Guidelines and Recommendations in Pediatric Care

The chapter delves into various guidelines and recommendations in pediatric care, including the caution against unnecessary phototherapy in well-appearing infants with neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and the recommendation for narrow-spectrum antibiotics over broad spectrum ones for community-acquired pneumonia. It also emphasizes the use of evidence-based tools like sepsis risk calculators to guide management decisions and reduce antibiotic usage with minimal impact on patient outcomes.
