Peds hemolytic/cardiac/neuro

Specialties PICU

Published

Anyone know of any good websites regarding pediatric hemolytic disease, cardiac defects, and neuro disorders? Google makes my eyes cross with the number of websites it pops out :) It's the hardest part of our semester and I want to be solid on it going into the test.

Or any easy ideas on remembering all of the six million cardiac defects newborns are born with?

Thanks

No kidding about the defects! I work in a PICU that does cardiac surgery and never cease to be amazed at the million and one ways one can be born with a jacked up heart!

A site I often send parents and students to is this: The Heart House - Children's Heart Institute

Each defect is illustrated as a house- the chambers are rooms, the septa are walls and the valves are doors. If you're at all a visual learner, this should help.

I moved this to PICU I think you might get better help here.

Wow, that's a really wide net you've cast, motay68. There are probably two dozen hematologic disorders that are relatively common and maybe three or four dozen neuro disorders. The others have covered cardiac pretty well.

Hematology/oncology reference: https://www.luriechildrens.org/en-us/care-services/specialties-services/hematology-oncology-stem-cell-transplantation/conditions/Pages/index.aspx

Neurological reference: Neurological Disorders of Infancy and Childhood

Each of these gives an overview of common disorders, assessments and treatment.

Thanks guys! I know it's a broad range. Once we got into course content I kissed what little free time I had left goodbye :) At least it's interesting topics so I isn't such a hardship to dig into.
