Rethinking Pediatric Trauma: Circulation Comes First

Yes, I understand

Drs Antevy and Piehl will discuss hot topics in pediatric trauma management, including prehospital transfusion and the priority of circulation in patients with hemorrhagic shock. Through a presentation of compelling real-world cases, lessons learned from agencies who are leading the way, and a review of the emerging literature, they will address some of the most important questions in prehospital trauma management for kids:
—Prehospital LTOWB for kids: Is it safe? At what age? Who needs it? How much?
—Calcium, TXA, when, what dose?
—Advanced airway? Who and when?
—IO? What is the best placement site?

Drug Wars, Pediatric Edition: Little Patients, Big Controversies

Yes, I understand

This session brings together an all-star panel of pediatric emergency physicians, intensivists, and pharmacist-paramedics for an unfiltered, evidence-driven debate on the most hot-button issues in pediatric pharmacotherapy. Pediatric resuscitation is filled with nuance, uncertainty, and strong opinions—from fluid choices and airway sedation to seizure control, analgesia, and post-arrest management.

In this high-stakes, high-energy session, experts will go head-to-head over what the latest data really says versus what happens in the trenches. Each round challenges conventional wisdom, dissects landmark studies, and tests long-standing assumptions about how we medicate our smallest, sickest patients. Expect fast-paced discussion, sharp clinical insights, and interactive audience voting as you help decide which approaches truly hold up under scrutiny. Whether you’re a pediatric specialist, prehospital provider, or critical care clinician, this session will challenge what you thought you knew about pediatric pharmacotherapy—and leave you armed with practical, evidence-based takeaways you can use on your next pediatric call.
