Abstract

Most children are treated at general Emergency Departments (EDs) and not specialized pediatric EDs. Therefore, it is crucial for emergency medicine physicians to be aware of recent developments in pediatric emergency medicine. Often impactful articles on pediatric emergency medicine are not published in the journals regularly studied by general emergency medicine physicians. We selected ten studies that we found impactful, robust, and relevant for practicing general emergency physicians. This review includes studies of status epilepticus, cardiac arrest, asthma, infant fever, wound care, rapid sequence intubation, coronavirus, and trauma.
