Abstract

There is a substantial body of evidence supporting the importance of the intensivist, and the importance of active involvement of the intensivist in day-to-day management of patients, although there are much fewer data for pediatric trauma. Postoperative management of the pediatric trauma patient is complex and includes many nonsurgical areas of expertise, such as management of respiratory and renal failure, nutritional support, metabolic support, prevention and management of infection, and sepsis. Collaborative multidisciplinary care of these children should include the active and officially acknowledged involvement of pediatric intensivists side by side with their surgical colleagues.
