Hi. Board certified pediatric critical care physician here to tell you that nebulized budesonide is not useful for any critically ill child ever. For anything.

It’s especially not useful for:
- measles
- pneumonia
- sepsis
- Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

Have you ever watched a baby die of pertussis? I have. Several.

This is what it looks like:
A newborn baby can’t stop coughing. They can’t catch their breath and they can’t eat. They get dehydrated and stop peeing. They sometimes have pauses in their breathing. Parents are terrified so they come to the ER.

In the ER, labs show they have a dangerously high white blood cell count. Their blood has become thick from the white blood cells and doesn’t travel through organs like it should. Less oxygen gets delivered to vital organs. They start to seize. Imaging reveals they had a stroke. They can’t pump blood to their lungs and body.

A breathing tube gets placed in their trachea. They get put on a ventilator. A plastic catheter is placed in their veins and arteries to give them medicine and measure blood pressure.

If they are lucky, they can make it to a #PedsICU that provides #ECMO, or full heart lung bypass. They are attached to machines that take over all their body functions.

But it’s too late. Their hands and feet turn black because they can’t perfuse their bodies. Their faces turn grey/green. They won’t stop seizing from the brain injury.

They are attached to too many machines to hold while alive and parents lay their bodies on top of them and cry until they fall asleep then cry again.

There is nothing to do but stop the machines. Antibiotics to treat pertussis were given but were no match for the infections effects on a newborn baby.

Parents finally hold their baby after the machines have turned off and their baby is cold and lifeless.

Is this what you want? This is what RFK Jr will bring to American families.

Today we celebrate the thousands of babies born with clubfoot who have been spared surgery thanks to the Ponseti method. Created at our hospital by the late Ignacio Ponseti, MD, the nonsurgical treatment is now considered the gold standard of care. #WorldClubfootDay

Born 17 weeks early, Evelyn weighed just 8.46 ounces. With her life in danger, a treatment created by our experts helped save her life. Evelyn is the smallest surviving infant in the U.S. and one of three tied for third-smallest in the world. 💛 https://t.co/8stWDIiHTx

Kids are getting exposed to screens too early and too often

Turns out this is not a good thing

Here are some recent findings about the impact this is having on kids:

- Any screen time before the age of 3yrs has been shown to cause developmental delays

- Babies & toddlers exposed to screens are more likely to display atypical sensory behaviours associated with autism and ADHD

- A study of 1471 kids showed that 1yr old give screen time had a 105% higher likelihood of sensory processing issues. They had:
Anxiety
Slower response times
A lack of interest in non-screen activities

- Children aged 3-5 who had more than 1hr of screen time per day had higher likelihood of sensory issues later in childhood

-Children under 3 who were given ANY regular screen time were more likely to suffer from obesity, anxiety and/or depression

-Kids aged 2-3 that were exposed to screens were more likely to struggle socially and display behavioural problems

-Kids & young teens who average more than 2 hours per day (the average for this age group is over 5 hrs a day) are significantly more likely to be obese and/or severely depressed

-Parents of teens that average more than 5 hrs/day on screens (the average for this age group is over 7hrs/day) report not feeling a strong connection to their kids, and that their connection is worse since they became teens.
________

The average parent spends over 7 hrs per day on a screen

If this post is triggering in any way, perhaps its a good idea to review your own screen habits & see if they are harming your family

As the leaders of your family, parents need to set an example for what healthy screen usage looks like

You dont want to be the parents that dont feel strong connection with their teen kids

If you're over 20, you should have your cholesterol checked at least every 4-6 years. So, Yeah, time to call the doctor and set that up.
