How can volume overload be reliably excluded at the bedside?

📊 This Rational Clinical Examination evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of clinical examination, radiographic imaging, and laboratory testing in assessing volume overload in nonintubated patients.

Videos of point-of-care ultrasound demonstrate assessment of several clinical scenarios.

CASE STUDY
When Access Fails: Challenges in Pediatric Medevac Transport - https://ow.ly/l8R950Yh9p7

Pediatric critical care transport presents unique challenges, particularly when resources are limited, and patient conditions are compounded by inadequate initial management.

This case report describes the MEDEVAC of a 9-year-old seizure patient from a resource-limited facility in the Lower Antilles. The patient had been intubated without sedation and was receiving ineffective analgesia and sedation due to an infiltrated intravenous (IV) line.

This case highlights the importance of systematic assessment, adaptability in resource-constrained environments, and the critical role of prehospital teams in ensuring safe and effective transport.
