Abstract:

Emergency care for the paediatric population remains a challenge because of the varying physiology and development related issues in children. The number requiring such emergency attention is generally high in tertiary care centres in low and middle income countries. It therefore is essential to have a system of triaging to efficiently and effectively cater to the emergency needs of the sick children attending the emergency departments.
