With guidelines for having a department of emergency medicine as mandatory in all medical colleges, pediatric emergency medicine as a specialty also needs strengthening. This handbook is a right step to fulfil the need of young learners and practitioners.

The book has 16 sections, carefully segregated with a system-wise approach. Chapters on common procedures, drug formulary and clinical scoring systems provide extra zest to the book. The chapters are appropriately complemented with relevant pictures and easy comprehensible flow diagrams, making it a ready reckoner. The first section on setting up of a PICU is very useful; supplementing another chapter on designing a pediatric emergency room in future editions will be really helpful in current scenario. Incorporating child abuse, trauma, surgical emergencies, gynecologic emergencies and point of care ultrasound in ER will further add to this beautifully produced book. The book is recommended for all the young pediatricians and neonatologists.
