Learning Points of the Pediatric Hematology Oncology Podcast:

  • Early administration of antibiotics (within 60 min) in patients with fever and neutropenia is life saving

  • Fever in sickle cell is an emergency and always requires cultures and abx even if the child appears well

  • We didn’t discuss the bleeding hemophilia patient however please remember to give their FACTOR first before sending them to CT scan

  • Avoid sedation, lying supine and steroids in patients with mediastinal masses

  • Red flags in patients with headaches that may suggest a brain tumor  include signs of increased intracranial pressure, focal neurological signs, seizures or ataxia
