Covid-19 is everything at the moment. Much of the world has been affected: the parts which have not are about to be. But what about seriously ill children?
For PicPod 36 we have a discussion between your regular PicPod-ers and three guests from around the world who have all been significantly affected by Covid19:
From Genova, Italy, Dr Andrea Moscatelli, clinical director of the PIC at the Gaslini Children’s Hospital
From Paris, France, Dr Laurent Dupic , consultant in PIC at the Necker-Enfants Malades Hospital
From Conneticut, USA, Dr Josep Panisello, medical director of the PIC at the Yale School of Medicine
What kind of children are presenting with Covid-19 to PIC? What ages, which co-morbidities? How are they doing? What strategies, both organisational and clinical are needed? What are the major challenges? What treatment strategies are being used? What clinical pitfalls are being found? Why do children do so much better than adults? Should we be treating with anticoagulants, or looking at interleukins?
It’s a long one, but worth it. Back very soon with more Covid-19 themed podcasts.
