Pediatric Trauma

RENAL INJURY
2/3 of children may have a normal urinalysis even after sustaining Grade II or higher renal injuries. (1,5,6,7,8) Hemodynamic instability and the absence of hematuria are unreliable markers of the absence of renal injury in children. Mandatory radiographic evaluation for renal trauma includes the presence of gross hematuria, microscopic hematuria (>50 RBC/hpf after blunt trauma or > 5 RBC/hpf after penetrating trauma) with shock, a significant deceleration injury (fall or motor vehicle accident), trauma resulting in physical signs concerning for renal injury (including flank ecchymosis and rib injury) and/other mechanism of injury concerning for renal trauma. (1,2,3,6) Microscopic hematuria alone after a blunt trauma is not an indication for imaging in children.  IVP performed by injecting 2 ml/kg of contrast followed by an abdominal x-ray taken 10-15 minutes later. Hypertension 30 days after a renal injury may be caused by arteriovenous fistula, pseudoaneurysm or perinephric scarring. (4,7)

URETHRAL INJURIES
Circumcision urthral injuries should be repaired in the operating room with fine absorbable sutures to prevent meatal stenosis or contraction. Postoperative urinary drainage is often not necessary, and the wound can be managed with topical antibiotic ointment. Female urethral patients (who are stable) should undergo immediate urethroplasty with realignment of the urethra, repair of the bladder neck injury and vaginal laceration, as well as a diverting colostomy if a rectal injury is identified. (1)

BLADDER INJURIES
For cystogram imaging, the amount of contrast instilled into a child, should be at least one-half of the estimated bladder capacity calculated for the child's age [(age + 2) x 30 ml)]. Absolute indications for bladder imaging after a blunt abdominal injury are (1) the presence of gross hematuria coexisting with a pelvic fracture and (2) inability to void. Relative indications for bladder imaging after blunt trauma include urinary clot retention, perineal hematoma and a history of prior bladder augmentation. Because of the nature of the immature pelvis in children, any blunt trauma with a fracture of the pubic rami, especially when associated with diastasis of the pubic symphysis, requires complete radiographic evaluation.
