It’s time for another COVID-19 update! This time from PERN, the international Pediatric Emergency Research Network. Dr. Nate Kuppermann joins us to talk about a recently published study on kids with COVID. This multinational, prospective study looked at a large cohort of children who presented to EDs with COVID concerns. We discuss the findings, which kids we can feel good about discharging, and which ones might benefit from admission. Julia and Sarah also share their own personal experiences with COVID. We hope you’re staying healthy through this omicron surge! Send us your questions about kids and COVID on social media, @empulsepodcast, on email empulsepodcast@gmail.com, or through our website, ucdavisem.com. We’re working on an episode on what it’s like to be a woman in emergency medicine. Want to share your story?
