Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate emergency department (ED) management of childhood syncope, focusing on diagnostic tests ordered, whether a reason for specific testing was recorded, and hospital admission rates.
Methods: We reviewed ED records of patients aged 5 to 20 years who presented to a community hospital ED with syncope or near-syncope over a 1-year period (April 1, 2004, to March 31, 2005). Patient charts were nonelectronic (paper).
