The delivery of emergency care to infants
and children remains both a challenge and a
privilege. It can be one of the most humbling
yet rewarding experiences for the emergency
health care provider. This text was developed
to assist our colleagues in the evaluation and
treatment of children of a young age. The gen-
esis of this text arose from both clinical expe-
rience and an obvious need within the practice
of emergency medicine for a greater emphasis
to be placed on these high risk infants. At such
young developmental and chronological ages,
these patients present with a miriad of undif-
ferentiated complaints. Their histories may be
short but the complexity of their problems
may indeed be quite complex. The goal of this
text is to guide the provider in a systematic
approach to any and all problems within this
fragile population.
The text is divided into sections based
on organ systems. There will be much cross-
over within each section, only highlighting the
commonalty of complaint that can result from
a multitude of disparate medical problems. We
are hopeful that our readers find it to be a
useful tool in addressing the needs of the very
young infant.
