Paediatric acute behavioural disturbance
Update: 2025-06-30
Description
In this episode of Clinical Conversations, we explore the complexities of managing acute behavioural disturbance (ABD) in children and adolescents—a small but increasingly common and high-risk cohort. Host James Oswald and AV Medical Director Dr. David Anderson are joined by paediatric emergency physician Dr. Claire Wilkin, who brings deep expertise in paediatric critical care. Together, they discuss the causes of ABD in younger patients, differences from adult presentations, principles of de-escalation, the role of sedation, and how to assess and manage risk.
