Advocacy for Emergency Medical Services for Children: Education, Practice, and Policy Implications
Advocacy for maintaining and expanding Emergency Medical Services for Children is needed on many fronts. Pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians are uniquely qualified to serve this role due to their expertise in the acute care of sick or injured pediatric patients. Given this, in addition to maintaining the highest standards in the emergency departments in which they work, PEM physicians also have responsibilities in the education, training, and practice of emergency medical services providers in their region. These providers are also well positioned to advocate for Emergency Medical Services for Children on a polic...

Pediatric Emergency Medical Services Research
Currently, there is a limited evidence base in prehospital care, especially so in pediatric prehospital care. This is, in part, due to the many obstacles in conducting clinical trials in the prehospital setting requiring added resources and funding to accomplish. The Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network and other organizations have only recently started to encourage the formation of systems to support prehospital research including practical state and national data registries.

The Prehospital Care of Children With Special Health Care Needs
This article discusses the key factors involved in the prehospital care of these children including the use of registries to identify these patients in the community, the use of caregivers and emergency information forms as resources, and the existence of specialized training programs to educate prehospital providers about the special care needs of this population. Additional discussion includes the importance of medical homes for these children and special considerations regarding their transport. Finally, we will discuss the issues that arise in this community during a disaster and show how all the previously discussed a...

A National Effort Requiring Local Solutions: Regionalization of Pediatric Emergency Care
Regionalization of pediatric emergency care is a necessary and enormous task assigned to Emergency Medical Services for Children. One of the founders of medical regionalization, perinatology, has experienced difficulties over the past decade maintaining the structure and systems that had so dramatically improved patient care. Pediatric trauma regionalization, as a component of pediatric emergency care as well as adult trauma care, is foreseeing similar degradation of their system if key issues are not addressed soon. Pediatric emergency care, under the leadership of Emergency Medical Services for Children, is seeking to bu...

New Technologies in Emergency Medical Services for Children
Innovations in communications technology, computer systems and software, and medical as well as nonmedical devices occur rapidly, and it may be difficult for clinical practice modifications to keep pace. The goals of this review are to discuss emerging technologies in emergency medical services (EMS) and to highlight studies and resources supported by the EMS for Children program. We will describe applications of new technology in the areas of EMS processes, telemedicine, patient monitoring and treatment, disaster management, and provider education.

Pediatric Prehospital Seizure Management
Seizures are a common cause for activation of emergency medical services for pediatric patients, so utilization of best practices for the management of seizures is essential. Though similar in efficacy, midazolam and diazepam may be advantageous in comparison to lorazepam in the prehospital setting due to their longer shelf life. Obtaining vascular access may delay time to administration of treatment, so intranasal, intramuscular, or buccal routes should be used. Rectal medications are least preferred due to prolonged time to seizure cessation and more adverse effects. Though hypoglycemia is an infrequent cause of pediatri...

Pediatric Prehospital Pain Management: Impact of Advocacy and Research
Painful conditions are a common cause for emergency medical services transport. Adequate and appropriate treatment for pain in the prehospital setting is considered an essential part of care. Despite this, several studies have identified that pain in the prehospital setting is often undertreated with even greater disparities in the pediatric population. As a result, several organizations have written policy statements surrounding this issue advocating for better treatment of pain and further research into barriers and disparities in care. The aim of this article is to review the current state of prehospital pain management...
