PY - 2022 T2 - Understanding Crisis in Critical Care AB - Some of the most basic instincts of any biological group is the need to protect the progeny in time of peril. Most human cultures see the care for children as one of the highest values. As children have distinctive biological, physiological, psychological, and developmental attributes, it is crucial that pediatric needs are incorporated into every facet of disaster, mass casualties, and preparedness planning.
