Physicians routinely treat sick children in the emergency department (ED). Many relevant articles on pediatric medicine are published in journals that are not typically read by many general emergency medicine physicians. We reviewed salient pediatric emergency medicine literature from the past year and identified ten impactful articles for general emergency physicians. This review includes studies of pediatric pneumonia, brief resolved unexplained events, covid-19, hemorrhage control, retropharyngeal abscess, infant fever, diabetic ketoacidosis, mastitis, buckle fractures, and invasive herpes simplex virus infection.
