Paediatric Emergencies
The only private hospital in Cádiz with 24-hour paediatric emergencies.
- 24-hour immediate paediatric care, 365 days a year
- A safe environment adapted for young children
Urgent paediatric care requires a specific approach, adapted to each stage of development. The illnesses, symptoms, and response to treatment in children are different from those in adults, making it essential to have professionals specialising in paediatrics.
Having paediatricians in A&E allows for a more precise assessment, an accurate diagnosis, and age-appropriate treatment, reducing risks and improving the quality of care.
Paediatricians are familiar with the disease patterns specific to each stage. Inconsolable crying, a fever without an obvious source, or difficulty breathing have different interpretations depending on age.
Dosing, analytical reference values, and alert thresholds in paediatrics differ from adults. The paediatric specialist works with these parameters confidently.
The urgency affects the whole family. We know how to communicate with the child according to their age and support the parents with clear and reassuring information.
Febrile seizures, severe allergic reactions, or acute respiratory distress require protocols and materials adapted to the patient's size and weight.
If your child presents any of these symptoms, don't wait. We are available 24 hours a day, without an appointment.
Especially in infants under 3 months old, or when the temperature exceeds 39°C and does not respond to usual medication.
Laboured breathing, noisy breathing, blue lips or nails, or marked intercostal retractions.
Falls with possible fractures, blows to the head, or wounds requiring stitches. If they do not cry immediately after a blow, urgent assessment is required.
When liquids are not tolerated, sunken eyes, crying without tears, or if it lasts longer than 24 hours.
Widespread skin rashes, swelling of the lips or eyelids, difficulty swallowing or any sudden allergic reaction.
Any seizure episode, loss of consciousness or sudden alteration in the level of consciousness requires immediate urgent attention.
When a child arrives at our emergency department, the first objective is a rapid and accurate assessment. Our paediatric team acts without delay.
Urgent paediatric assessment to identify the situation and prioritise care.
Radiology, laboratory and complementary tests all in the same hospital. No referrals or waiting.
Spaces and equipment designed to reduce stress for children and families during care.
