Pediatric medical traumatic stress
“A set of psychological and physiological responses of children and their families to pain, injury, serious illness, medical procedures and invasive or frightening treatment experiences.”

Post traumatic Stress
• Most undiagnosed and untreated• Unable to maintain pre-injury coping levels
– Severity of trauma not predictive of PTSD
• Risk factors
