The Pediatric Pharmacy Association (PPA) strongly urges health care institutions to establish and support the pharmacist's role in pediatric emergency department (ED) settings. Adult patient-centric guidelines have firmly established the general role of the pharmacist and pharmacy services in emergency medicine; however, pediatric pharmacy presence is often considered in case-based scenarios, such as pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation events. PPA recommends supporting the pharmacist's role in all pediatric ED settings and scenarios including, but not limited to, participation in direct patient care activities, education, safety, improvement initiatives, and transitions of care. Further, PPA advocates for the provision of appropriate training, credentialing, and ongoing mentorship and competency in these areas.
儿科药学协会（PPA）强烈敦促医疗机构确立并支持药剂师在儿科急诊科（ED）环境中的角色。以成年患者为中心的指南已明确确立了药剂师及药学服务在急诊医学中的一般角色；然而，儿科药学服务通常仅在基于病例的情况下才会被考虑，例如儿科心肺复苏事件。PPA建议在所有儿科ED环境和情形中支持药剂师的角色，包括但不限于参与直接的患者护理活动、教育、安全、改进措施以及护理转接。此外，PPA主张在这些领域提供适当的培训、资质认证以及持续的指导和能力培养。
