Core Tip

Core Tip: This comprehensive systematic review highlights the importance of tailored approaches in managing critical care emergencies in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study examines various case studies by examining the need for sensory-friendly environments, effective communication strategies, and multidisciplinary care. Key strategies include minimizing sensory overload, using visual aids, involving caregivers, and implementing structured routines. The findings underscore the significance of individualized care plans and the potential for improved outcomes through targeted interventions and training programs for healthcare providers. This review advocates for continuous refinement of protocols to better meet the unique needs of children with ASD in emergency settings.
