This session will cover one of those types of calls that strikes fear into every provider’s heart: the sick pediatric patient. We will cover one of the various forms of shock and then formulate different treatment strategies for them. These guys are scary because they can compensate tremendously well and for a long period of time before they suddenly decompensate and get very sick, very fast.

We are back with an entirely new batch of cases to test your knowledge and treatments. Selected actual case review presentations involving toxicological emergencies ( I can’t make this stuff up, I am not that creative and fact far outweighs fiction). Each participant will be given the patient’s presentation from the EMS perspective and then the case will be followed through the hospital course on to discharge. Participants will be given actual EKG tracings, scene photos, radiographic films, lab values, radio reports, and assessments to determine the case progression.

Most recent data shows that over 3500 patients are seen in hospital emergency departments for this problem every year in the United States. How can EMS recognize this problem?
