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.

Four-year-old Fern is a previously healthy girl who presents with a febrile illness and seizures. Seizure activity did not respond to either first or second-line treatments, so she needed rapid sequence induction and transfer to PICU for ongoing anaesthesia and management. What causes Super Refractory Status Epilepticus?

We have previously discussed hypothermia presentations , GBS infections , and HSV infections. Fortunately, we have addressed many neonatal issues in the PedEMMorsels. Obviously, one of the most concerning considerations in neonates is the potential for infection. Can identify T. pallidum before antibodies against it can be detected.

1 Seizures may occur due to lowered seizure threshold. 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. 6 Seizures have been observed and are dose-dependent.
