Clinical Protocols & Pearls
Account for line dead space in neonates and small infants to deliver intended doses.
Guide favors Microcuff where appropriate; routinely monitor cuff pressure below 20 cmH₂O.
The guide prioritizes Broselow-style color-coded length-based estimation when available in acute settings.
Dissociative anesthesia with possible nystagmus, increased secretions and emergence phenomena. The guide describes anticholinergic and midazolam adjunct strategies.
Guide describes indication-specific glycopyrrolate/atropine, lignocaine and dexamethasone strategies. Their regimens are listed in the Adjuncts category.
