While rapid decision making is essential, it is not without challenges:
- Diagnostic Uncertainty: Children often present with non-specific symptoms, making it difficult to arrive at a definitive diagnosis quickly. - Communication Barriers: Younger children may not be able to articulate their symptoms, requiring clinicians to rely on observation and caregiver reports. - Resource Limitations: In some settings, the lack of adequate resources, including specialized equipment and trained personnel, can hinder prompt decision making.
