Nurses are integral part of healthcare delivery system and it is very important that they need a clear
understanding of the nature of Paediatric trauma care in saving the life of the patients. However in
the reality of day to day health care administration issues errors can and do run rampant. Although
this should never give an excuse to provide substandard care. Educational material likes mainly
helps the nurses to boost their knowledge. SIM on Paediatric trauma care helps the nurses to gain
more knowledge regarding action, dose, indication, Contra-indication, and nurses responsibility.
Pediatric injury management should include an integrated public health approach from prevention
through prehospital care, to emergency and acute hospital care, to rehabilitation and long-term
follow–up, as indicated, for stress reactions associated with the injury.
