METHODS—All infants aged 7 days to 5 years presenting to an accident and emergency department were simultaneously triaged and assessed by a nurse and a senior paediatrician. This study sought to develop, implement and assess the impact of an Emergency Triage Assessment and Treatment (ETAT)-based emergency triage process in the paediatric emergency department (PED) of a public hospital in Guatemala. The main purpose of this triage line is to determine whether or not an individual requires further assessment by MHJHADS and/or other services; and the nature and urgency of the response required . rn�/>k�1�^ ���쌥RNe���J�6�P)I5;E ��p We would first and foremost like to thank our partners at HNPB for tireless leadership and support of the programme.
Finally, we are grateful for the Texas Children’s Hospital’s Global Health Initiative Seed Grant and Educational Awards in 2010 and 2011 which provided the funds to pilot the curriculum and develop, implement and evaluate the training programme in Latin America.We use cookies to improve your website experience.
