Abstract：Children, as a special vulnerable group, are more susceptible to severe physical injury and psychological trauma in an earthquake. The Pediatric Disaster Branch of Chinese Pediatric Society of Chinese Medical Association and the Pediatric Branch of Chinese People's Liberation Army formulated the expert consensus on on-site medical rescue and transfer of children in an earthquake. The consensus introduces the treatment principles and precautions of on-site treatment and subsequent transfer for children in an earthquake, in order to better serve children in this emergency.
