Paediatric Burns: Basic assessment and management
Paediatric Dehydration Assessment
The most useful individual signs for predicting 5% dehydration in children are an abnormal capillary refill time, abnormal skin turgor and abnormal respiratory pattern. Combinations of examination signs provide a much better method than any individual signs in assessing the degree of dehydration.
Paediatric Hypothermia
Paediatric Hypothermia predisposition: radiation (large surface area to volume ratio, large head); convective (repeated examinations with exposure to atmosphere); conductive (loss of heat into bed); thermoregulatory response altered (sedation or paralysis, neurological injury)
Paediatric Trauma
Paediatric Trauma
Paediatric Traumatic Brain Injury
Paediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Priorities: precise assessment of brain injury + associated injury; protection against secondary brain injury; management of ICP

Tetralogy of Fallot
Tetralogy of Fallot: Large VSD; RV outflow tract obstruction; RV hypertrophy; and Overriding aorta
Acute Non-Traumatic Weakness
Acute non-traumatic weakness may occur as a result of a wide variety of underlying etiologies, many of which are life-threatening
Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis
Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis is an under-recognised progressive neurological disorder caused by antibodies against NR1-NR2 NMDA receptors; 60% of patients with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis have the presence of a tumour (most commonly teratoma)
Aseptic Meningitis
Aseptic Meningitis = meningeal inflammation with negative bacterial cultures.
