sick neonate

This episode for the emDocs Podcast covers the sick neonate, which can be frightening. Having an approach is the most important aspect. 

This week’s EM Educator brings you a case of a sick neonate and necrotizing enterocolitis.

Rapid evaluation and management of the sick neonate is a required skill for the emergency physician. Here we present a brief but comprehensive strategy for resuscitating and stabilizing the critically ill neonate as well as some mnemonics for help remembering the differential diagnosis.
