First Pediatrics

Christopher Demas, MD

First Pediatrics is the first podcast of its kind that brings you bite-sized, case-based episodes made for and by residents. In each episode, we will discuss the management of common problems seen on the pediatric wards. As residents, we know what it feels like to encounter these types of situations for the first time and want to make it easier for you. We hope you consider joining and continue your journey throughout residency with us! Disclamer: The cases in First Pediatrics are hypothetical cases inspired by real patient encounters. The use of this podcast should be for educational purposes only.

Hyperbilirubinemia can be worrisome since it can range from being completely normal to life threatening. In this episode we are going to review the pathophysiology of bilirubin production, create a diagnostic schema for hyperbilirubinemia, and provide our management approaches to this problem. You might not know where to start, so let us give you some direction!

Pediatric Sepsis

Sepsis has traditionally been difficult to understand as an early learner, which makes it all the more intimidating since we all know how serious it is. Our goal during this episode is for you to better understand what sepsis is, how to identify it quickly, and the checklists we follow to manage a patient meeting sepsis criteria.
