Variation in Emergency Department Experience With Pediatric Critical Illness
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to investigate the variation in emergency department (ED) encounters for pediatric critical illness and assess the geographic proximity of low-volume EDs to high-volume EDs. Their study found that a small percentage of pediatric ED visits involved critical illness, with many low-volume EDs infrequently managing such cases, suggesting that direct transport to high-volume centers may not be a feasible strategy for improving access to quality emergency care for critically ill children.
