Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

I would like to thank the editor for the opportunity to review this manuscript relating to a field of interest to me. the text is well written but I'm not a native speaker so I can't suggest any particular changes to English, and I'll leave the task of correcting the language to the editor.

I suggest some minor revisions.

Paragraph 2: I suggest talking about overcrowding first and then triage schemes as the text can be confusing.

paragraph 3: the paragraph is very long so it might be useful to try to shorten it and above all divide it into subparagraphs to make it more readable.

paragraph 4: it could be useful to divide the text into two sub-paragraphs, one dedicated to POCUS, further emphasizing the type of training necessary for this practice which is now necessary in all pediatric emergency departments, and one dedicated to CT; I suggest deleting the comment relating to the use of radiography as it is now an obsolete practice as also reported in the algorithms (PECARN) mentioned in the manuscript.
