PEDS HEAD TRAUMA

LOW RISK, <2 y old

This pediatric patient presents with head trauma. Given mechanism, history, and physical exam findings, we have a low probability of serious injury to include intracranial bleed or skull fracture, DAI, or high risk of decompensation. Given lack of a severe mechanism, GCS 15 or lack of AMS, no occipital/parietal scalp hematoma, and no LOC, risk of obtaining a CT scan outweighs the potential benefit. Will observe patient, PO challenge, reassurance and reassessment, anticipating discharge with PMD follow up.

LOW RISK, >2 y old

This pediatric patient presents with head trauma. Given mechanism, history, and physical exam findings, we have a low probability of serious injury to include intracranial bleed or skull fracture, DAI, or high risk of decompensation. The patient has a GCS of 15 and is not altered, and has no or minimal LOC history. The mechanism is of low energy. In this group, PECARN rules demonstrate an exceptionally low risk of serious intracranial injury and obtaining further imaging is likely to be of little or no benefit.

Plan: observation, pain control, PO challenge, reassurance/reassessment, likely discharge

HIGH RISK:

This pediatric patient presents with a history concerning for a serious intracranial injury. Unable to clear patient with PECARN rules given  . Will obtain CT imaging to rule out intracranial injury or skull fracture. Patient is protecting airway and otherwise has an unremarkable secondary trauma survey.

Plan: CT scan head/neck, pain control, reassess
