Miss. Code. tit. 15, pt. 3, subpt. 1, ch. 7 - Pediatric Trauma Centers

The hospital resources for adult trauma centers are described in Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5. The traumatized pediatric patient has special requirements that go beyond the resources required for an adult trauma center.

An adult trauma center does not have to function at the same or similar levels but must function at some level of pediatric trauma care. The three levels of pediatric trauma care include: tertiary, secondary, and primary.
