The trauma team roles and the time targets are the same as in the adult section. In addition to the trauma team roles defined in the adult section, a paediatric trauma team should also include:

Paediatric StR

• Assists Doctor 2 in obtaining vascular or intra-osseous access
• Calculates initial drug and fluid boluses according to estimated weight (Section 5: additional information or use the paediatric emergency folder)
• Takes AMPLE history from parents if available
• Liaises with the trauma team leader at all times
• Considers safeguarding

→ Section 5.a

Trauma team roles

Surgical team involvement (paediatric surgical team where available):

Each hospital will have local guidelines for the surgical team involvement. If a patient has been deemed to require immediate resuscitative laparotomy on arrival, the trauma team leader should contact the on-call surgical consultant to request their attendance at the trauma call. The trauma network co-ordination service (NCS) should be contacted and relevant paediatric specialists can then be conferenced in for appropriate advice.
