Instruments used in paediatrics

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This list seems doomed never to be completed, since most instruments used in paediatric medicine, surgery, nursing, or dentistry are smaller-sized versions of their adult counterparts. The field 'pediatrics' is far too general, since almost every adult specialty has a paediatric equivalent. Ventilators, spring balances and tape could all be better referenced in more specific lists and articles (critical care, for example). While I applaud the original author's attempt to include paediatrics in the medical lists on WP, I don't feel this one adds anything useful or notable. I do give him or her marks for including lollipops on the list though :) Basie (talk) 09:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Basie pretty much says it all. These instruments are usually small versions of regular instruments and thus making a list specifically for pediatrics instruments is not a viable endeavor. - Mgm|(talk) 12:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
