AKUT BARN

AKUT BARN is an essential health professional reference that facilitates rapid and safe initial treatment of acutely ill or injured children aged 3-50 kg. It provides a three-part system including a guide with vital parameters, equipment sizes, and medication doses tailored to the child’s weight; treatment guidelines for 29 critical pediatric conditions focusing on ABCDE assessments, pain management, and sedation; and resuscitation algorithms for newborns and children based on Danish Pediatric Society standards.

Designed for ease of use, AKUT BARN allows quick selection of age and weight to access corresponding guide sheets and treatment instructions. While not a substitute for local protocols, it helps reduce medication errors and accelerates emergency care decisions. Developed by experts at Rigshospitalet’s Department of Anesthesia, Surgery and TraumaCenter, and supported by regional health funds, this tool is invaluable for medical professionals managing pediatric emergencies.
