Special considerations for pediatric triage in the emergency department.
Nursing Clinics of North America 2002 March
Pediatric emergencies are a common problem resulting in approximately 12.5 million visits to the emergency department yearly. The triage of ill or injured children involves the same processes as that of an adult. The needs of children in emergency situations however, are different and require special attention.
