title: Anesthetic management of a complex pediatric trauma patient.
abstract: Trauma is a leading cause of mortality for pediatric patients worldwide. An increase in pediatric trauma cases occurs during summer because of a change in schedule and an increased risk with recreational activities. This case report presents the anesthetic care and management of a 15-year-old female who was involved in a high-speed rollover motor vehicle accident. In this case, multiple emerging therapies were combined with long-standing treatments. As a result, the patient who had a complicated intraoperative course survived multiple injuries and cardiac arrest without any neurologic insult.
