The big social account for our little website on all things paediatric anaesthesia. http://justlittleadults.com
But also a very practical set of tips and tricks from folks who put central lines in paediatric patients all the time made its way to the blog. #ansky #pedsanes Maybe use some of the ideas (or share your own). www.justlittleadults.com/topical-anae...
Central (Line) Station — Just Little Adults
There are lots of things that are central to the identify of a paediatric anaesthetist. Most of us think children are pretty ace. We are generally not scared away by having to keep a close eye on pati...

But wait, there’s more (because value for your no money is what we’re about)… on the link right here you can find resources on types of lines, positioning lines and the approach to brachiocephalic insertion. #ansky #pedsanes www.justlittleadults.com/central-veno...

And for me (it’s AW on at the moment) when I had an elective CT scan list it was often surprising how even seemingly straightforward induction with easy FMV was associated with some gas in the stomach (which also —> nausea etc surely).

In the more straightforward scenario it is pretty common practice either after initial care or if you have had to go back to bagging to use an NG to decompress as an interim step to aid re-oxygenation.

In the meantime we noticed we had not mentioned the role of NG etc in these kids and will be updating the post to reflect that point.

Has some upsides. Can be an issue with seal if in for preoxygenation etc.

Either message here or the bottom of each page on the site has an email link :)

It’d be great to hear how things went for you (feel free to message or contact another way if you’d rather not here).

Initiating treatment for the underlying cause for oedema might also help. Somewhat assuming other things like NIV were already being tried.
