Paediatric Emergencies Made Easy

An algorithm-based guide to the acutely ill child, from PHC to PICU

Recognise fast. Act right. Escalate early.

Don't just know the emergency. Know what to do next.

An algorithm-based handbook with a Quick Reference Dashboard and Emergency Formulary. Digital PDF.

When a child is critically ill, you need to recognise the problem, identify immediate priorities, act safely, reassess and escalate when required.

This practical clinical learning handbook is built around the questions clinicians face: What should I do first? What must I not miss? What needs reassessment? When should I escalate or refer?


A bedside-oriented format

  • Do Now: immediate actions to consider first in a deteriorating child
  • Red Flags: findings that should change the urgency of assessment or trigger escalation
  • Resource-limited settings: practical considerations for PHC, CHC and district hospitals, and the need for timely transfer
  • Common pitfalls: mistakes and avoidable delays to watch for
  • Practical algorithms: step-by-step pathways for recognition, treatment considerations and reassessment
  • One-minute revision: concise recap points

Chapter depth varies: more detailed coverage for high-stakes emergencies, and shorter focused chapters and rapid-reference cards elsewhere.

What is inside

  • Paediatric resuscitation and stabilisation
  • Airway and respiratory emergencies, shock and cardiovascular emergencies
  • Neurological emergencies, poisoning and toxicology
  • Trauma and environmental emergencies, paediatric surgical emergencies
  • Metabolic and endocrine emergencies, infectious emergencies
  • Behavioural and psychiatric emergencies and additional acute-care topics

The sequence repeats throughout: recognition, immediate action, treatment, reassessment, escalation or referral.

Who it is for

MBBS students, interns, Medical Officers, emergency physicians, paediatric residents, and family and primary-care doctors. It is designed for learning across PHC, CHC, district hospital, emergency department and PICU contexts, while recognising that local resources and referral pathways vary.
