ER visits/year in U.S. - Costly, approx. $53 million/year - Scary disease due to airway obstruction - Para-influenza most common - Classically, kids are admitted after 2 racemic epinephrine nebulizers         - Dr. Hester studied croup and hospitalization (see resources below)         - Kids admitted, and no further treatment or intervention (observed) Presentation and treatment - Rhinorrhea, low grade fever, barky cough (seal bark)- Inspiratory stridor, usually worse when agitated - Rarely insp and exp stridor (if progressed disease state) - Dexamethason 0.6 mg/kg (max dose of 12-16 mg) - Nebulized racemic epinephrine (RA)       - bridge for steroid to kick in      - reserved for stridulous patient - Think about croup mimics       - not responding to racemic epinephrine       - older kids (i.e. 7 yr old), think about other diagnoses       - Epiglottitis            - cough is less barky            - respiratory distress and tripoding            - thumb print sign       - Bacterial tracheitis            - can be complication of viral croup            - can quickly decompensate - Foreign body, airway anomalies, etc. TREATMENT: - cool outdoor air can be soothing, no good studies to support - humidified air - imaging can be done (steeple sign on AP neck) but not routinely required         - Worried about foreign body? Epiglottitis?         - not responding to racemic epi         - CXR if hypoxia. Not typical of croup to be hypoxia.Research (links below) - Most kids don't need further treatment after ED course. -

The epiglottis is the toilet seat of the airway. That's a useful function. But what if becomes so swollen and inflamed that it leads to airway obstruction and respiratory failure. That's bad. That's also what epiglottitis is. You can also call it supraglottitis. Either way you need to recognize this potentially life threatening malady and […]

Für Eltern und Kind ist eine Atemnotsituation bei „viralem Krupp“ etwas sehr Beängstigendes. Experte PD Dr. Tobias Ankermann, Kinderpneumologe und Chefarzt der Städtischen Kinderklinik in Kiel, hebt im Gespräch mit Moderator Dr. Axel Enninger hervor, was wichtig ist, wenn die Regio subglottis bei einem kleinen Kind infektionsbedingt anschwillt. Zunächst heißt es Ruhe ausstrahlen, unnötige Interventionen vermeiden und das Kind mit dem typischen bellenden „Krupphusten“ und inspiratorischen Stridor aufrecht hinsetzen. Doch welche Differenzialdiagnosen sollte man ausschließen und was sind Warnzeichen für eine Verschlechterung? Spielt Feinstaub tatsächlich eine Rolle und gibt es Evidenz für verbreitete Tricks wie die Zufuhr feucht-kühler Luft? Gut zu wissen: Die meisten Fälle sind mit Glukokortikoiden, am besten als Saft gegeben, gut beherrschbar.

Epiglottitis is a life threatening inflammation of the epiglottis, classically caused by Haemophilus influenzae (Hib), but other pathogens can cause it too, and should especially be considered if an immunised individual presents with epiglottitis.  The most important thing initially is to avoid distressing the child, as this could worsen airway obstruction. It is an emergency and requires early escalation in order to secure an airway. Listen in to find out more about the presentation, management and other causative pathogens!   Links and resources: Follow us on Instagram @yourekiddingrightdoctors Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourekiddingrightpod-107273607638323/ Our email is yourekiddingrightpod@gmail.com Make sure you hit SUBSCRIBE/FOLLOW so you don't miss out on any pearls of wisdom and RATE if you can to help other people find us!

Written By: Chris Cochrane Expert Review By: Dr. Nabeela Waja (Paediatrician) https://thegenerehlist.ca/2021/06/06/ccfp-key-topic-croup/ Objective 1: In patients with croup, Identify the need for respiratory assistance (e.g., assess ABCs, fatigue, somnolence, paradoxical breathing, in drawing) and provide that assistance when indicated.     Objective 2: Before attributing stridor to croup, consider other possible causes (e.g., anaphylaxis, foreign body (airway or esophagus), retropharyngeal abscess, epiglottitis). Objective 3: In any patient presenting with respiratory symptoms, look specifically for the signs and symptoms that differentiate upper from lower respiratory disease (e.g., stridor vs. wheeze vs. whoop). Objective 4: In a child presenting with a clear history and physical examination compatible with mild to moderate croup, make the clinical diagnosis without further testing (e.g., do not routinely X-ray). Objective 5: In patients with a diagnosis of croup, use steroids (do not under treat mild-to-moderate cases of croup). Objective 6: In a patient presenting with croup, address parental concerns (e.g., not minimizing the symptoms and their impact on the parents), acknowledging fluctuating course of the disease, providing a plan anticipating recurrence of the symptoms.

Dr. Diane Birnbaumer breaks down ED cases in which patients present common complaints, initially appearing benign, which mask serious illnesses. This episode comes from our Advanced EM Boot Camp Course which focuses on in-depth topics that will help you become a master practitioner.   Take the Advanced EM Boot Camp course online or live in Las Vegas — both versions are fully CME accredited and are guaranteed to help you provide the best care for your patients.   Learn more at https://courses.ccme.org/course/advancedbootcamp

In this episode, we cover the rare but life threatening Epiglottitis.  Highlights: Presentation not as you learned in medical school Vast majority do not need intubation, but for those that due it can be catastrophic Nasolaryngoscopy, Steroids, broad spectrum antibiotics and early airway plans are the way to go

This episode covers epiglottitis.Written notes can be found at https://zerotofinals.com/paediatrics/respiratory/epiglottitis/ or in the respiratory section in the Zero to Finals paediatrics.The audio in the episode was expertly edited by Harry Watchman.

Contributor: Michael Hunt, MD Educational Pearls: Due to the efficacy of vaccination, epiglottitis is now more common in adults than children Risk factors include smoking and other immunocompromising co-morbidities, such as diabetes Epiglottitis can present with sore throat and fever, with potential rapid progression to respiratory distress and stridor Diagnosis can include x-ray to look for the “thumbprint sign," nasofiberoptics, and/or CT Antibiotics are mainstay of treatment but severe cases may need establishment of a definitive airway, typically done with fiberoptics in the operating room due to the potential to irritate the epiglottitis with traditional laryngoscopy References Li RM, Kiemeney M.
