Program Overview
US Hospitals have seen a sharp rise in the number of pediatric patients suffering from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). This has resulted in a significant increase in overall bronchiolitis and pediatric emergency room visits and admissions. Differentiating between bronchiolitis, croup, and asthma in children can be challenging for primary care clinicians. Wheezing, Barking, and Crackles: Best Practice Treatment for Common Pediatric Respiratory Emergencies is an online CME course focused on the key parts of care that should occur in the community setting in managing and evaluating children with these conditions. The evidence behind early steroid delivery and High Flow Nasal Cannula, as well as red flag history and physical exam findings, will be explored in this course to help clinicians develop an organized approach to treatment.
Presented by Sujit Iyer, MD, Wheezing, Barking, and Crackles: Best Practice Treatment for Common Pediatric Respiratory Emergencies was recorded at the 7th Annual Emergency & Urgent Care Medicine for Primary Care Provider Conference in San Diego, CA. Continuing Education Company has been organizing Primary Care and Family Medicine focused conferences for over 30 years. Dr. Sujit Iyer is Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Program Director of the Pediatric Emergency Medicine Fellowship at The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School.
Learning Objectives:
As a result of this educational activity, participants should be better able to:
- Develop a structured assessment to differentiate between asthma, croup and bronchiolitis in the young child.
- Implement best practices in pediatric asthma management in the community ED setting that will improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary variation in care.
- Incorporate evidence based recommendations on risk stratification and escalating respiratory therapy for infants with bronchiolitis.
