Of the estimated 6.3 million global annual deaths in children younger than the age of 5 years, nearly all (99%) occur in low- to middle-income countries (LMIC). Existing management guidelines for children with emergency conditions as taught in a variety of current pediatric life support courses are mostly applicable to high-income countries with a different disease range and full resources compared with LMIC. A revised curriculum with evidence-based application to limited-resource settings would expand their potential for reducing pediatric mortality worldwide. This review provides a supplemental curriculum of standards for selected pediatric emergency conditions with attention to the context of disease range and level-specific resources in LMIC. During training sessions, contextualized management guidelines create the framework for realistic and fruitful case simulations. |
