mediccjh Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Being that I've stuck 4 sick kids in the past 2 days, I'll chime: O2, assist as needed. Pull out my trusty Broselow. IV. Check sugar. If low, give sugar. Fluid bolus. 5 day old, 10 mL/kg. See what happens. Get the tube ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Plain Ruff Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 remember you've already given glucose - You intubate this little bundle of pucker factor joy and assist his respirations - hence giving him a rest and doing the work for him. YOu also give him a 10ml/kg fluid bolus. What do you expect to see after these two procedures? You are now 5 minutes from the hospital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
