Prehospital pediatric care is an important component in the treatment of the injured child, as the prehospital responders are the first medical providers performing life saving and directed medical care. Traumatic injuries are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric patient population. Nevertheless, for most prehospital provider it is a rare event to treat pediatric trauma patients and there is a still existing gap between the quality of care for pediatric patients compared to adults. To improve pediatric prehospital trauma care more provider need to be trained in identifying the specific differences between adult and pediatric patients.

“…12,13,25Y31 Bankole et al 32 questioned this practice by showing that pediatric patients had significantly more difficulties with PHI when compared with adults. Multiple other studies have indicated that airway PHIs have been detrimental to mortality and functional outcome when compared with manual bag mask ventilation.…”
