Pediatric MNM in 45 minutes
A presenter-mode walkthrough designed to replace slides for a 45-minute fellow teaching session. Built around two real cases, four widget demos, and three discussion prompts.
How to use this page
- Open this page on the projector. Each section is a timed segment with speaker notes.
- The green play button at the right starts a 45-minute countdown, the live timer also flags which segment you should be in.
- The "Live demo" links below each section open the relevant widget, fellows can interact during Q&A.
- The speaker notes are collapsed by default. Toggle them when you need a memory aid.
Hook, a real case in 60 seconds
A 12-year-old, day 6 post severe TBI. ICP 24, CPP 58, MAP 82, NIRS 62%/64%, PRx +0.30. Fellow asks: 'Are we treating the right number?'
Foundation, the 6-minute physiology cram
Three ideas, each in 2 minutes.
The toolkit, what each monitor actually samples
Walk through ICP/PRx → NIRS → TCD → EEG/aEEG → pupillometry. Two minutes each. End with: 'No single number, convergence.'
Case 1, Maya, 12y, SAH day 6 vasospasm
Walk the multimodal trajectory: TCD MFV up, qEEG ADR down, NIRS asymmetric. Discuss: which monitor would have caught this first if you only had one?
Case 2, Yusuf, 9y, HTS bolus and a regional NIRS drop
HTS works. ICP falls. Then 2 hours later L NIRS drops. CT shows a contusion. Discussion: what's the lesson about regional vs. global?
Pediatric specifics + when the kit isn't there
Age bands matter. Open fontanelles change everything. Many monitors are research-grade in most centres. What do you do at 0300 with one nurse and a TCD probe?
Take-homes + Q&A
Three sentences. Then questions.
The reason this lecture is delivered as a website rather than slides: the fellows can interact live with the CPPopt widget, the discordance scenarios, and the dose calculator during Q&A. After the lecture, they have the full reference material in one URL, searchable, citation-anchored, and updated. Slides give a one-shot performance; this gives them a teaching surface they can return to.
Pre-flight checklist (5 minutes before)
- Set the theme to dark for projector contrast (toggle in header).
- Open three tabs in advance: Maya, Yusuf, Quick-card.
- Test the CPPopt widget, make sure it animates on the projector.
- Confirm internet, most figures are inline SVGs but search uses fetch.
If you have 30 minutes instead of 45
Drop sections 5 and 6. Run sections 1 (3 min) → 2 (5 min) → 3 (8 min) → 4 (10 min) → 7 (4 min). Hand out the quick-card at the door so fellows can read the omitted material.
If you have 60 minutes
Add a third case from the integration library. Best choices for fellows: Liam, CPPopt (algorithmic), Asher, DKA cerebral oedema (high-frequency PICU), or Noah, refractory status (every PICU sees this).
