Strangulation in the Pediatric Population

Our friend Kim Nash is doing a webinar for the Family Justice Center Alliance on strangulation in the pediatric population. The session will be held July 10th from 10-11:30am PT. Click through for details:

From the announcement:

Evaluation of strangulation in the pediatric population is often overlooked and under assessed.  This webinar will discuss strangulation in the living pediatric patient.  A brief review of strangulation will be provided with a focus on discussing the differences in pediatric anatomy verses adult anatomy that may impact strangulation in a child.  Case studies of pediatric strangulation patients who presented to a forensic nurse examiner program will be utilized. Presenting signs and symptoms, patient and caregiver histories, clinical evaluation and case outcome (when known) will be included.
