How does the equipment/technology differ from a traditional emergency department?
The pediatric emergency department was built and equipped with technology and furnishings designed especially for the care and comfort of patients ranging from birth to 18 years and their families. Pediatric crash carts, which are stocked with medical supplies for use in critical emergencies, were designed to be compatible with Cardinal Glennon’s equipment. A color coding system denotes the size of the child. The 23-hour observation rooms has over-sized recliners to assure the comfort of parents who want to stay close to their children.
