## Resource

Caring for pediatric surgical patients requires more than simply adapting adult practices. It demands a specialized, family-centered approach. In this First Case: Articles On-The-Go episode, Lindsay Joyce, MSN, RN, CNOR, walks through essential fundamentals every perioperative nurse should know, from maintaining a warm OR and using weight-based medication dosing to protecting delicate skin, preparing for malignant hyperthermia, and partnering closely with child life specialists. The episode also highlights the emotional side of pediatric care, supporting not just the child, but the parents, while emphasizing the importance of communication, trust, and pediatric-specific competencies like PALS and NRP. Whether you work in a large children's hospital, community facility, or ASC, this practical Top 10 is a strong foundation for delivering safe, compassionate care to our smallest patients. #operatingroom #pediatrics #ornurse #scrubtech #surgery
