“…Finally, responses to the NPRP assessments are self‐reported, and natural variation in the NPRP responders could bias the sample. Given the lack of demographics or further information from non‐responders, it is difficult to make any conclusions 13,15 …”

“…Recognizing the importance of the topic but the constraints of daily clinical care, the American Academy of Pediatrics, American College of Emergency Physicians, Emergency Nurses Association, National Association of EMS Physicians, and National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) released a joint policy statement on PR in EMS systems in 2019. [29][30][31] The purpose was to highlight the need for uniform pediatric prehospital care and to recommend standards based on PR needs in trauma care. 32 The NPRP will be conducting a PR survey of EMS agencies in 2024, using a similar methodology to the ED survey.…”

Injury is the leading cause of death in children older than 1 year, and children make up 22% of the population. Pediatric readiness (PR) of the nation's emergency departments and state trauma and emergency medical services (EMS) systems is conceptually important and vital to mitigate mortality and morbidity in this population. The extension of PR to the trauma community has become a focused area for training, staffing, education, and equipment at all levels of trauma center designation, and there is evidence that a higher level of emergency department PR is independently associated with long-term survival among injured children. Although less well studied, there is an associated need for EMS PR, which is relevant to the injured child who needs assessment, treatment, triage, and transport to a trauma center. We outline a blueprint along with recommendations for incorporating PR into trauma system development in this opinion from the EMS Committee of the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma. These recommendations are particularly pertinent in the rural and underserved areas of the United States but are directed toward all levels of professionals who care for an injured child along the trauma continuum of care.

“…If our claim is that any age of moderate to severely injured patient needs care at a TC, we should advocate for this program. A newer initiative is to extend the program to the EMS community, where each EMS has a pediatric emergency care coordinator responsible for training and quality improvement initiatives 40,41 . As a trauma community, this is something we should support.…”
