Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

309
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Nature and Nurture

Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurosurgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Subdural empyema involves pus in the subdural space, often affecting infants and children.
  • Common causes include bacterial meningitis in infants and sinusitis or otitis media in older children.
  • Symptoms range from fever and seizures to signs of meningitis and increased intracranial pressure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical profile, causes, imaging, and management of subdural empyema in children.
  • To synthesize current literature on pediatric subdural empyema.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of relevant studies on pediatric subdural empyema.
  • Discussion of clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis, imaging findings, and treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Subdural empyema is a critical neurosurgical condition demanding urgent diagnosis.
  • Clinical presentation is diverse, often mimicking or complicating meningitis.
  • Imaging is key for diagnosis and guiding management.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt recognition and surgical decompression (burr hole or craniotomy) are vital.
  • Complete pus evacuation and prolonged intravenous antibiotics are essential for successful treatment.
  • Effective management of subdural empyema in children prevents severe complications.
