Abdominal and thoracic trauma is tough because of hidden injuries. We use advanced tests to see the damage quickly. This helps us decide how to treat it.

Key considerations include:

  1. Rapid assessment and stabilization of the patient
  2. Identification of internal injuries requiring surgical intervention
  3. Multidisciplinary care to address associated injuries or complications

Burns and Soft Tissue Injuries

Burns and soft tissue injuries need special care. We focus on healing, reducing scars, and preventing infections. Our approach includes wound care, pain management, and support to help kids heal.

Effective management involves: thorough wound cleaning and dressing, pain management, and follow-up care to monitor healing and address any complications.
