Abstract

As a relatively new field, there has been a recent explosion in evidence around the management of children in the emergency department (ED). This review highlights 10 articles published in the last year providing evidence that is germane to the care of children by emergency medicine (EM) physicians. There is a focus on high prevalence conditions, such as fever and trauma, as well as interventions that can improve mortality, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and massive transfusion.

Keywords: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation; Infant fever; Pediatric trauma; Sepsis; Suicide.
