2. 4 month old with chronic constipation

   Pedi-ER-RN replied to jprn05's topic in Pediatric

   our docs recommend dark kayro syrup in each bottle. but...i do think this child needs a better workup and referral to a peds GI ASAP! If you dont get anything out of your primary pedi..move on and get in with a specialist.

   Pedi-ER-RN replied to luckylucyrn's topic in NICU

   In our ER, we push both of them each over 3-5 min. Most of the docs do 50mg/kg/dose, so the dosages are the same. Our policy for gent is 30 min and Vanc is 1 hr.

   Pedi-ER-RN replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

   Well, working in a children's ER shields me from some of the stupid crap people ask, but we still get our share of crap because we also do OB/GYN. I am so tired of people calling asking "Should I bring my baby (8yrs) in??", I start off my answer with...

9. trachealmalasia

   Pedi-ER-RN replied to peds77's topic in Pediatric

    Pedi-ER-RN replied to tweety55's topic in Emergency

    Our patients are seen initially by the triage nurse and usually sent back out to the waiting room to get a chart made. They only come straight back if their condition warrants it. I couldn't imagine taking pts straight back (would be a big HA where I...
