Division of Pediatric Surgery, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA; Department of Surgery, Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA. Electronic address:
Background: Firearm injuries are now the third leading cause of death in children. Understanding the circumstances surrounding pediatric firearm injuries will allow for targeted injury prevention efforts. We hypothesized that younger children are more likely to be victims of unintentional firearm injury.

Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California; Division of Pediatric Surgery, Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Electronic address:
Background/purpose: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) results in significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric trauma victims. The objective of this study was to determine risk factors and outcomes specifically related to pediatric trauma-associated ARDS (PT-ARDS).
Methods: A retrospective cohort (2007-2014) of children ≤18 years old from the American College of Surgeons National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) was used to analyze incidence, risk factors, and outcomes related to PT-ARDS.

Department of Surgery, Children's Hospital Los Angeles and USC Keck School of Medicine, Los Angeles, CA, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Simulation-based training (SBT) for pediatric trauma resuscitation can improve team performance. The purpose of this study was to describe the nationwide trend in SBT use and barriers to SBT implementation.
Methods: Trauma centers that participated in ACS TQIP Pediatric in 2016 (N = 125) were surveyed about SBT use.
Self-assessment of team performance using T-NOTECHS in simulated pediatric trauma resuscitation is not consistent with expert assessment.

Electronic address:
Background: The Trauma NOn-TECHnical Skills (T-NOTECHS) tool has been used to assess teamwork in trauma resuscitation, but its reliability and validity for self-assessment is unknown. Our purpose was to determine the reliability and validity of self-administered T-NOTECHS in pediatric trauma resuscitation.
Methods: Simulated in situ resuscitations were evaluated using T-NOTECHS in real time by experts and immediately afterwards by team members.
Timing of mortality in pediatric trauma patients: A National Trauma Data Bank analysis.

Background/purpose: The classic "trimodal" distribution of death has been described in adult patients, but the timing of mortality in injured children is not well understood. The purpose of this study was to define the temporal distribution of mortality in pediatric trauma patients.
Methods: A retrospective cohort of patients with mortality from the National Trauma Data Bank (2007-2014) was analyzed.
Qualitative assessment of simulation-based training for pediatric trauma resuscitation.

Electronic address:
Background: Effective teamwork is critical in the trauma bay, although there is a lack of consensus related to optimal training for these skills. We implemented in situ trauma simulations with debriefing as a possible training methodology to improve team-oriented skills.
Methods: Focus groups were conducted with multidisciplinary clinicians who respond to trauma activations.
