Pediatric Emergencies — Part 5: Common Surgical Emergencies, Trauma & Neonatal Emergencies
Intussusception, pyloric stenosis, testicular torsion, PECARN head CT and abdominal trauma decision rules, solid organ injury non-operative management, non-accidental trauma screening, neonatal emergencies including hypoglycemia, congenital heart disease with PGE1, hyperbilirubinemia, and a comprehensive pediatric medication dosing reference table.
Pediatric Emergencies — Part 4: Neurologic, Metabolic & Fluid Emergencies
Febrile seizure evaluation, status epilepticus protocol with stepwise treatment, clinical dehydration assessment, WHO dehydration classification, ORT protocol, IV fluid calculation with Holliday-Segar rule, hyponatremia correction, and pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis management including 2-bag system and cerebral edema monitoring.
Pediatric Emergencies — Part 3: Pediatric Sepsis & Febrile Infant Evaluation
Pediatric sepsis recognition with age-specific SIRS criteria, sepsis resuscitation protocol, vasopressor selection, antibiotic guidance, febrile infant risk stratification by age, Rochester-Philadelphia-Boston criteria comparison, PECARN febrile infant rule, and neonatal CSF interpretation.
Pediatric Emergencies — Part 2: Pediatric Respiratory Emergencies
Croup scoring and management, bronchiolitis evaluation and supportive care, acute asthma severity classification and stepwise treatment, anaphylaxis recognition and epinephrine dosing, and foreign body aspiration management.
Pediatric Emergencies — Part 1: Pediatric Assessment & Resuscitation (PALS)
Pediatric vital signs by age, pediatric assessment triangle, weight estimation, PALS algorithms for pulseless arrest, bradycardia, and tachycardia, weight-based medication dosing, defibrillation energy, and equipment sizing.
Pediatric Peripheral IV Access: Age-Specific Technique, Site Selection, and Pain Management
Complete guide to pediatric peripheral IV access: age-specific site selection (neonate to adolescent), scalp vein placement in infants, pain management (EMLA, LMX, vapocoolant, sucrose), gauge selection, restraint considerations, and family-centered care.
NICU Vascular Access: Umbilical Catheters, Neonatal PICC, and Peripheral IV in Neonates
Complete NICU vascular access guide: umbilical arterial and venous catheters (UAC/UVC), neonatal PICC lines, neonatal peripheral IV, gestational age considerations, skin protection, heparin-free protocols, and light protection for neonatal PN.
Vascular Access in the NICU: A Parent's Guide
A parent's guide to vascular access in the NICU — explaining umbilical catheters, neonatal PICC lines, and peripheral IVs in newborns: why they are placed, what they look like, how they are cared for, and how parents can help protect them.
Guide for Parents and Caregivers of Children with IV Lines
A guide for parents and caregivers of children receiving IV therapy or living with a vascular access device — communicating with children about IVs, managing needle fear, age-appropriate activity and school, home catheter care, and caring for yourself as a caregiver.
Foundations of Clinical Practice and Specialized Population Management
This comprehensive guide outlines evidence-based principles of vascular access and infusion therapy across the lifespan, including neonatal, pediatric, obstetric, and geriatric populations. It covers regulatory compliance, ethical practice, device selection, infusion accuracy, and population-specific risks such as DEHP exposure, DIVA management, pregnancy-related hypercoagulability, and geriatric polypharmacy. Designed for clinicians, nurses, and vascular access specialists, this resource supports safe, patient-centered decision-making aligned with current standards of care.
Foundations of Clinical Practice and Specialized Population Management
Establishes the foundational principles governing the administration of infusion therapy and the management of vascular access devices across all specialized patient populations, including pediatric, neonatal, obstetric, and geriatric cohorts.
Umbilical Catheter Management in Neonates
Establishes standards for umbilical arterial catheter (UAC) and umbilical venous catheter (UVC) indications, antisepsis, tip positioning, imaging confirmation, securement, complication surveillance, and removal in neonatal patients.
