How Low Can You Go? Rethinking Lumbar Punctures for Well-Appearing Febrile Infants Do you need to perform an LP on every infant under 28 days of age or can we use the PECARN febrile infant rule?

Management of the febrile infant has changed quite a bit. @spiroskara.bsky.social and I cover the @jama.com paper from Drs. Burstein and Kuppermann. You may no longer need to LP infants <28 days if they meet @pecarn.bsky.social low risk criteria! buff.ly/3ngdS5R #PedSky #PedsEM #FOAMed #MedSky

Teens rarely volunteer info about substance use—but many will answer if you ask. Normalize the conversation.
#PedsEM #SUD

We can’t separate youth mental health from substance use.

Most teens vape or use not just for fun—but to cope.
#PedsEM #MentalHealth

If a teen opens up to you about substance use—pause and listen.

The moment they disclose is often the moment they’re ready for change.

Respond with empathy, not alarm. Then guide them toward help.

#TraumaInformedCare #PedsEM

Spring = academic pressure + burnout.

Teens are stressed, tired, and too often coping alone.

Ask how they’re really doing. Mental health support now can prevent crisis later.

Tick season is starting early in many regions.

Remind families:

Use repellent

Wear long sleeves

Check skin daily

And yes, Lyme can start with just fatigue or joint pain.

Spring sports = more overuse injuries.

We’re seeing stress fractures, sprains, and growth plate injuries in the ED.

Encourage cross-training & rest days—especially for early adolescents.

#YouthAthletics #PedsEM

Spring is here—and so are asthma exacerbations.

ED visits spike when pollen counts rise. Keep asthma action plans current & educate families on early symptom recognition.

I’m a #PedsEM doc who wants to improve knowledge translation through #FOAMed. I love exploring seemingly unrelated topics and finding ways to integrate them into what I do. I spent a month in culinary school during med school. It was awesome. Recent accomplishment: spending more time outdoors.

Hello to all the new followers! I'm a #PedsEM doc, #FOAMed enthusiast, and podcast host who loves critical appraisal, evidence-based medicine, and nerdy discussions. Also love #disastermedicine, #AI, #SciComm. Always skeptical and curious. Looking forward to learning from everyone! #MedSky #PedSky
