Abstract: | A pediatric focus in the emergency department requires an understanding of age-specific parameters of assessment and management. Differential considerations are unique in the pediatric patient reflecting both congenital and acquired conditions. Respiratory problems, meningitis, seizures, and child abuse require careful assessment and aggressive intervention. When approaching the ill child, attention must be directed toward reducing anxiety and pain in the patient. |
