Pediatric emergency care specializes in treating medical emergencies in infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric emergency physicians are specially trained to recognize and treat the unique medical needs of young patients, from newborns to teenagers, in a child-friendly environment that reduces anxiety.
The emergency rooms listed on ERNearMe.org that offer pediatric care maintain child-appropriate equipment sizes, pediatric dosing capabilities, and staff experienced in communicating with both anxious children and their parents.
