The Pediatric Emergency Department (ED)

If you or your child are in need of emergency care, please call 9-1-1 immediately.

Pediatric Emergencies Happen Every Day

Emergencies happen every day and no one understands that better than the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED) at The Bristol-Myers Squibb Children’s Hospital (BMSCH). We are equipped to treat a wide range of pediatric medical problems for patients from infancy through age 21. 

Advanced Emergency Care Exculsively for Children

Our ED is a unique standalone pediatric emergency department – completely separate from our adult emergency room. It is specially designed to meet the needs of children and their families. 

Breadth of Services

For the most seriously injured children who arrive at the ED, we provide the sophisticated services of a Level I trauma center, which include our pediatric surgeons from all specialties who are available at a moment’s notice to perform surgery on critically ill patients.

The Pediatric Emergency Department also provides care for less serious, non-life threatening injuries through its Express Care Program. 

In addition, we offer a moderate sedation service that sets us apart from other emergency departments. With moderate sedation, we are able to perform painful procedures, such as fracture reduction or wound repairs, right in the ED without hospitalization. Children can come in with a bad fracture or injury, have it repaired and go right home; often no visit to the operating room is necessary!

Equipped to handle any injury, at any time of day, the staff of the BMSCH pediatric ED are ready to care for your child.

For more information on the pediatric ED at BMSCH, please call (732) 418-8173.
