About this listen

Your child has been vomiting and you make the decision to go to the ED. But when you get there, why is no one rushing to put a drip in and give them IV fluids? This is a common expectation, and Nurse Meeya gives you the Paeds ED POV as to why that is, and what is usually done instead as first line treatment. This show doesn't go into the red flags of vomiting and signs to look for. Stay tuned for that in upcoming episodes. Again, not given as medical advice. Please go to your GP or ED for your concerns.
