Pediatric emergency care is for babies, children, and adolescents in immediate need of medical intervention, priority care, and careful monitoring by a medical professional.
The Village Emergency Centers coordinates emergency care with their skilled team of doctors and specialists. They use special treatments and techniques designed for pediatrics and are highly experienced in treating babies and newborns.
Since children are smaller and still growing, specialized pediatric care in an emergency situation is crucial.
Pediatric critical care specialists have additional training in pediatric emergencies and treating children from birth through adolescence. They typically provide an array of services for emergency situations, including:
Placing special catheters in blood vessels
Supervision of children on respirators and breathing machines
Diagnosis of children with an unstable, life-threatening condition
Thorough monitoring and observation before, during, and after treatment
Children can’t always articulate what’s concerning or hurting them, or answer a medical question. The pediatric specialists at Village Emergency Centers know how to best communicate with and understand children and their medical needs, using compassion, specialized treatment methods, and medical equipment specially designed for children.
