Discussion - PECARN


Discussed PECARN pediatric head trauma algorithm with the patient’s [mother/father/parents] to identify children with head injury at very low risk for clinically significant head injury.  Discussed that by applying this clinical decision rule, the patient has a risk of clinically important traumatic brain injury (ciTBI) of [<0.02/0.9/##]%.  Discussed risks and benefits of observation and CT studies with recommendation for [observation/CT of the head] at this time based on [very low/increased] risk of ciTBI.

Patient’s [mother/father/parents] demonstrated understanding of risks, benefits, and alternatives, and agreement with plan for [observation/CT] at this time.
