Paediatric Emergencies: Introduction
NDoH STG Paeds 2023
Certain emergencies are dealt with in the chapters on respiratory, cardiac and nervous system. This section deals only with the approach to the severely ill child and selected conditions (cardiorespiratory arrest, anaphylaxis, shock, foreign body inhalation and burns). All doctors should ensure that they can provide basic (and preferably advanced) life support to children.
The most experienced clinician present should take control of the resuscitation.
