Antibx and resp: While flippant, generally most kids who are admitted to the hospital are suffering an infection of some kind or having respiratory issues. So antibiotics are huge.

Question 5

any good resources for paediatric nutrition - am not able to find anything here or on aap.org as some doctors on healthtap have recommended.  ?

Accepted Answer

Choosemyplate.gov: choosemyplate.gov is a good resource with broad guidance for diet at different age groups.  It doesn't seek to delve into controversial or loaded topics like specific nutrient choices, supplements or "superfoods," but rather focuses on overall calorie intake, balanced nutrition and avoidance of over-processed foods which is what we know promotes healthy development.  It doesn't address infants.

Question 9

how do you feel visiting paediatric cancer unit?

Accepted Answer

Personally I love: Visiting kids and helping parents to cope. Some of the brightest and saddest moments ocur there. Visitors need to decide if they can be there for the kids and their folks, and be respectful of them and their feelings. You are visitors, not health pros, and need empathetic enerrgy not problem solving intution. Humilty and compassion help.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Isolated VSD: Review of literature revealed that management of isolated VSD (ventricular septal defect)  in infant depends on 1) size of the defect. 2) Chance of spontaneous closure or decrease in size over time 3) Involvement of one or more cardiac valves 4) Difficulty and effectiveness of surgical closure. This is absolutely the field of pediatric cardiologist and heart surgeon.
