Targeted Temperature Management in Paediatric Traumatic Brain Injury

Don't Forget the Bubbles

Targeted temperature management (TTM) is the induction of varying degrees of patient temperature targeting within Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU): Therapeutic hypothermia- induction of varying degrees of hypothermia. What are the potential complications of therapeutic hypothermia? It can also increase blood pressure.

ToxCard: Second Generation Antipsychotic Overdose

EMDocs

1,2 Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) (hyperthermia, autonomic instability, rigidity, altered mental status [AMS]) can occur as well and is most often seen with clozapine but has been observed with other atypicals. Rigidity and hyperthermia should raise concerns for NMS. 1 Seizures may occur due to lowered seizure threshold.

Hyperthermia and ST Elevation

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

I remember Allie well from her days in the Research volunteer program at Hennepin. Pediatric and elderly patients were more predisposed to developing an arrhythmic event in the setting of fever [7]. This case provides an excellent example of a “pseudo-infarction” ECG produced by a hyperthermia-induced Brugada-1 ECG pattern.

Congenital Syphilis

Pediatric EM Morsels

We have previously discussed hypothermia presentations , GBS infections , and HSV infections. The post Congenital Syphilis appeared first on Pediatric EM Morsels. Fortunately, we have addressed many neonatal issues in the PedEMMorsels. Obviously, one of the most concerning considerations in neonates is the potential for infection.

Single ventricle defects and the hunt for the best shunt

Don't Forget the Bubbles

The JET is treated by deepening sedation (to minimise exogenous and endogenous catecholamines), optimizing electrolytes and active mild hypothermia. Researchers also looked at neurodevelopmental status three years after the operation. The LCOS is treated with careful IV fluid boluses and low-dose adrenaline. 2014;165(3):490-496.e8.
