Just-in-Time Basic Clinical Guidance for Pediatric Respiratory Illness

This document addresses a unique educational need for physicians caring for pediatric patients in receiving center emergency departments. There are multiple facilities with limited pediatric capabilities that care for children as they await transfer or the opening of more high-level pediatric beds. This document's purpose is to provide basic clinical guidance for respiratory care for children to help in these circumstances. It is expected that this is most valuable as a “just in time” reference for providers with limited pediatric experience. It is not intended in scope to be a pediatric intensive care manual for respiratory illness, but rather the management of patients as they await transfer to a higher level or improvement in their clinical condition.
