When is “normal” not? Assessment of patients under age 1 can be challenging, and when you find a patient with no injuries or obvious illness, does this mean they are OK? We will explore what a BRUE is and what is means. Building upon this, we will discuss what is the science behind BRUE and the effects on children. Finally, we will look at some real EMS cases and discuss what a Brief Resolved Unexplained Event is, outcomes of this condition, and what the EMS provider at any level can do for these patients.
Learning Objectives:

Define and understand what a BRUE is and the implications for the patient.
describe how to examine and consider outcomes and epidemiology of BRUE cases
Implement strategies to assess and manage patients who present with a BRUE.
