Headaches in the paediatric population are challenging for all healthcare professionals and particularly so for paramedics.
Skilled assessment is required as potential causes range from benign to life threatening and management varies from basic analgesia to emergency medical interventions.
Rare, but potentially life threatening causes of headaches in children include intracranial haemorrhage, meningococcal septicaemia, space occupying lesions and pseudotumour cerebri, also known as idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).
Management involves identifying red flags on patient assessment and history and commencing medical treatment.
The following child nursing module will discuss headaches in children. It begins with an overview of causes and the clinical classifications of a headache. It will then review a focused paediatric patient assessment and highlight red flags, which may suggest a severe condition and potential for patient deterioration. Clinical scenarios will be used to consolidate learning. The module discusses pre-hospital care for those working in the primary healthcare environment or working as emergency first responders.
This module is aimed at any nurse working with children, be it in the hospital setting, as an emergency responder or the primary health care setting.
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
