Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma

Evident Base? Or Rule of Thumb?

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Most researches on Pediatric MHT are on small sample size or retrospective. Old recommendations and guidelines were derived from adult data. There are no large pediatric studies such as the “Nexus II Investigation” or “The Canadian CT Head Rule Study…”

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma There is simply not enough data!!!!!!!! So what do we do? Commonsense? Brrrr!! Adult guidelines? Some cases. Pediatric guidelines and a lot of RESEARCH (Multi center, multi national)

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma What are the questions: –Definition. –Who should be in charge? –Which patient can go home? –Risk factors and low risk criteria. –What do we fear? –What can help us reduce the risk? And if you can think of more questions – please let me know. I Probably won’t have an answer for you, but I may have quite a few.

What is Minor Head Injury? GCS –No real consensus to the definition Normal mental status, no focal or abnormal findings on neuro exam, no signs of skull #. –AAP 2000 GCS >14 –Israeli MOH Are there other factor to consider?

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma History = 95% of diagnosis: –Age –Mechanism –LOC (duration) –Amnesia –Convulsion PE = 4% of diagnosis: –GSC –Neurological findings –Multiple Injuries

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma

Who is in charge?

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Not a real problem in level 1, 2, & 3 trauma centers in the US of A. First year surgical resident?! Pediatric surgery house physician?! Intern?!

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma So who can go home? (what are we afraid of?) Low risk for occult ICI* *Intra Cranial Injury

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Risk for occult ICI: –The age factor: Most of the cases <6 m old Hardly ever > 12 m old. No record (in the literature) of occult ICI over 2 y. –Mechanism: Fall- >5m or >3X child’s hight. MVC- same as adults + unrestrained infant in MVC. Assault- with blunt object. Pedestrian- child struck by car. Other vehicle- fall from vehicle struck by car. Buttered child. B Simon et al. Pediatric minor head trauma: indication for computed tomographic scanning revisited. The journal of TRAUMA Injury, Infection, and Critical Care. 2001;51(2):

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Low predictors for occult ICI: –Short LOC. –Short generalized seizure. –Vomiting.

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma

Risk for occult ICI (PE): –Focal or abnormal neurological signs. –Multiple injuries. –Scalp hematoma (except frontal). –Signs of skull #. –Craniofacial ST injury.

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Who can we send home relatively safe? –>5 y of age: same as adults. –2 - 5 y old: If they meet low risk criteria: Provided that the child was evaluated by a qualified physician. –<2 y of age: Should we send them home?

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma How can the risk be reduced? –Admission. –Observation. –Imaging: Scalp radiography. Head CT scan. MRI.

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Imaging: –MRI: + very good modality for ICI. - requires sedation or anesthesia. - time consuming. - not available.

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Skull radiography: + sensitive for fractures in the very young. + low radiation dose. + available. - Difficult to interpret (interpreter dependent). -Hardly ever result in change of management.

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma Than what shall we do?

Pediatric MHT* *Minor Head Trauma

Some unanswered questions: –Well then, who should be in charge? –Admission for observation v/s the concept of the golden hour. –The consequence of occult ICI. And a few more!

חבלת ראש קלה מה היא? מנגנון מצב הכרה סימנים נוירולוגיים סימני פגיעה חיצוניים פציעות או פגיעות נוספות גיל GCS 13-15

מה החשיבות? את מי ניתן לשחרר הביתה. מי לא זקוק להדמיה. Low risk criteria לא להחמיץ ICI!!!

החשש!! פגיעות תוך גולגולתיות סמויות (Occult intra cranial injuries). פגיעות סמויות נדירות מאוד מעל גיל שנה (למעשה כמעט לא קיימות בילדים או במבוגרים). כמעט רק בתינוקות מתחת לגיל שנה. כמעט תמיד מלווות בשבר בגולגולת. בדרך כלל ללא התדרדרות נוירולוגית או צורך בהתערבות. אין להסתמך על העדר סימנים קליניים בתינוקות מתחת לגיל שנה לשלילת ICI.

החשש!! העדר סימנים נוירולוגיים אינו שולל פגיעה תוך גולגולתית סמויה: –במידה וקיים מנגנון היפגעות בסיכון גבוה קיים סיכון יתר ל ICI גם בהעדר סימנים קליניים: נפילה מגוב מעל 5 מטר או פי 3 מגובה הילד. תקיפה ע"י חפץ כהה. התנגשות בין מכוניות (כמו במבוגרים – התנגשות חזיתית במהירות העולה על 50 קמ"ש) או ילד לא חגור בתאונת מכוניות. הולך רגל – ילד נפגע ע"י מכונית. רוכב אופניים – נפגע ממכונית נוסעת. נפל מרכב ונפגע ממכונית.
