title: Special problems in management of pediatric trauma.
abstract: Until recently, concern over the care of the trauma victim has largely involved the adult population; although 7% of emergency calls are for the pediatric patient, insufficient attention has been paid to the care of these children. This article concentrates on those unique problems encountered in the management of pediatric trauma in prehospital and hospital settings.
