The new scenarios in approaching pediatric emergencies motivated us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in clinical practice for pediatric patients with respiratory problems”

Like other medical specialties and subspecialties, pediatric emergencies have reached a development of progressive specialization in recent years. Physicians working in pediatric emergency care services must be able to provide comprehensive initial care to pediatric patients, basing their actions on the latest scientific evidence.

For this reason, knowledge must be constantly updated through programs aimed at reinforcing their functions, both in recognizing and initially resolving the emergency, and in focusing.

Training for physicians in the pediatric emergency department should include an update on the diagnostic and therapeutic techniques in respiratory pathology, which guarantee rapid and safe assistance in all pediatric ages. In addition, it should include organizational aspects of pediatric emergency services and the provision of personnel and material, with emphasis on their differential characteristics.

This program offers physicians updated training on the most important pediatric respiratory emergencies, establishing the keys for pediatric patient care, and the approach to the different diagnostic and treatment techniques of emergency care in the pediatric age.
