Read on your case Use Nelsons and Navarro Use CPGs We will ask theoretical questions too. MAKE SURE TO READ ALL THE MODE OF ACTIONS OF ALL THE DRUGS GIVEN TO YOUR PATIENTS
How to endorse patient? Endorsing patient, (Name, age, weight) Who came in due to (Chief complaint) With the Current diagnosis of: On his/her ___ Hospital Day, ___ Day of illness ___ hours/days afebrile Then start with the subjective complains…..
Case Presentation With Dr. Carin either via Zoom or Face-to-face One for NMDs and one for IMDs All clerks should know the history and PE Let the RIC/coordinator check your powerpoint the day before your report Include course in the ward in the reporting upto the last time you saw the patient before the presentation ‹#›
TIPS on making powerpoint Do not use FULL sentences Just put bullets 6 lines only per slide Use generic name for drugs (open close brand) Compute for mkd or mkD if there are medications Example: 4 days PTA Intermittent fever, Tmax 39C Associated with productive cough… Given Paracetamol (Tempra) 250mg/5ml, 5ml (13mkd) every 4 hours With temporary relief
TIPS on making powerpoint If there are lab results, pls put all findings in a tabular form Follow the proper sequence as mentioned in slide 21 F or the SOAP, you may tabulate, example S O A P (+) fever VS PE Dengue with WS Fever = Paracetamol Low plt= monitor cbc
Other reminders Do not get the charts from the station Do not take a picture from the chart Relay labs with interpretation and correlation with your patient; include previous result if available Example Hgb 132 (120) Hct 0.45 (0.39) Rbc 4.5 (4.6) Wbc 2.3 (2.2)
Just ask, don’t be shy! ☺ ‹#›

Common Pediatric Drugs Drug Common Preparation Available forms Dose and Frequency Amoxicillin 125mg/5ml 250mg/5ml 50mg/ml (drops) 60ml 60ml 20ml 20-50mkD q 8-12 PO 80-90mkD for otitis media Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (Co-amoxiclav) 200mg /28.5mg/5ml 400mg /57mg/5ml 70ml 20-45mkD q8-12 PO Azithromycin 100mg/5ml 200mg/5ml 10mkD OD x 3 days 10mkD OD 1 st day, 5mkD OD x 4 days Cefaclor 125mg/5ml 250mg/5ml 20-40mkD q8-12 PO Cefixime 100mg/5ml 20mg/ml 8mkD q12-24 PO Neloson’s Pediatrics 20 th ed. ‹#›
TAKE NOTE In computing Coamoxiclav, only use the amoxicllin component, do not include the clavulanic acid e g . if Coamoxiclav 457/5, 400 is amoxicillin, 57 is clavulanic acid So only divide with 400mg
Common Oral Pediatric Drugs Drug Common Preparation Available forms Dose and Frequency Cefuroxime oral 125mg/5ml 20-30mkD q8 PO Clarithromycin 125mg/5ml 250mg/5ml 15 mkD q12 PO Clindamycin 75mg/5ml 10-40mkD q8-q12 Co-trimoxazole (TMP-SMZ) 40mg /200mg/5ml 80mg /400mg tab 6-20mkD TMP q12 Erythromycin 125mg/5ml 250mg/5ml 100/ml 60ml 60ml 10ml 30-50mkD q 6-8 Metronidazole 125mg/5ml 30mkD q6-8 Acyclovir 200mg/5ml 20mkd q6 x 5 days Sultamicillin 250mg/5ml 25-50MKD q12 Neloson’s Pediatrics 20 th ed. ‹#›

Computations ml = weight x mkD/mkd x per ml ___ mg (suspension) Example : 12kgs Paracetamol 10-15mkd ml = 12kg (15) x 5 250 = 3.6 ml or 3.5 ml Neloson’s Pediatrics 20 th ed. How to countercheck? 3.5ml = 12kg (mkd) x 5 250 mkd = 3.5ml (250) 12 x 5 =14.58 mkd ‹#›
Computations Example : 12kgs Amoxicllin 20-50mkD q8 ml = 12kg (30) x 5 250 = 7.2 ml for the whole day 3 (since q8) = 2.4 ml or 2.5ml every 8 hrs Neloson’s Pediatrics 20 th ed. How to check? 2.5ml x 3 = 7.5ml 7.5ml = 12kg (mkD) x 5 250 mkD = 7.5(250) 250x5 =31.25mkD ‹#›
Computations Example : 12kgs Cefuroxime 100mkD q8 mg = 12kg (100mkD) = 1200 3 (since q8) = 400 mg IVTT q8 Neloson’s Pediatrics 20 th ed. How to check? 400mg x 3 = 1200 mkD= 1200 12kgs =100mkD ‹#›
TAKE NOTE In counterchecking IV medications and tablet, directly divide with the weight No preparation needed Ex: paracetamol 500mg/tab, 50kgs patient 500mg/50kg= 10mkd

Fluids and Electrolytes How to compute? ‹#›
Holiday Segar Alam niyo na yan! :) The maximum Total Fluid per day is 2,400 ml. If with dehydration 24 hr fluid= maintenance + deficit subtract IV fluid already administered Neloson’s Pediatrics 19 th ed. page 247 Dehydration <10 kgs >10kgs mild 50 30 moderate 100 60 severe 150 90 ‹#›
Fluid Computation Example: 12kgs came in with vomiting x 8 and LBM x7; seen tachycardic, sunken eyeballs, dry lips Compute for the Holiday Segar 2kgs X 50 = 100 + 1000 (from the 10kgs) 1,100 Deficit: 12kgs X 60=720 Neloson’s Pediatrics 20 th ed. ‹#›
Total fluid: 1100+720=1,820 In the ER, you gave 20cc/kg bolus (240) So, 1,820- 240=1,580 1,580 / 24 hrs= 65 cc/hr the maximum fluid rate is usually 100cc/hr Neloson’s Pediatrics 20 th ed. ‹#›
