“…3 These earlier publications called for a patientand family-centered and team-oriented approach to the provision of compassionate care while respecting social, spiritual, and cultural diversity. They outlined responsibilities of the ED staff involved in the care of the child, including the responsibility to facilitate organ procurement and obtain consent for postmortem examinations; to facilitate the identification of medical examiner cases and the reporting of potential maltreatment cases; to assist team members, including emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, with managing critical incident stress; to notify the primary care provider and other clinicians/specialists; and to delineate the responsibility of follow-up of autopsy reports or other medical information.…”

The death of a child in the emergency department (ED) is one of the most challenging problems facing ED clinicians. This revised technical report and accompanying policy statement reaffirm principles of patient- and family-centered care. Recent literature is examined regarding family presence, termination of resuscitation, bereavement responsibilities of ED clinicians, support of child fatality review efforts, and other issues inherent in caring for the patient, family, and staff when a child dies in the ED. Appendices are provided that offer an approach to bereavement activities in the ED, carrying out forensic responsibilities while providing compassionate care, communicating the news of the death of a child in the acute setting, providing a closing ritual at the time of terminating resuscitation efforts, and managing the child with a terminal condition who presents near death in the ED.

“…Most of it must be gleaned from other reports addressing communication, endof-life care, and the emerging literature on pediatric palliative care. 3 Despite efforts to address this in the past 2 decades, resident education in this area is weak by most reports. [4][5][6][7] Even in pediatric training programs situated in children's hospitals with palliative care services, the need for continued training and enhancement of communication skills around such matters has been documented.…”

BACKGROUND:Death pronouncement comes infrequently for the pediatrician. The place of death for most children is in the hospital. For hospitalists and pediatric intensivists in the neonatal intensive care or pediatric intensive care units, death pronouncement is not uncommon. For hospitalist physicians, the call to attend a code or to pronounce a death may come on any given shift and from almost anywhere in the hospital.CONCLUSION:A demonstrative case is provided, followed by key concepts for practice and for educating trainees.
