AB  - Of  the  approximately  130  million  annual  emergency  department  (ED)  visits  in  the  United  States,  over  25  million  (20%)  are  children  younger  than  18  years.  Injuries  and  poisonings  are  the  leading  cause  of  all  pediatric  ED  visits  (30%),  with  respiratory  disorders  (27%)  also  accounting  for  a  significant  percentage.  Though  the  vast  majority  (93%)  of  children  presenting  for  ED  evaluation  are  discharged  home,  over  1  million  each  year  require  hospital  admission  from  the  ED  and,  sadly,  nearly  8000  children  die  every  year  in  US  EDs.
