Australia s and New Zealand s first set of clinical guidelines for children s head injuries has been created by a network of specialists based at the Murdoch Children s Research Institute (MCRI).
The guidelines, developed by the Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative (PREDICT) and published in
Emergency Medicine Australasia, will allow emergency department clinicians to best diagnose and treat children s head injuries while reducing unnecessary exposure to radiation from CT scans. They also address head injuries in children with underlying problems, such as a bleeding disorder.
