This manual was developed for use by pediatric housestaff as a
pocket-sized guide to the stabilization of potentially ill children. It is not
a policy manual, but offers the developing physician one reasonable framework
upon which knowledge and practice may be built. It is our hope that this
manual, used in conjunction with other sources, will contribute to resident
education and patient care by allowing rapid access to basic principles of the
initial management of pediatric patients
