Pediatric emergency medicine deals with critical or emergency care of infants, children and adolescents. A pediatric emergency medicine physician has special knowledge and training in treatment and medications for children who are critically ill because of injury or disease. An emergency physician, also called an intensivist, acts immediately to prevent death or disability to a young patient in a hospital intensive care department or elsewhere if a patient requires emergency care.
