Abstract
High-stress resuscitations, the hectic
atmosphere of the Emergency
Department (ED) might result in
overlooked facts and disjointed care.
It is suggested that standardised,
evidence-based checklists be
used for both adult and pediatric
emergencies in order to guarantee a
uniform standard of care.
