Study Notes

Pediatric Trauma Transport Guidelines

Pediatric trauma patients are classified under two categories for transport decisions: RED (Category 1) and BLUE (Category 2).
Patients meeting any one of the RED criteria must be transported to the nearest State Approved Pediatric Trauma Center.
Patients meeting any two parameters in the BLUE criteria also require transport to a Pediatric Trauma Center.
These criteria specifically apply to individuals under 16 years of age.

Category 1 (RED Criteria)

Meeting any single parameter in this category is sufficient for transport requirements.
Criteria entail significant anatomical or physiological concerns, emphasizing the need for specialized pediatric care.

Category 2 (BLUE Criteria)

Requires that two parameters must be met in this category for transport decisions.
Blue criteria likely include additional factors that consider the severity of the trauma and the patient’s clinical condition.
