Description: 

Early recognition of Non-Accidental Trauma (NAT) is essential to improving outcomes for vulnerable pediatric patients. This webinar will review evidence-based definitions of physical child abuse, highlight the clinical and radiologic features of Abusive Head Trauma (AHT), demonstrate the use of the TEN-4-FACESp screening tool to identify sentinel injuries, and discuss the components of a comprehensive NAT evaluation, including laboratory testing, imaging, and multidisciplinary consultation. Participants will gain practical strategies to improve diagnostic accuracy, documentation, and the timely management of suspected child abuse.

Objectives: 

• Establish clear, evidence-based definitions for physical child abuse to ensure standardized reporting and documentation.
• Identify the key radiological and clinical indicators associated with Abusive Head Trauma (AHT).
• Use the TEN-4-FACESp screening tool to identify sentinel injuries in pediatric acute care settings.
• Navigate the components of a standard Non-Accidental Trauma (NAT) evaluation, including laboratory testing, imaging, and specialist consultations
