Abstract:
Objective:To understand the current situations and existing problems of pediatric emergency in Shanghai city and provide a basis for the construction and management of pediatric emergency.Methods:The questionnaire survey was used to investigate the current situations of pediatric emergency department in secondary and tertiary public hospitals in Shanghai city.Results:A total of 28 questionnaires were delivered, and 28 were responded.Six of the 28 hospitals had no administratively independent pediatric emergency or no separate pediatric emergency area.Of the 22 hospitals, each had an average of 9.7 professional emergency pediatricians, with the exception of one secondary hospital that lacked professional emergency pediatricians.Professional emergency pediatricians accounted for an average of 70.0% of all pediatricians.Of the 22 hospitals, 18(81.8%) were open 24 hours a day.Fourteen(63.6%) had independent triage.Eight children′s emergency rooms(36.4%) were shared with adults.Among the 22 hospitals, 20 hospitals filled in the annual total number of pediatric emergency visits, and the total number of pediatric emergency visits ranged from 2 791 to 467 428, with an average of 93 966.65.Conclusion:There are still some problems in the development of pediatric emergency department in secondary and tertiary public hospitals in Shanghai city, such as insufficient human resources, substandard personnel training, incomplete equipment and lack of critical first-aid techniques.Therefore, the construction and management of pediatric emergency department still need to be improved.
