About
The website describes a medical simulation case about non-accidental trauma in infants, focusing on a 1-month-old baby boy who is seizing. It highlights the importance of managing seizures, considering head injuries from possible abuse, and conducting a septic work-up. The scenario guides healthcare teams through treating the infant's condition, including airway management and consulting child protection services. The educational goals are to teach effective team leadership during critical care situations and to communicate concerns about potential abuse sensitively with parents. Key actions include recognizing injury signs and preparing for intubation if needed.
