2 year old kid has comes in with respiratory distress, hypotensive, 37.7C, coughing, 98% saturation RX with o2. DX is laryngotracheobronchitis, he begins to decline and 92% sat with 40RPM….
whats the next step?
Give racemic epinephrine in cases of croup before intubation
Epi: acts by a adrenergic(reduce bronchial secretions/ mucosal edema) and beta adrenergic (relax smooth muscle)
Immunizations in kids should be given according to
chronological age
