ABSTRACT
Because the timely treatment of children in accidents or with serious illnesses usually is successful, it is vital that the life-threatening problem promptly be recognized. Although the principles of resuscitation are identical in the child and adult, age-related differences in anatomy and pathophysiology may make this task challenging for the physician who usually cares for adults. In this article, a systematic approach to evaluation and initial stabilization of the pediatric patient is discussed. Decisions and methods in safely transferring a critically ill pediatric patient are also reviewed.
