Hi - We're a Level II center taking care of adults and kids. We have no
pediatric surgeons. Kids are managed by the general surgeon with involvement
of the on-call pediatrician. We're struggling a bit with integration of the
pediatrician - which specialty should have responsibility for which aspects of
patient care (fluids, pain meds, discharge planning, etc.). In other words,
what should the role of the pediatrician be, both in the resuscitative and
post-resuscitative periods? I'd sure appreciate any help/guidance anyone could
provide (protocols, relevant articles, whatever)! Thanks, John
