In this interactive, case-based breakout session, participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their antibiotic prescribing practices and hear the latest evidenced-based antimicrobial treatment recommendations for common paediatrics infections. Recognizing the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance worldwide, clinicians will learn strategies to advance antibiotic stewardship both individually and in their local work environments.

Learning Objectives

• Review antimicrobial treatment recommendations that support both effective and judicious use of antibiotics for common pediatric infections.
• Discuss the efficacy of intravenous versus oral antibiotics for the treatment of some common pediatric infections.
• Highlight tools that support antimicrobial stewardship in pediatric emergency medicine.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation, attendees should be able to:

• Recognize common patterns of pediatric hand injuries presenting to the emergency department
• Identify procedures which can be performed in the emergency department setting to manage acute pediatric hand injuries
• Determine the most appropriate method for immobilizing a hand injury

Paediatric Emergency Medicine Physicians are the front line providers for a breadth of undifferentiated clinical problems. Many of these presenting complaints, fall in the realm of allergic conditions. This session will explore the top 5 allergy misconceptions through the lenses of both patients and health care providers, providing the best available evidence around our understanding of the concepts, diagnosis and management.

Learning Objectives

 By the end of this session, participants will:

•  Be able to discuss common myths and misconceptions about common allergic problems.
• Develop an approach to educating patients/families and colleagues about these misconceptions.
• Discuss evidence-based approaches to problems where misconceptions exist.

Paediatric distal radius fractures are very common. The spectrum of injury ranges from fairly benign to more significant fractures that may require reduction and/or molding. During this workshop, review the breadth of injuries, understand the pros and cons of various ED treatment modalities, and appreciate why, when and how to mold. A splinting demonstration will be included.

Learning Objectives

• Describe the spectrum of pediatric distal radius fractures.
• Identify which fractures are less stable (more likely to shift).
• Describe various ED immobilization options for distal radius fractures.
• Match the various fractures with the appropriate splint.

A child walks into the emergency department with a rash – what do I do? This lecture aims to differentiate various presentations of common and life-threatening skin eruptions in the pediatric population, including important distinguishing features and initial management.

Learning Objectives

• Recognize common childhood skin conditions presenting to the emergency department
• Delineate between benign and life-threatening skin presentations
• Provide initial management, including referral where needed, for acute cutaneous eruptions in children
