Pediatric trauma is the leading cause of death among children and adolescents. Unique variations in pediatric trauma patients require different approaches for pediatric patients than for adult patients. Early recognition of the subtle presentation of hemorrhagic shock is critical to initiate adequate resuscitation. The early use of blood transfusions is indicated for those nonresponsive to crystalloid boluses. Standard of care targets a goal of balanced administration of packed red blood cells (PRBC), fresh frozen plasma (FFP), and platelets (PLT): 1PRBC:1FFP:1PLT. Thromboelastography (TEG) and tranexamic acid (TXA) may have a role in the management of children in hemorrhagic shock.
