4 1. Introduction/purpose of the policy Following the national introduction of Regional Trauma Networks, Major Trauma Centres (MTC s) are required to automatically accept patients requiring treatment for major trauma injuries. The purpose of this policy is to provide direction and guidance for actions for key individuals and organisations within the Severn and Peninsula Trauma Networks to improve the paediatric patient pathway and subsequent quality of care. 2. The policy The aim of this policy is to prevent unnecessary delays or incidents during the transfer of patients from the Trauma Units and Major Trauma Centres within the Severn and Peninsula Trauma Networks to the Bristol Paediatric Major Trauma Centre (PMTC) based at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children (University Hospitals Bristol Foundation Trust) from May 2014 and acceptance of said patients by that Trauma Centre. This will be done by ensuring that automatic acceptance of all appropriate patients occurs and that rapid consultation for secondary and tertiary patients requiring transfer occurs through a single call to the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader (PTTL) at the Paediatric Trauma Centre Tel The aim of the trauma networks is to deliver all appropriate paediatric major trauma patients to a specialist paediatric MTC which has all the services available to receive and manage these seriously injured children. Those children who present to a Trauma Unit (TU) or adult MTC with serious injury which exceeds the resources and capability of that service will be rapidly transferred to a Paediatric Major Trauma Centre as soon as they are clinically safe for transfer. The Severn and Peninsula Trauma Networks have agreed that, for the purposes of major Trauma, a child shall be defined as a person under their 16 th birthday. There may however be some cases whereby a patient between the ages of 16 and 18 may not be suitable for care at an adult MTC. In these situations a discussion should be held with the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader as to where the most appropriate place will be for that patient to receive their definitive trauma care. This discussion must be in the best interests of the child and must NOT delay transfer for definitive care. All ISS 15+ cases not transferred, must be audited. As a PMTC has all the facilities and specialties required to be able to treat all children with any type of injury and in any combination, all children who have a potential Injury Severity Score (ISS) of greater than 15 should be considered for transfer to a PMTC. It may also be appropriate, in certain circumstances, for children with a potential ISS of 9 15 to be considered for transfer to a PMTC as well. A TU or adult MTC should only look after those children with mild - moderate or non-life threatening injuries (Locally Treatable Pathology see Appendix 3). These will include patients with injuries including simple fractures of one limb, mild or moderate abdominal injuries and minor head injuries. ISS is assigned retrospectively and will not be known at the time of presentation to ED, therefore decisions about secondary transfer will have to be made on the basis of presumed severity of injury which in turn is based on the information known at that time.
5 3. Application: To Whom This Policy Applies This policy will relate to all children, from the Trauma Units and adult Major Trauma Centres, within the Severn and Peninsula Trauma Network areas, during the acute phase of their injury(ies). It does NOT apply to patients for whom specialist ADVICE from the tertiary services at the PMTC is required, but where admission is not being requested. It also does NOT apply to patients who are being transferred as tertiary referrals, direct to the speciality, outwith the initial 24 hour period. This policy will apply only to primary and secondary transfers from TU to MTC. This policy applies to referring Trauma Units, adult Major Trauma Centres and the Paediatric Major Trauma Centre. It is the responsibility of all MTC s and TU s within the Severn and Peninsula Trauma Networks to ensure that this policy is adhered to by all personnel. The policy will primarily be implemented by personnel in the Emergency Department (ED), Intensive Care/ High Dependency Units (ICU/HDU) and Specialist Wards. However all personnel within the referring Trust are also expected to adhere to it. The final responsibility for the implementation of this policy lies either with the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader for those patients who trigger a trauma team activation, the ED or admitting consultant for patients who are subsequently identified as having serious injuries. Departure from the policy will have to be justified to the appropriate Trauma Network governance group and be subject to possible external review. 4. Identification of Children Who Require Urgent Secondary Transfer Initial resuscitation for patients with catastrophic haemorrhage and/or unsecured airways will take place at the TU or adult MTC. If damage control surgery is required prior to arrival at the PMTC then this must be done in liaison with the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader at the PMTC. If a child requires damage control surgery prior to transfer to the PMTC than it is appropriate to request that the Bristol PICU Retrieval Team undertake the transfer following the damage control surgery as per national recommendations. All requests for the PICU Retrieval Team are to go via the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader Tel If there are serious injuries with a clear indication for transfer to the PMTC, especially, for example; a traumatic brain injury (TBI) meeting paediatric automatic TBI acceptance criteria, then an immediate transfer to the PMTC should be undertaken. Network transfer policies should be activated and the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader should be informed. If, within the Peninsula Trauma Network region, a child with Cardiothoracic or Neurological injuries is considered too unstable for transfer or unlikely to survive a transfer without prior treatment, the respective surgical teams have agreed that in those circumstances they will undertake life-saving surgery, in liaison with their respective colleagues at the PMTC, at the adult Major Trauma Centre at Derriford Hospital prior to transfer. When considering a Time-Critical Transfer from the Peninsula Trauma Network, it is imperative that the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader takes the transfer time from the particular hospital into account. This applies particularly to Derriford Hospital and the Royal
6 Cornwall Hospital (who can stop at Derriford for DCS Surgery not available locally). Please see Appendix 4 for travel times from the Severn and Peninsula Hospitals to BRCH. For all other isolated brain injuries, that do not meet automatic acceptance criteria, the referring hospital should contact the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader who will discuss the case with the on-call consultant neurosurgeon and decide whether there is an indication for transfer to the PMTC. Some of these patients will have a potential ISS 16, or ISS 9-15 but the decision to transfer to the PMTC rests with the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader at the PMTC. All paediatric patients with serious or major trauma (whether isolated or poly-trauma) should be considered for referral to the PMTC. The PMTC is able to care for patients that require: Neurosurgery Cardiothoracic Surgery Burns care Plastic Surgery Paediatric Surgery Vascular Surgery General Surgery Hepatobiliary Surgery Orthopaedic Surgery General Paediatric care Trauma / neurosurgical / burns HDU PICU. In all cases, where the management of a child with major trauma injuries is outside the capability of the MTC or TU, then the patient should be transferred to the PMTC. Automatic acceptance applies. Network transfer policies should be activated and the PMTC Paediatric Trauma Team Leader should be informed. Patients who have a moderate injury with an ISS suspected to be 9-15 or less with potentially locally treatable pathology might appropriately be treated at a TU or MTC +/- advice from the PMTC. If the injuries are complex, or will require multi-specialty input their care should be discussed with the MTC and transfer arranged where clinically indicated. A low threshold for transfer should be adopted where it maybe in the patient s best interests to be managed in a PMTC, even if the pathology is locally treatable. Patients who have been identified as needing palliative care only, may not need to be transferred to the PMTC if the care required is within the capability of the MTC or TU. However this must only be considered after in-depth discussions with the PMTC, PICU and family. 5. Transfer Arrangements 5.1 All calls regarding primary and secondary transfers will be to the Paediatric Trauma Team Leader at the PMTC: Duty Trauma Consultant ED middle grade The telephone number 24/7 is
7 5.3 The transfer discussions and arrangements must be carried out at Trauma Team Leader to Paediatric Trauma Team Leader level. 5.4 The PMTC Paediatric Trauma Team Leader will inform the appropriate speciality, anaesthetic staff, theatre and PICU of an impending patient arrival. 5.5 Full patient details including name of referring Trauma Team Leader to be recorded in the trauma booklet which should accompany the patient to the receiving hospital. 5.6 All time-critical transfers must be transferred by the referring team. It is the responsibility of that transferring team to arrange both the transport and an appropriate escort for all transfers to the PMTC. It is imperative that both the transport and the escort be arranged as soon as the probable need for an acute or time critical transfer is identified. 5.7 All time-critical transfers must be transferred by the referring hospital who are responsible for notifying the Ambulance Service Coordination desk of the transfer and details of the patient. For patients who require a time critical secondary transfer to the PMTC the TU/MTC should phone 999 requesting an urgent/ emergency transfer and the call will be given the same priority as all 999 calls. (If ambulance control feel that a transfer from a TU or MTC to the PMTC does not fall within their contract, then they can be advised that this is a transfer to a higher level of care and as such does fall within their remit). 5.8 When transport is requested it is important that the trauma team leader assesses which method of transport is most suitable, bearing in mind such factors as travel time, location of the PMTC, loading and unloading time for air transfers, weather etc. 5.9 Once the patient has left the TU or MTC it is the responsibility of that TU/MTC to advise the PMTC that the patient has left and provide an ETA The transferring Paramedic crew will also give the PMTC an ATMIST approximately minutes (or when they reach the city boundary) prior to their arrival at the MTC On arrival at the PMTC, the child must be taken directly to the ED resuscitation room and trauma call procedures initiated. 6. Principles This policy applies: 24 hours a day 7 days a week 52 weeks a year. All transfer discussions must be undertaken by trauma team leader (or equivalent) to Duty Paediatric Trauma Lead. All relevant clinical information must be given to the receiving Trust.
8 When the transfer of the child is organised by the referring hospital, it is essential that they provide the necessary escort(s) and equipment, together with all necessary documentation (incl the Network trauma booklet/copy of the ED records, Critical Care Transfer form, and a copy of the SWAST PCR). This policy should be read in conjunction with the relevant Network policies: Peninsula and Severn: The Paediatric Automatic Acceptance policy The Paediatric TBI policy (under development) The Paediatric Burns Policy (under development) The Paediatric Critical Care Transfer Policy (under development)

11 Appendix 3 Definitions The following are a list of definitions for the two subheadings. These lists are not exhaustive and are meant as examples only. The final decision as to whether an injury is time-critical or not, will always remain with the Referring Trauma Team Leader and the Paediatric Duty Trauma Lead at the Paediatric MTC. Time-Critical Injuries* Extra-dural or sub-dural haemorrhage requiring evacuation Inta-thoracic or intra-abdominal injuries with signs of uncontrolled haemorrhage (not that DCS locally maybe required if transfer times maybe long) Suspected vascular injuries to limbs Locally Treatable Pathology** This will vary from TU to TU but may include: Multiple long bone fractures where paediatric orthopaedic surgeons and anaesthetist are available Spinal column injuries where paediatric spinal surgeons are available Maxillo-facial injuries in units used to dealing with children Isolated orthopaedic injuries It is expected that all significantly injured children will be discussed with the paediatric MTC and that decisions to treat locally will be agreed.
