Coronavirus-19 Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C): A Pediatric Simulation Case for Residents, Fellows, and Advanced Practice Providers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A rare but serious condition often requiring intensive care, multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is characterized by hyperinflammatory shock related to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. This resource teaches residents, pediatric emergency medicine fellows, and advanced practice providers who care for children to recognize and manage MIS-C and associated sequelae while applying the basic principles of pediatric resuscitation.
