Babies and bullets NEVER belong in the same sentence. However, pediatric GSW injuries are skyrocketing in the U.S. Pediatric GSW victims are complicated by physiologic compensatory mechanisms clouding assessment, special equipment needs, and multiple emotional and psychological distractors. Come to this fast-paced, scenario-based lecture to learn how to manage the big problems associated with our littlest GSW patients.

Learning Objectives:

  • List pediatric physiologic compensatory mechanisms that can cloud assessment.
  • Identify strategies to reduce emotional, physical, and psychological distractors while caring for the pediatric GSW victim.
  • Explain how implicit bias can affect the care of pediatric GSW patients.
