Emergency Department Part 2

Emergency Department Part 2

An unexpected health emergency for a baby, child or young person can be traumatic, especially if it involves a trip to the emergency department (ED).

While we hope you will never have to visit the Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) ED, in the event you do, it can help to know what to expect when you arrive.

In this special two-part episode of Kids Health Matters we join Paediatric Emergency Specialist and General Paediatrician Dr Paul Sander to take you behind the scenes at our busy ED.

In this second part of a two-part discussion, Dr Paul will arm you with knowledge to help you manage common illnesses.

He responds to common ED concerns, with a series of rapid-fire questions such as:

  • when is a rash of concern
  • why is it important to know the duration of a fever and
  • at what point should we worry about our child’s temperature?

Dr Paul also shares with us what he loves about working in PCH’s ED, which last year treated around 70,000 babies, children and young people.

Make sure you listen to the first part of the conversation, where Dr Paul explains what happens when you visit a Perth emergency department.
