Adult patients often present to the pediatric emergency department (ED) for treatment of a wide variety of diseases. However, pediatric emergency medicine physicians are primarily trained to provide specialized care for children. Studies have shown that the number of adult patients presenting to pediatric EDs has increased significantly since the introduction of the Emergency Medicine Transfer and Active Labor Act in 1986. This article discusses the management of common adult complaints presenting to the pediatric ED. The focus is on stabilization in the pediatric ED and safe transfer to a more appropriate facility.
成年患者常常前往儿科急诊科(ED)治疗各种各样的疾病。然而,儿科急诊医学医生主要接受的是为儿童提供专科护理的培训。研究表明,自1986年《急诊医学转运与活跃分娩法案》出台以来,前往儿科急诊科的成年患者数量显著增加。本文讨论了儿科急诊科常见成年患者主诉的管理。重点是在儿科急诊科进行病情稳定处理,并安全转运至更合适的医疗机构。
