Scholarly Review of Case Study: "Recovery of a 16-Year-Old Girl from Trauma and Burns after a Car Accident"

In this project, we conducted a review of a case study from the New England Journal of Medicine as part of the 2020 Virtual Pediatric Research Program. The case details the medical management of a 16-year-old female who suffered both severe, full-thickness burns and a traumatic brain injury resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Our presentation aims to highlight important aspects of her care, which ultimately resulted in a positive outcome. We also discuss some of the nuances and challenges involved in caring for a patient with multi-system injuries. Lastly, we hope that our project can be an example of how students can engage in scholarly activities virtually and benefit from the analysis of case studies.
