The factors of integral importance to run any pediatric emergency department efficiently are the ability to process a high volume of patients quickly and a sensitive triage system that identifies the sickest children. Achieving these aims in a low- to middle-income country setting is more complex as a result of scarce resources and data on which to base systems. In this article, we discuss existing models of streamlining pediatric emergency department services that are most applicable to resource-limited countries, and present suggestions for streamlining pediatric emergency care in such countries.
高效运营任何儿科急诊科的至关重要因素包括快速处理大量患者的能力以及识别病情最严重儿童的敏感分诊系统。由于资源稀缺以及缺乏可用于建立系统的数据，在低收入和中等收入国家实现这些目标更为复杂。在本文中，我们讨论了最适用于资源有限国家的简化儿科急诊科服务的现有模式，并提出了在这些国家简化儿科急诊护理的建议。
