The research program of the Division of Emergency Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics at ²ÝÁñÉçÇøÈë¿Ú works to improve the health of children through excellence in research conducted by nationally and internationally recognized experts in pediatric emergency medicine. We accomplish this mission through multidisciplinary collaboration with colleagues within and outside of BCM and across the continuum of care: prehospital settings; emergency department; inpatient service; and community. Faculty are actively engaged in and lead studies through the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (), the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Collaborative Research Committee () of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and Pediatric Emergency Medicine Research (), an international collaborative research network. In addition, our faculty are collaborating with the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators Global Health () Network and the World Health Organization’s Pneumonia Research Partnership to Address WHO Recommendations ().
We accomplish this through multidisciplinary collaboration with colleagues within and outside the medical center, across the continuum of care, provided: prehospital setting, emergency department, inpatient service, and community.
Research Areas
PEM faculty and fellows have a diversity of research interests. The main categories are summarized below, with links to the abstracts of peer-reviewed publications since 2020.
Child abuse is common and under-reported. A common initial location for presentation is the emergency department. Standardization of indications for an evaluation for abuse, and standardization of the workup itself can both improve child safety and also reduce the existing disparities in which children are evaluated for abusive injury. In collaboration with colleagues in the at ²ÝÁñÉçÇøÈë¿Ú, our faculty have investigated associations with child physical and sexual abuse in order to more readily identify children suffering from abuse.

The Gulf Coast is at risk for hurricanes and flooding, and BCM faculty are in the unique position to develop educational modalities and implementation science to improve the care of children in the setting of natural and man-made disasters. Our disaster medicine lead is , who developed his passion for disaster preparedness while a Tulane resident during Hurricane Katrina. He is a subject matter expert for FEMA’s Pediatric Disaster Response and Emergency Preparedness Course, the co-director of the disaster domain for the Emergency Medical Services for Children Innovations and Improvement Center (EIIC), and the Medical Director of Emergency Management for Texas Children’s Hospital.
Texas Children’s Hospital is a Pediatric Disaster Center of Excellence. The Gulf 7 Pediatric Disaster Network (), led by Dr. Kaziny, covers 6 U.S. states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas) and Puerto Rico. It is funded through the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR). The G7’s goal is to improve regional capacity to care for children during and after large-scale crises. The G7 is a core partner in the . The PPN was established through HRSA during the COVID-19 pandemic to address gaps in pediatric care and to allow for system-wide coordination through children’s hospitals serving as regional hubs.

Disparities in the access to and receipt of healthcare have been associated with numerous negative health outcomes in children and adults. Identification of disparities in care at the level of systems and providers can then lead to reductions in health disparities. The greater Houston area, as one of the most diverse metropolitan regions of the United States, a center for refugee relocation, and with proximity to our southern border, offers unique opportunities for Baylor PEM physicians to address and reduced disparities in care for our children and their families. Dr. Elyse Portillo is the co-chair of the PECARN Disparities Working Group and led the PEM research agenda for disparities as well as creating a toolkit for accurate collection of sociodemographic characteristics for PEM research.

The emergency department is often the first location children with newly-diagnosed diabetes or those with complications from their diabetes, including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), receive care. In partnership with colleagues in the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN), Texas Children's Hospital and BCM prospectively enrolled children in a clinical trial to determine the association between fluid composition and volume in correcting DKA and preventing the cognitive sequelae that can be seen with individual and repetitive episodes of DKA.

²ÝÁñÉçÇøÈë¿Ú / Texas Children's Hospital (BCM/TCH) is revolutionizing global pediatric emergency care. In sub-Saharan Africa, children have a 12 times higher chance of dying by their 5th birthday compared to the United States. Latin America is the continent which exhibits the highest disparities in child mortality rates between countries in the world. Although there have been significant improvements to global child survival over the last 20 years through improved access to care and stabilizing the HIV/AIDS epidemic, children still die of preventable, treatable diseases and injuries at staggeringly high numbers (5.9 million each year or >16,000/day). We know that interventions aimed at early recognition and management of injury and illness can profoundly decrease child mortality.
Launched in 2005, the , through ethical and committed bidirectional partnerships, aims to develop initiatives that promote collaboration and foster partnerships with existing BCM/TCH Global Health (GH) programs and external domestic and global partners focused on training and education, health systems strengthening, clinical care and treatment, advocacy, and research to improve emergency care of children worldwide.
With over 15 years of experience working in a variety of low-middle income countries (LMICs), endorsements by Latin American and African healthcare leaders, and in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and local Ministries of Health, Global PEM has had dramatic success providing over 25,000 hours of clinical care and shoulder-to-shoulder mentoring for emergently ill children alongside our global partners and training over 5,000 health professionals in 25 countries. Nearly 50% of Division faculty have contributed clinically or academically to the PEM-GH program since 2015. Collaboratively with our fellows (we have 1 PEM / global health fellow each year), this Global PEM work has resulted in 62 distinct manuscripts, 71 academic presentations and service on 41 local, national, and international GH-related committees.
Our group currently works in Argentina, Belize, Colombia, Cote d'Ivoire, El Salvador, Guatemala, Malawi, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, Rwanda, and South Africa. In addition, our clinicians provide care to newly arrived immigrant children at the South Texas border through the Texas Children's Hospital Program for Immigrant and Refugee Child Health ().
Since 2005, funding for this program has been supported through a combination of extramural grants totaling more than $4 million with approximately $1 million coming directly to the institution, internal grants as well as generous division, department and institutional support.

Research on infectious diseases within emergency medicine plays a crucial role in understanding and effectively managing the spread and impact of infectious agents in acute care settings. This research focuses on various aspects, including surveillance and early detection of emerging pathogens, evaluating diagnostic techniques, studying the efficacy of antimicrobial treatments, and developing strategies to prevent healthcare-associated infections. By investigating the epidemiology, transmission dynamics, and clinical manifestations of infectious diseases in emergency departments, researchers aim to enhance the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these conditions, ultimately improving patient outcomes and public health preparedness.
Our research chief, , is dual-boarded in PEM and ID, and is the current chair of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Collaborative Research Committee ( where she led a 23-center study of neonatal herpes simplex virus and has been the site PI on other multicenter studies on hemolytic uremic syndrome, fusobacterial infections, omphalitis, and mastitis. She is a consultant to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization (WHO) for childhood tuberculosis. She participated in the updated Surviving Sepsis pediatric guidelines.
Shubhada Hooli has worked extensively on the prevention of morbidity and mortality for young children with pneumonia in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). She has served as a WHO consultant for childhood pneumonia and is a member of the WHO's Research Partnership to Assess WHO Recommendations () and the Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators Global Health () network. Nina Singh, a recipient of the , is the PECARN site PI for a study evaluating fluid resuscitation for children STEC organisms to prevent progression to hemolytic uremic syndrome.

The role of mental health research in emergency departments for pediatric and adolescent patients is of utmost importance, particularly considering the increased rates of death by suicide and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Mental health disorders among young individuals have been steadily rising, and unfortunately, suicide has become one of the leading causes of death in this population. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated mental health challenges, with many children and adolescents experiencing heightened stress, anxiety, and depression due to social isolation, disrupted routines, and the overall impact of the pandemic on their lives. Inadequacies in the mental healthcare system contribute to patients seeking care in emergency departments. Long wait times, limited access to mental health professionals, insufficient community-based resources, and stigma surrounding mental health are some of the existing gaps that push individuals to present to emergency departments for immediate assistance. Therefore, mental health research in emergency departments is crucial for developing effective interventions, identifying risk factors, improving screening and assessment tools, and implementing appropriate referral systems to ensure timely and comprehensive mental health support for pediatric and adolescent patients in crisis. By addressing these gaps, we can strive to provide better care and ultimately save lives.
At TCH, investigators have collaborated with other mental health experts to conduct research involving screening youth for suicide, alcohol and drugs in the emergency department. This research has included developing and validating a novel computerized adaptive screen for suicidal youth () for use as a universal screen for suicide risk in medical emergency departments. Other research has involved comparing suicide screening measures for their predictive validity, identifying profiles of adolescents at risk for suicide and describing the risk and protective factors for suicide among subgroups at elevated risk for self-harm. Rohit Shenoi has been the PECARN site PI for several studies on mental health, including studies on teen suicide and on substance abuse.

Pain management in pediatric emergency departments is an area that requires attention, with research playing a crucial role in improving practices. It is essential to ensure that children receive appropriate pain relief during their emergency department visits. However, studies have revealed concerning racial and ethnic disparities in the provision of pain medication to pediatric patients. Minority children are more likely to experience undertreatment of pain compared to their white counterparts, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and awareness of these disparities. Improving the quality of care in pediatric pain management involves implementing evidence-based guidelines, standardized pain assessment tools, and comprehensive education for healthcare providers. Additionally, it is essential to consider the ongoing opioid epidemic while managing pediatric pain. Striking a balance between providing effective pain relief and minimizing the risk of opioid misuse and addiction is crucial. Research can help identify alternative non-opioid pain management strategies, explore multimodal approaches, and develop protocols that promote safe and effective pain relief for children in emergency departments. By addressing racial and ethnic disparities and considering the challenges posed by the opioid epidemic, we can enhance pain management practices, ensure equitable care, and prioritize the well-being of pediatric patients in emergency settings.

The care that patients receive on ambulances is often based on consensus, and pediatric prehospital evidence is limited to inform optimal care for children. By developing, implementing, and studying evidence-based guidelines on pediatric prehospital seizures, airway management, and pain management, our researchers have identified which strategies are most effective at enhancing guideline adherence, improving care, and mitigating disparities. We have also designed clinical trials to close gaps in knowledge for common pediatric emergency medical services (EMS) conditions, have studied effective ways to educate EMS professionals locally and globally, and have published guidance to enhance pediatric readiness in EMS systems across the United States.
The is one of the 3 sites in PECARN's prehospital EMS research node, forming the along with Charlotte and Milwaukee. Through this node and each of the other 6 PECARN node's EMS affiliate, prospective interventional and observational studies are conducted in the prehospital setting. Our group has collaborated with hospital-based () and prehospital providers to optimize management for children in status epilepticus. We have helped explore optimizing second-line therapy for children with seizures who fail to respond to benzodiazepines as well as standardizing benzodiazepine dosing in the prehospital setting. The latter 20-center study, , is being led by Manish Shah, who has an R01-funded study evaluating age-based dosing to facilitate accurate and timely administration of medications for children in status epilepticus.

Drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury death with significantly higher drowning rates occurring in persons belonging to minority groups. Project ASTRAL (Aquatic Safety Through Research, Analysis and Linkage of data) seeks to identify gender and ethnic subpopulations that experience higher rates of unintentional drowning, investigate the causes and outcomes for these disparities and compute the economic costs arising from unintentional drowning. Our research will help understand conditions affecting morbidity and mortality from unintentional drowning, especially in subpopulations that experience higher rates of drowning. We seek to disseminate our research to the community so that it can be used for countermeasures against drowning.

Respiratory diseases pose a significant burden in pediatric emergency departments, highlighting the urgent need to address existing gaps in care. One concerning aspect is the high mortality rate associated with pneumonia in children under the age of 5. Pneumonia remains a leading cause of death worldwide among young children, particularly in low-income countries. Despite advances in medical knowledge and treatment options, access to appropriate healthcare, including timely diagnosis, effective antibiotics, and supportive care, remains limited in many regions. Closing this gap requires comprehensive strategies, such as improved access to healthcare facilities, increased vaccination coverage, and enhanced community-based interventions to prevent, diagnose, and manage pneumonia in young children.
Another respiratory condition that significantly impacts pediatric emergency departments is bronchiolitis. This viral infection primarily affects infants and young children, causing inflammation and obstruction in the small airways of the lungs. Bronchiolitis places a considerable burden on healthcare systems, with a substantial number of hospitalizations each year. However, there are inconsistencies in the management of bronchiolitis across different healthcare settings, leading to variations in care and potentially unnecessary interventions. Addressing these gaps necessitates the development and implementation of evidence-based guidelines, standardizing diagnostic criteria, and promoting appropriate supportive care measures to reduce hospitalizations and improve outcomes for children with bronchiolitis.
Asthma, a chronic respiratory condition, also contributes to the workload in pediatric emergency departments. It is one of the most common chronic diseases among children, and its prevalence has been increasing over the years. However, disparities in asthma management and outcomes persist, particularly among marginalized populations. Factors such as limited access to healthcare, inadequate asthma education, environmental triggers, and socioeconomic challenges contribute to these disparities. Efforts to bridge the gaps in asthma care should focus on promoting equitable access to healthcare services, ensuring proper asthma education for patients and caregivers, and implementing comprehensive strategies to address environmental triggers and social determinants of health.
In conclusion, respiratory diseases pose significant challenges in pediatric emergency departments. Gaps in care, including high under 5 pneumonia mortality rates, the burden of bronchiolitis, and disparities in asthma management, demand immediate attention. By implementing evidence-based guidelines, improving access to healthcare services, strengthening preventive measures, and addressing social determinants of health, we can strive towards reducing the burden of respiratory diseases among children and improving their overall outcomes.

Resuscitation research in pediatric emergency medicine plays a crucial role in improving outcomes for critically ill children. However, several existing gaps in care need to be addressed to ensure optimal resuscitation efforts. One significant area that requires attention is the development of pediatric-specific airway protocols. Children have distinct anatomical and physiological differences compared to adults, which necessitate tailored approaches during airway management. Current protocols primarily derive from adult practices, and this lack of pediatric-specific guidelines can lead to suboptimal airway management and potential complications. Therefore, there is a pressing need for research focused on designing evidence-based airway protocols specifically tailored to the unique needs of pediatric patients.
In addition to the lack of pediatric-specific airway protocols, the implementation of recognition tools for early identification of critical illness in children is another crucial area requiring attention. Timely recognition of deteriorating conditions is vital for initiating appropriate resuscitative measures promptly. However, recognizing signs of impending deterioration in children can be challenging due to variations in clinical presentations and the subtle nature of symptoms. Developing and validating reliable recognition tools, such as pediatric early warning scores or clinical decision support systems, can assist healthcare providers in identifying high-risk patients earlier, leading to timely interventions and improved outcomes.
Simulation medicine serves as an invaluable tool in resuscitation research, particularly in pediatric emergency medicine. Simulated scenarios allow healthcare providers to practice critical resuscitation skills, refine their techniques, and gain confidence in managing complex pediatric emergencies. Simulation-based training offers a safe and controlled environment where healthcare teams can learn to work together efficiently, improve communication, and enhance their overall performance during resuscitation efforts. Furthermore, simulation medicine provides an avenue for testing and refining new protocols and technologies before their implementation in real-world clinical settings. Continued investment in simulation-based research and training programs can greatly contribute to advancing pediatric resuscitation practices and ultimately save more lives.
In conclusion, resuscitation research in pediatric emergency medicine is essential for filling the existing gaps in care. Pediatric-specific airway protocols, recognition tools for early identification of critical illness, and the utilization of simulation medicine are all crucial areas that demand attention. By addressing these gaps and investing in research and innovation, we can enhance the quality of care provided to critically ill children, improve outcomes, and ultimately make significant strides in pediatric resuscitation practices.

Pediatric trauma and injury prevention within emergency departments is a critical area of research aimed at reducing the incidence and severity of injuries among children. Epidemiological data plays a crucial role in understanding the patterns and causes of pediatric injuries, allowing researchers to identify high-risk populations and design targeted prevention strategies. Research also highlights disparities in pediatric trauma, revealing that certain subpopulations, such as children from low-income families or marginalized communities, are more vulnerable to injuries and have limited access to timely and appropriate care. This data on disparities serves as a basis for developing interventions that address the specific needs and challenges faced by these populations, ultimately working towards reducing inequalities in pediatric trauma outcomes. By focusing on injury prevention and promoting equitable access to care, research in this field aims to improve the overall health and well-being of children in emergency departments.
We participated in the PECARN study to develop a clinical decision rule for neuroimaging for in children.

Quality improvement (QI) touches every aspect of emergency department (ED) care. We are very fortunate at BCM/TCH that the Chief Quality Officer (Medicine) is a pediatric emergency medicine physician: Dr. has been spearheading QI efforts locally and nationally. Dr. Patel is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics' Septic Shock Collaborative and the Committee for Quality Transformation, which has established several clinical algorithms for management of common conditions seen in the ED, including pneumonia and urinary tract infection. She is also a member of the group of the Children's Hospital Association. Her work has influenced the creation of the Choosing Wisely list of tests to avoid in the ED. Dr. Joan Shook is the Chief Safety Officer at Texas Children's and is the former division chief of PEM. She has participated in numerous guideline committees for the AAP.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has emerged as a valuable tool in the emergency department (ED), offering real-time imaging and aiding in rapid decision-making. POCUS has numerous indications in the ED, including assessment of cardiac function, detection of pneumothorax, evaluation of abdominal pain, identification of deep vein thrombosis, and guidance for various procedures. In the pediatric population, POCUS has shown immense potential, particularly in diagnosing conditions such as pneumonia, appendicitis, intussusception, and fractures. Pediatric-specific data has demonstrated the utility of POCUS in improving diagnostic accuracy and expediting care for children, with studies highlighting its effectiveness in reducing the need for further imaging or invasive procedures. Additionally, POCUS is particularly beneficial in resource-limited settings or during emergencies where immediate imaging is crucial. The growing body of evidence supports the integration of POCUS in the ED, empowering clinicians to provide timely and accurate diagnoses, leading to improved outcomes for pediatric patients.
Kiyetta Alade is the director of pediatric POCUS for PEM and was the Ultrasound Program Chair from 2018-2021. She also serves on the committee member for the section of pediatric emergency medicine. Stephanie Leung is the POCUS fellowship director at BCM/TCH.
