Transport Tidbits: MIS-C

Healing Hearts: Empowering Pediatric Critical Care Providers

Welcome back to some Transport Tidbits. Join members of our transport team at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center as they talk through various diagnoses in each episode. They will cover four things in each short episode: (1) an overview of the condition, (2) assessment of the condition and diagnostic tests, (3) priority interventions for this patient (including medications), and (4) the biggest risk for decompensation in this patient. They will also highlight pertinent questions for you, the inpatient bedside team, to ask when receiving handoff and admitting this patient from the transport team. In this second episode, Kristen Foster, a former transport nurse and now the trauma outreach coordinator at Children’s Hospital and Medical Center, will give an overview of the diagnosis MIS-C or Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome.
