"Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves" Lord Chesterfield Optimal management of emergencies in children requires prompt and precise decision making. Well-designed protocols assist the clinician in accessing the standard of care rapidly. Our efforts were directed at developing reliable and concise protocols based on our practice and experience, backed by available evidence. We are happy that the first two editions of PGIMER management protocols in Pediatric Emergency Medicine were very well received by Pediatric postgraduates, residents and practicing pediatricians. This has encouraged us to bring out this third edition, which continues to offers a balance of experience and updated evidence-based management guidelines for most common pediatric emergencies. The chapter contents have been presented in a simple, easy to understand language with emphasis on practical aspects. We hope that this book will continue to serve as a ready reckoner to guide on 'what to do' and 'how to do' while managing children with acute illnesses. The revised management algorithms can serve as an easy to use checklist for the treating team.New to this edition are management protocols for status epilepticus and diabetic ketoacidosis, conditions commonly encountered in an emergency room. We hope that this edition will continue to serve a useful resource for healthcare professionals managing acutely sick children.
