L'importante lavoro di sensibilizzazione svolto da numerose società scientifiche ha portato a promuovere una vera e propria cultura dell'Urgenza pediatrica anche in Italia, dove la maggior parte degli accessi pediatrici in Pronto Soccorso è, di solito, gestita dal medico dell'adulto. È infatti sempre più evidente che, in qualsiasi campo della medicina si operi, il paziente pediatrico richiede un approccio mirato, a maggior ragione in situazioni di emergenza nelle quali, dalla rapidità della diagnosi e dal successivo intervento, può dipendere la vita del paziente. Questo volume, dopo un'introduzione dedicata allo stato dell'arte della Pediatria d'urgenza in Italia, descrive tutte le situazioni che il Pronto Soccorso deve affrontare.

Questo volume non vuole essere un trattato d'emergenza o di traumatologia pediatrica, ma uno strumento didattico per l'allievo che si accosta a un corso di formazione in Supporto Vitale Avanzato del bambino, che fornisca conoscenze aggiornate sulle lesioni in età pediatrica e che faciliti l'approccio mentale al bambino critico. Lo scopo non è solo quello di ridurre la mortalità infantile, ma anche di non creare un numero elevato di disabili in età evolutiva. Il manuale è frutto di cinque anni di studio e sperimentazione interattiva di conoscenza, tecniche, procedure, metodologie didattiche, feedback allievi-docenti.
