knowing ‘what’ to do is easy, 'making it happen’ is hard.
YOU must make it happen
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Saline acceptable as early resus fluid, but balanced fluids such as plasmalyte arguably better
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Don’t guess what to give. Use an online drug calculator.
I like this

#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
how many docs to get a paed IV?
2/limb cannulating + 1 at head (saying all is fine) = MADNESS
Use an IO!!
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014
Neonates.
Admit for obs
If still in doubt admit.
If still in doubt admit and tx for sepsis.
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
IV access is tough in sick kids.
You’re not as good as you think.
2 IV tries then use an IO.
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Great resource for learning how to spot sick kids

#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
We cannot absolve ourselves of responsibility to treat critically ill children through fear.
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
As generalists look for similarities between paed and adult care as well as differences
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
The dogma that ‘Children are not little adults’ can paralyse clinicians who fear children.
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
..but incidence of severe sepsis low so diff. to be ‘expert'

#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Most sick kids are in non-PICU hospitals - we must resuscitate
them.

#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Audit data shows that we miss resus targets in 60% of paeds sepsis cases.

#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Easy to know ‘WHAT’ to do in 1st hour.
Making it happen is harder…why?
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
After 60ml/Kg fluids should be planning for inotropes +/- ventilation.
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Early
1. recognition
2. O2 & IV/IO access
3. antibiotics
4. fluid resus
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Lots of guidance exists for 1st hour management. All have 4 features.
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Aggressive sepsis mx great for adults - kids too
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
A competent resuscitationist can, should & must be able to manage first hour of paeds sepsis.
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
Front door management of sepsis in kids talk starting now
#paedsepsisEM #retrieval2014 @retrieval2014
