When should we screen for blunt thoracic aortic injury in children?

Pediatric trauma hits differently—both emotionally and clinically. In this Big T Trauma episode (2 of 2), Drs. Teddy Puzio, Charles Cox, and Tyler Simpson join Dr. Patrick Georgoff to break down real-world pediatric trauma cases. They explore how mechanism predicts injury, when imaging helps (and when it harms), and the nuances of recognizing non-accidental trauma. Packed with practical takeaways and memorable teaching points, this episode will sharpen your instincts for the next injured child you treat.
