Seeing a kid and things aren't quite adding up? Think glucose - DKA & hypoglycaemia can be easy to treat and easy to miss #paedstips

Get parents on side: you can never calm a child while mum and dad are anxious. (H/T @richardbody)

#PaedsTips #smaccGOLD
Assume nothing! Ask child who they’ve brought, or open with “are you a relative?” (H/T @blackburnmike)
November 25, 2024 at 9:49 AM
#PaedsTips #smaccGOLD Acknowledge parents’ concerns, frustrations & fears, especially new parents (take the time to ask how it’s going)

Safety netting is essential: never make people feel bad for being worried. It’s part of being a parent. (1/2)

#PaedsTips #smaccGOLD
Offer to see teenagers alone for a part of the consultation; tell parents it’s your normal practice.

#PaedsTips #smaccGOLD
Sick, scared, tired and injured children regress developmentally. Invest time in preparation and explanation.

#PaedsTips #smaccgold
Toddlers transition from fear of strangers to fear of separation from parents. V easy to manifest both fears in ED.

#PaedsTips #smaccGOLD For younger children invest time in parents first – get them onside. Explain the importance of what you need to do.

#PaedsTips #smaccGOLD
Kids rarely fake it: they’d rather be anywhere than waiting around in the ED. Take their symptoms seriously
