Over the weekend, our critical care team was activated to 15 incidents (including stand downs) across the North East and Cumbria.
Here's a breakdown of the incidents:
👊 Five assaults
⚠️ Three falls
❤️ Two cardiac arrest
🚗 Two road traffic collisions
🚴 One sport and leisure incident
🔥 One burns incident
😷 One other
As the colder months set in, seasonal viruses become more common, which can cause a high temperature, and sometimes trigger seizures in younger and more susceptible children.
Our critical care teams are equipped and able to manage seizures at various difference levels, but this equipment doesn't come without a cost.
From paediatric airway equipment and monitoring devices to essential medications, having the right kit on board can make a vital difference when a child needs us most.
Can you help us fund the equipment our crews need to care for critically ill children?
