Results: Transfer in non medicalised ambulance in 30,8%, medicalized in 13,8%, passenger car in a 53,8% or even walking at 1,5%. Those who were taken by ambulances to a 38,5% had no intravenous and 77,6% did not bring a cervical collar. Of the car moved, 6,4% came with ITP <8 (Pediatric Trauma Index). In car accidents, children had no restraint in 62.5%, and the motorcycle, 30% not wearing a helmet. Most affected systems, highlights the locomotor 61,5% and the craniofacial area with 58%.
