UAB Campus

Date: April 22-24, 2022
Location: Birmingham. AL

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, conference planners made the decision to postpone the conference until April 22-24, 2022, with the hope that the pandemic has improved from a public health and travel perspective. Further updates and information will be available here.

The Pediatric Trauma Hemorrhagic Shock Treatment Guideline Consensus Conference is a conference designed to produce consensus statements on best practices and research priorities that include optimal methods of dissemination and implementation of high-quality pediatric data to allow for the efficient change of clinical practice when appropriate.

A panel of national and international experts representing trauma surgery, transfusion medicine, hematology, anesthesia, critical care, and emergency medicine will share their expertise and lead discussions to inform the consensus committee. Topics to be discussed include:

  • Epidemiology and outcomes
  • Biologic consequences of hemorrhagic shock
  • Laboratory identification of hemorrhagic shock
  • Transfusion strategies for both prehospital and in-hospital
  • Consequences of crystalloid and colloid resuscitation
  • Permissive hypotension, use of intravenous and mechanical hemostatic adjuncts
  • Developing structured multicenter data collection tools to facilitate research
  • Methods for consensus generation
