Tiny Bodies, Big Differences: Why Your Pediatric Trauma Approach Matters with Professor Brenda Morrow
Manage episode 484965853 series 3639220
Physiotherapists often find treating pediatric trauma patients in intensive care challenging due to limited specialized training. Professor Brenda Morrow, an internationally renowned expert in pediatric physiotherapy, brings clarity to this complex subject, explaining why children are fundamentally different from adults in trauma care. Beyond the physiological aspects, Professor Morrow emphasizes the importance of child-centered care. Children are vulnerable, dependent on adults, and often don't understand what's happening to them during medical interventions. Including caregivers in treatment planning and incorporating play-based approaches significantly improves outcomes and emotional wellbeing. Join us to gain essential insights that will transform your approach to pediatric trauma care and ensure you provide the safest, most effective interventions for these vulnerable patients.
