Marianne Gausche-Hill, MD, FACEP BRUE
Today on ACEP\u2019s Frontline your host Dr. Ryan Stanton talks with Dr. Marianne Gausche-Hill about something that impacts all emergency physicians. The term BRUE is the \u2018new\u2019 ALTE. In 2016 the American Academy of Pediatrics began using the term after releasing a policy statement about an infant who experience a \u201cBrief Resolved Unexplained Event\u201d. It refers to infants under 12 months of age who, according to the parent, had an event such as a loss of tone, stiffening, an apneic episode or loss of consciousness for no apparent reason. What\u2019s different in this new policy statement? Who\u2019s high-risk, who\u2019s low-risk, who needs to be worked up and admitted and who can go home? Find out what you need to know about these tiny patients that can create big worry.
