Comparing Practice Patterns Between Pediatric and General Emergency Medicine Physicians A Scoping Review

摘要

Objective: Acutely ill infants and children presenting to the emergency department are treated by either physicians with pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) training or physicians without PEM training, a good proportion of which are general emergency medicine-trained physicians (GEDPs). This scoping review identified published literature comparing the care provided to infants and children (<= 21 years of age) by PEM-trained physicians to that provided by GEDPs.
