TEN-360: Critically Ill Child

Paediatric Emergencies: Assessment and Acute Management

Introduction

It is easy to miss the seriously ill child who presents with subtle clinical findings or to feel uncomfortable when required to manage the seriously ill child. At the workshop we will explore the signs of paediatric serious illness and the emergency management of the child fever/sepsis, surgical emergency, severe dehydration/shock, status epilepticus, trauma and severe respiratory distress.

The eLearning introduces the important principles relating to recognising and treating the seriously ill child, and provide the foundation for the clinical scenarios discussed in the workshop.

The modules are designed to be completed prior to attending the workshop. You should allow 60 - 90 mins to complete each of the modules.

The prelearning explores the following topics:

1. Red Flags for Serious Illness

2. Assessment of the Seriously Ill Child

3. Management of Paediatric Meningitis
