PDTree: A Tool for Prehospital Pediatric Destination Choice
Access Resources
About
This one-page tool helps decide where to take sick or injured children before they reach the hospital. A flowchart shows how to choose between nearby emergency rooms, specialty centers, and trauma centers based on the child's condition. The tool lists normal vital signs for different ages and provides guidelines for special cases like cardiac arrest or serious injuries. It also considers if a child should be taken to their regular medical facility if they have known conditions. The goal is to ensure children get the right care quickly by following specific protocols and considering transportation options like aviation when needed.
