Abstract

Among children presenting to the emergency department with acute asthma or wheezing, except for first time wheezing, chest X-rays (CXR) are typically not recommended as part of the diagnostic workup. It is not known, however, if there are differences in CXR utilization among pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) specialists as compared to general emergency medicine (EM) practitioners. In our pediatric emergency department (ED), either PEM or EM providers supervise and manage the care of children. This provides us an opportunity to compare clinical practice among the EM specialties.
