Observational analysis examines medication trends and effects on in-hospital mortality in pediatric sTBI.

Continuous opioid and benzodiazepine infusions were commonly used in pediatric severe traumatic brain injury management.
Morphine infusion was associated with higher survival rates, unlike some other sedation strategies.
Data from 929 patients revealed 14% in-hospital mortality, with notable trends in medication use over a week.
Further studies are needed to identify the optimal strategies for analgesia, sedation, and neuromuscular blockade in this population.

Laws et al. (2025) studied this question.
