Introducción: los departamentos de emergencias deben contar con una organización estructural y funcional adecuada, un personal calificado con conocimientos y habilidades suficientes para brindar una atención de calidad a quienes buscan atención de emergencia. Existen pocos datos relacionados a estos fundamentos sobre las emergencias pediátricas en la República Dominicana.
Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio es analizar la situación de los departamentos de emergencias pediátricas de la República Dominicana en relación con los estándares internacionales para estos departamentos.
Método: se realizó una entrevista de manera presencial observando directamente a siete emergencias pediátricas de todas las regiones del país. Para ello se aplicó un cuestionario tomado de los lineamientos de las Normas y Estándares de acreditación de los Servicios de Urgencias Español.
Resultados: los siete departamentos de emergencia brindan asistencia aproximadamente a 201,500 pacientes en un período de un año. Se evidenció dificultades arquitectónicas por falta de áreas esenciales y de las capacidades por volumen de pacientes vistos. En su mayoría había ausencia o escases de equipos básico. En cuanto la administración, solo dos centros no tenían un gerente de emergencia pediátrica.
Conclusión: es de suma importancia tener normas y estándares nacionales que sean afines con los internacionales, ya que los departamentos de emergencias pediátricas de nuestro país tienen oportunidades importantes de mejora de calidad en la atención para el beneficio de la población pediátrica.

There are few data related to these fundamentals on pediatric emergencies in the Dominican Republic. Objectives: The objective of this study is to analyze the situation of pediatric emergency services in the Dominican Republic in relation to international standards for these services. Methods: A face-to-face interview was conducted, directly observing 7 pediatric emergencies from all regions of the country, which was mediated by a questionnaire extracted from the guidelines of the Accreditation Norms and Standards of Spanish Emergency Services. Results: The 7 emergency services provided assisted approximately 201,500 patients in a year. Architectural difficulties were evidenced due to the lack of essential areas and capacities due to the volume of patients served. In most pediatric emergencies there was an absence or shortage of basic equipment. Regarding the administration, only two centers do not have a chief of pediatric emergencies. Conclusion: It is extremely important to have national norms and standards following international ones since the pediatric emergency services of our country have important opportunities to improve the quality of care for the benefit of the pediatric population.
