SPECIALISED PAEDIATRIC ACUTE MEDICAL CARE
Acute paediatric care is a branch of medicine that involves the treatment of infants, children and adolescents suffering from acute conditions or emergency trauma.
We at North Coast Emergency Group provide services to children with a range of acute paediatric medical conditions, including those with:
- Fever
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and dehydration
- Children who have nearly drowned
- Lacerations and suturing
- Spinal cord and head injuries
- Respiratory problems
- Seizures
- Severe restlessness
- Skin rashes
- Injuries with possible fractures and cast application
It can be very frightening for parents if their child comes down with an illness or gets injured, especially when they do not know what is happening to their child. You should contact a North Coast Emergency Group physician if you have any concerns about your child's health. The physician or nurse will determine the level of care your child needs. Babies are often different when it comes to disease or injury. Almost everything unusual in infants two to three months of age or younger must be examined immediately. If your child is exhibiting any of the symptoms mentioned above, you should schedule a visit to North Coast Emergency Group as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
Although some of our little patients may no longer require hospital care, they continue to need constant supervision and medical care. We at North Cost Emergency Group provide quality treatment with tender care and always pride ourselves in always bringing forth favourable treatment results.
Upon arrival, a comprehensive physical examination will be done for proper diagnosis. Our emergency room doctors will determine which treatment plan is best suited for your child's needs with early referral to specialist paediatricians on-call if necessary. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to regularly review the treatment plan, evaluate your child's progress, and make adjustments if needs be.
Family involvement is essential during the care and treatment planning process. You will be educated about your child's medical condition to help support them and aid in recovery. Depending on your child's condition, rehabilitation may be indicated. We at North Coast Emergency Group provide exceptional service and treatment to help your child make a full recovery.
