	Generally sees patients triaged level 3 or sicker and CPP patients, but should be ready to see any level patients to keep the patients being seen as quickly as possible. Often have to resuscitate and stabilize emergency pediatric patients. As in the case of a code it is important that you communicate with your team of ED providers to determine who will “run the ~~code “~~ in charge of a seriously ill pediatric patient and then help each other out until the patient is stable. Clear communication is critical so that the patient receives the best care possible. If it is a trauma patient, generally the ER physician is the best person to assume primary care of a pediatric patient with pediatrician assistance. For very sick septic, respiratory, seizure, endocrine crisis, metabolic, cardiac etc pediatric patients, it is often best if the pediatricians assume primary care of the patient with the assistance of the ER doctor.
