Child Health 1 - Daisy

The Case

Discussion & further progress

Daisy goes into nasal cannula oxygen and continues on IV fluids as she is unable to feed


Over the next 24 hours her work of breathing seems to worsen and she appears to be tiring.

Open Question

Daisy's parents are worried that she is becoming more unwell and that nothing is being done to stop their daughter getting sicker.


Think about what you might say to her parents in this instance? Have you seen a situation like this on the ward? How did the doctor handle it?


Does Daisy require any further investigation?
