Yes,my first posting again...(repeating the encounter during first year of clinical)I can't deny that paeds and i have some sort of "attraction".Being posted in Paeds as first poster,add another level of stress aside from memorizing drug doses,management,knowing new people,getting a new house,buying and driving a new car(myVi)......OMG,the stressors are endless......
Today was another hectic day....an acute admission
2 years old Murut child came in with fever,cough and poor feeding for the pass 1 week.He is 10.6 kg,with general appearence of lethargy,dry mucous membrane and reduced skin turgor and capillary refill time...Fluid resuscitation was needed but the line just couldnt be set...the nurse looked at me and said"Doctor cuba la!"...I resorted to callling MO because there's no time to delay...after Dr F tried countless of attempt on peripherally,he then set the line at femoral vein....or else intraosseous....
How frustrated i was today because could find that tiny tiny little vein and the child was in dire need of fluid...I must master the art of taking blood and setting line in children,no matter how unbearble their cries and shouting and kicking and spitting.In the end of the road,regaining their health is the ultimate satisfaction....
