PicPod 37 continues our theme of international interviews on the theme of Covid.
Martin Kneyber is a paediatric intensivist from Groningen in the Netherlands, Chair of scientific affairs of ESPNIC, and lead author of the just published guidelines on mechanical ventilation in Covid children.
Jimena del Castillo is a paediatric intensivist from Madrid, and chair of the ESPNIC resuscitation section. Or should I say “used to be a paediatric intensivist”? She has been treating adults for the past few weeks.
In PicPod 37 we discuss how to treat these children on intensive care. Should we use NIV, and when should we intubate? What PEEP should we use? What fluid balance should we aim for? Why does proning work? What about nitric or anticoagulation? What fluid status should we aim for? What are the resuscitation protocols?
And what can we learn from treating adults, and what could AICU learn from us?
Back soon with another Covid PicPod.
