Paediatric Emergency Medicine: Advances in Assessment, Resuscitation, and Critical Care

This chapter addresses the distinct physiological and pharmacological considerations that govern emergency management in the paediatric population, with particular focus on recent advances in sepsis recognition and fluid resuscitation, management of respiratory failure including non-invasive ventilation strategies, updated status epilepticus and anaphylaxis treatment protocols, and paediatric trauma care. It also reviews the application of paediatric early warning scoring systems and simulation-based training as tools for improving outcomes in acutely ill children.
