摘要

Background

In pediatric emergency care, collaboration between treatment teams and parents in prehospital and in-hospital settings presents a particular challenge.

Objectives

The aim of this work is to highlight the special situation, particularly the psychological burden on those involved. Furthermore, practical guidance, formulation aids, and memory aids are presented to support treatment teams in their work. The death of a child, the delivery of death notifications, and collaboration with siblings are explicitly not covered in this work.

Materials and methods

This work is based on a comprehensive literature review. Based on this review, the high-stress scenarios of those involved were identified and helpful, practical guidance for dealing with parents from the perspective of the teams was derived.

Results

Pediatric emergency interventions lead to high-stress situations for the treatment team both in prehospital and in-hospital settings. For parents, their own child’s emergency, possibly including resuscitation, represents an extreme crisis and confronts them with various fears. Often, the presence of parents creates additional stress for the teams. It is important to prepare for this situation to enable parental presence and establish cooperative interaction.

Conclusion

Parents may be present during emergencies upon request. Treatment teams must prepare for these special situations and train for them in both prehospital and in-hospital settings. This presence is part of the parents’ coping process and is in the best interest of the children.
