Ten new paediatric emergency medicine commandments

Abstract

Aim: We suggest the top ten tips that any clinician working in a pediatric emergency department should always keep in mind.

Methods: A literature review was conducted using, as a starting point, the previously published Ten Commandments for Emergency Medicine, Pediatric Emergency Medicine, and Perinatal Medicine.

Results and conclusion: A standard curriculum for pediatric emergency physicians is lacking. These ten commandments should be considered as advice for physicians who practice this profession every day and not as unbreakable rules established from above.
