About

This toolkit provides guidance on how to use a checklist during pediatric trauma resuscitation, helping medical teams follow important steps and reduce errors. The checklist covers tasks before the patient arrives, during primary and secondary surveys, and when preparing for departure. It explains that even experienced teams make mistakes, but checklists improve care by making sure nothing is missed. The guide also gives tips on creating, using, and adapting the checklist for different hospitals to fit their needs while keeping children safer during emergencies.
