This chapter covers managing the acutely ill or injured child. It starts with taking a history from a child, and ways of communicating with the child. Direct questions to ask from carers are also listed. The assessment of children is detailed, and recognition of <C>ABC problems is covered, alongside the management of ABC emergencies. Paediatric emergencies and their treatment are explained, and life support of children is included. Trauma in children (the leading cause of death in children over 1 year of age) and management, consent, analgesia, and child abuse and neglect are all contained in this chapter. Finally, paediatric drug doses are tabulated.
