Summary

EM Basic is back with a re-broadcast from the awesome podcast Pediatric Emergency Playbook by Dr. Tim Horeczko. Tim is a double boarded in EM and Peds EM and works at Harbor-UCLA hospital. This was the first episode he published at the beginning of September and it is pure gold. Tim goes beyond the febrile neonate and talks about how to consider all possible causes for a sick infant- not just anchoring on sepsis the whole time! Tim presents a rational and systematic approach on how to deal with these young sick patients that get our anxiety and our adrenaline levels through the roof.

0:00.0	Hi everyone, this is Steve Carroll, and you're listening to the Em Basic Podcast.
0:05.2	Today's episode is a rebroadcast from a great podcast that got started in September called the Pediatric
0:10.8	Emergency Playbook.
0:12.5	Tim Hurechko is a PDM doc from Harbor UCLA who is trained in both EM and PDM, so he knows his

0:44.7	In fact, even though sepsis is by far the most common cause of sick neonate, sepsis is
0:49.8	the very last thing you should consider in these patients to make sure you don't miss other
0:53.6	diagnoses.
0:54.9	As always, this podcast has been represented to the views of opinion, support, defense,
0:57.5	the OS Army, the Charleston E. Emergency Program. With that said, here's Dr. Tim Horechko on the

1:16.7	Let me start by saying that Steve Carroll is the man.
1:21.5	As you well know, being a faithful listener to EM Basic, this guy works tirelessly to provide core content that helps us in our
