About

This course provides an overview of neonatal medical emergencies, including a framework for thinking about the undifferentiated ill neonate. The key points explained are: - Neonates often present with nonspecific symptoms of illness. Keep an open mind and a broad differential, and let your exam, laboratory data and imaging narrow it down. - Use the MISFITS mnemonic as a framework to think through the differential diagnosis for sick neonates. - Know your resources and capabilities. Many neonatal emergencies require transfer to a pediatric tertiary care center.
