Abstract
Treatment of adolescents in adult level I trauma centers is challenging. Trauma centers should adopt strategies that could potentially decrease unnecessary utilization, especially among adolescents. To do this, these facilities should be familiar with patient-related and system-related characteristics that might influence overutilization. Furthermore, physicians in adult trauma centers should be reeducated with regard to potential hazardous consequences of CT for adolescents.
