The clue to these is very much in the Title – BRUE is a diagnosis in itself. Children often do weird stuff, but they rarely do weird scary stuff.
In this talk, Jilly goes talks through how we can define these events as high and low risk and gives us tools to manage these patients (and their parents)
Along with colleagues, Jilly has written a guideline for BRUE, the full version of which you can find here
Jilly also mentions a flowchart from Peds Cases, which you can find here
There is also this superb blog post from Natalie May on the St Emlyn's website which accompanies this podcast, which goes through some really useful cases.
As a Wessex ST7 in Paediatric Emergency Medicine (RCPCH), Jilly Boden currently works in Queen Alexandra Hospital (Portsmouth). Her specialist interests include acute stabilisation and transfer of the critically ill patient, having spent a year with the 'Southampton & Oxford Retrieval Team' (SORT) and hopes to find a way of combining this with her future PEM career.
Jilly has a passion for education, particularly 'PEM to the non-paediatrician', including international teaching of the tri-service military GPs, and being on the national committee to write a new standardised paramedic paediatric curriculum.
In her free time (you know, apart from the kids and all that) she works as part of the track medical team for the 'British Motorcycle Racing Club', providing pre-hospital care to high velocity polytrauma patients in the 'golden hour' following collisions often exceeding 120mph.
