AbstractEmergently ill or injured children may access care through their primary care provider, through prehospital emergency medical services, or directly in a hospital emergency unit. Primary health care providers and emergency care providers need to have the skills, proper equipment, and medications available to care for these children. This paper reviews recent articles on the prevention, evaluation, treatment, and outcomes of illness and injury in children, which should be of interest to primary and emergency care givers. Areas of recent research include the epidemiology, prevention, and evaluation of childhood injuries and the evaluation of infants and children with fever. Other areas reviewed are respiratory disease and the treatment of gastroenteritis. Also reviewed are articles on the role of the primary care physician in emergency medical services for children.
