I know a paramedic in Alaska that ran into the following situation:
7 day old newborn with fevers up to 102. Mild URI symptoms.
The paramedic did an LP and gave one dose of ceftriaxone while en route to the hospital.
Have any of you done LPs on a newborn before?
What is your protocol for giving antibiotics to pediatrics patients?
