Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this session, the moderator and speakers discuss the intersection of adult and pediatric care in the context of ventricular assist devices, drug use, and monitoring in both populations. The first speaker discusses the limitations of using adult ventricular assist devices in pediatric patients. She highlights the differences in technology between adult and pediatric devices, as well as the challenges in bringing pediatric devices to market. However, she also mentions some recent approvals and developments in this area. The second speaker talks about the use of adult drugs for pediatric patients, specifically focusing on the off-label use of medications. She emphasizes the frequency of off-label medication use in pediatric patients and discusses the risks and benefits associated with this practice. The third speaker discusses the differences in monitoring between adults and pediatrics. She covers various types of monitors such as telemetry, pulse oximetry, blood pressure, and hemodynamic monitors.
