Trauma Research and Education at Brenner Children's Hospital

Dr. John K. Petty explains how having a Level I Trauma Center at Brenner Children's Hospital contributes to better treatments in the future. http://www.brennerchildrens.org TRANSCRIPT: To become a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center is a very significant commitment, it's something that we've been working on for years. It's not something that you wake up and decide one day you want to do it and the next thing you know it happens. There are standards for every component of a child's care- for the emergency department, for the operating rooms, for the wards, for the persons who are there. There's definitely an inward focus about what happens in your hospital to take care of an injured child, and there's definitely an outward focus as well. Part of that outward focus are things like research and education- things that may not help the immediate child who's in your care, but may help thousands of children down the road. Part of our commitment to research has to do with the Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma- that's a group that shares the same commitment and really wants to see progress made in how we help children to survive terrible, life-threatening injuries, and how they can recover better, and how they can have better outcomes to enjoy for years down the road. So that's a growing part of what we do. They've been instrumental in helping us share that commitment and in the eyes of our reviewers, the American College of Surgeons, it was a very important component of our commitment that this place has made to help children to do well with that. There are only about 30 places in the country that have made this commitment, so we've really joined a very elite group and I think there's no better place in the country really to take a child who's injured than here because I really think we can do as good a job as anywhere else.
