Abstract
Out of hospital pediatric emergencies occur rarely but are challenging for medical personnel. The particular characteristics of pediatric cases, especially the unaccustomed anatomy of the child as well as the necessity to adapt the drug doses to the small patient's body weight, lead to high cognitive and emotional tasks for the emergency physician. In an emergency situation standardized algorithms can facilitate a structured diagnostic and treatment approach. The aim of this article is to provide standardized procedures for the most frequent pediatric emergencies. In Germany, respiratory problems, seizures and analgesia due to trauma or scalding represent the most common emergency responses. This article provides a practical approach concerning the diagnostics and treatment for these emergency situations involving children.
