorough, deliberate intraoperative analysis. Check out the ABCDEF template proposed by @MBosleyMD et al!

Very few faculty 1 year out of training can teach this course with confidence and experience. Lucky to have @MBosleyMD teaching our trainees how to perform CBDE and interpret IOC. 50+ LCBDEs 1 year into practice. @cutitoutPODCAS1 @EricKnauerMD @rbarbosa91

Updated APSA Guidelines for Managing Blunt & Spleen Injuries🩺
This summarizes the updated APSA guidelines for managing blunt liver & spleen injuries (BLSI) in pediatric trauma, focusing on care based on hemodynamics rather than injury grade.

On #VeteransDay2024, we honor the brave and selfless military pediatric surgeons who have not only dedicated their lives to healing and caring for our youngest heroes, but have also answered the call to serve our nation in times of need. Thank you for your service!

Inviting a trauma patient and their parents back to speak about their experience is such a special moment with trauma conferences. Thank you for including this sweet patient and his family @PediTraumaSoc

Hearing a challenging trauma case of a child on ECMO for 60 days, the doctors and nurses who fought everyday, & then to have him walk in at the #PTS2024 conference w/ standing ovation is POWERFUL. A trauma survivor story makes us know what we do every day matters @PediTraumaSoc

Our data suggest that prioritization of prehospital transfusion improves survivability in patients with severe hemorrhage despite a modest increase in transport time.

Go to the supply room and *get the supplies yourself*.
And this isn’t just to be nice… it’s also almost always faster. You will save yourself time in the long run by knowing where things are.

More evidence in favor of WB use in resuscitation of injured children! WB was independently associated w reduced mortality and higher WB:TTV increased survival. 🩸huge thanks to @AnderDorken @PhilSpinellaMD @joshua_b_brown @ChristineLeeper journals.lww.com/jtrauma/abs…

Dr. Yancey's 1952 publication describing the submucosal colonic dissection

This study was carried by the amazing @jessicarauhmd and @MaxForsstenMD. Once again what guidelines and “experts” advocate is not always how it is carried out in real world practice and surprisingly with same/better outcomes 🤔 @saranimd @lpneff @JTraumAcuteSurg @RaulCoimbraMD
Most children with AAST-OIS Grade III-IV pancreatic injuries are managed nonoperatively. While it is unclear if NOM or OM leads to superior outcomes, NOM does afford a chance to limit an invasive procedure and its attendant risks and time to recovery.

Hard to compare LCBDE techniques and success rates unless we are comparing apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Check out our IOC classification system to help further research efforts in this domain 👇
