Pediatric Trauma Center Utilization for Children Transported by Emergency Medical Services
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the patterns of emergency medical services (EMS) transport to pediatric trauma centers (PTCs) for injured children who met trauma center criteria and to identify factors influencing this transport. Their study found that, despite having geographic access and meeting the criteria, only 40.6% of eligible children were transported to PTCs, with disparities based on demographics and injury types. The findings suggest a need for interventions to improve transport practices and enhance pediatric care readiness at non-PTCs.
