Pediatric Guidelines
The Pediatric guidelines have been developed to assist health care providers in the evidence-based care of children in Arkansas and other states. They are revised every 3 years to provide the most advanced care for this vulnerable population. Faculty from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas Children's Hospital and other academic institutions have developed and revised these guidelines. The guidelines are supported by Arkansas Children's Hospital. The guidelines are not meant to cover every scenario; rather, they are only meant to be used as suggestions, with the understanding that individual circumstances may dictate deviating from these guidelines.
