Understanding safety in prehospital emergency medical services for children.
This paper adds to the qualitative understanding of the nature of and contributors to safety events in the prehospital emergency care of children. The findings of this study suggest that factors at the systems, team, child/family, and individual provider level system contribute to errors in prehospital emergency care. These factors may be modifiable through interventions and systems improvements.

Postmarketing trials and pediatric device approvals.
The authors sought to describe the current state of trial evidence underpinning the approval of pediatric devices. They found that most high-risk pediatric devices are approved on the basis of trials in patients 18 years of age or older, with few pediatric patients exposed to the devices before market availability. Also, few postmarketing studies require additional study in pediatric patients.
