Systematic Approach to Pediatric Emergencies

Stay Calm, Think Systematically

Facing pediatric emergencies can be stressful, but following a step-by-step approach makes it manageable.

The Steps

  • Assess the scene for safety
  • Perform primary (ABCDE) assessment
  • Start life-saving interventions right away
  • Reassess and move to secondary assessment
  • Document everything

By sticking to this method, you won’t miss important clues or steps—plus, it helps teams work together smoothly.

Examples

  • A team leader uses the ABCDE approach to guide everyone during a resuscitation.

  • A nurse documents all actions and findings to help with team communication.
