Paediatric, emergency and nephrology clinicians get a structured approach to vomiting, diarrhoea, reduced urine output and hypovolaemic dehydration.

S7 Ep181: INTERN BOOTCAMP: Go with the High Flow: Bronchiolitis with Dr. Brian Alverson

Paediatric, emergency and acute-care clinicians get a high-value bronchiolitis review.

S7 Ep180: INTERN BOOTCAMP: Febrile Infants - When Babies Are Too Hot

S7 Ep179: INTERN BOOTCAMP: New Kids on the Block: Care of the Well Baby in the Newborn Nursery

S7 Ep178: Live! Transitions of Care: From Cribsiders to Curbsiders

Young people with medical complexity need transition planning before the final transfer appointment. The teaching is concrete: clarify family roles, consent, equipment, medication refills, adult primary care links and transfer summaries so care is not lost between paediatric and adult systems.

S7 Ep177: Hip, Hip… Oh No! Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip

Hip click, uneven crawling, leg-length concern or breech history need an age-based hip assessment rather than reassurance alone. This is the paediatric and general practice choice for Ortolani, Barlow, abduction, Galeazzi sign, ultrasound, x-ray and Pavlik harness decisions.

S7 Ep176: Before Bile Stops: Biliary Atresia

Open this first because persistent neonatal jaundice is time-sensitive and easy to mislabel as breast milk jaundice. At the two-week review, check scleral jaundice and stool colour, then order fractionated bilirubin; direct bilirubin 1 mg/dL or more needs urgent specialist input.
