Injuries are the most frequent causes of infant mortality in Europe. Correct management, especially in initial care, is crucial to reduce mortality and long-term complications. To establish a set of common criteria in trauma care, various working groups have been created, "Advanced Trauma Life Support" (ATLS) is one of the most important. It Consists on atraining program and clinical guidelines. In 2018, ATLS presented its 10th edition, where there is greater consideration for special populations such as children. However, in the section dedicated to pediatric spinal cord trauma, the reader continues to be referred to the treatment of adult spinal cord trauma. While we do know that children have a greater impact, of spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormalities (SCIWORA). This article aims to contextualize, in the pediatric patient, the measures proposed in the ATLS 10 ed. for the management of movement restriction of spinal cord trauma.
