It is now more than ten years since
the publication of the first edition of Textbook of Paediatric Emergency
Medicine and interest in this specialty continues to grow at a local and
international level. Paediatric emergency medicine can be a challenging and
difficult area for doctors. Children cannot always communicate their problems
verbally, while parents are anxious and the possibility of a missed diagnosis
is ever present. Although the principles in managing paediatric patients are
the same as adults there are significant differences in patterns of illness and
response. In addition, the therapies available vary widely between adult and
paediatric practice.
