In this video, Dr. Atsia Golnik, a pediatric intensivist, discusses the recognition and management of common oncologic and hematologic emergencies in children. She highlights the high risk of critical illness in children with cancer due to factors such as immunosuppression, disrupted natural barriers, and complications from the disease or treatment. Dr. Golnik emphasizes the importance of recognizing and treating complications such as hyperleukocytosis, tumor lysis syndrome, APL differentiation syndrome, mediastinal masses, spinal cord compression, febrile neutropenia, and toxicities from chemotherapy.
