Life Threatening Event

Background: Per American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines, the term “brief resolved unexplained event” (BRUE) has replaced the previous term “apparent life threatening event” (ALTE). A BRUE is defined as an event occurring in infants younger than 12 months of age who were reported as having a sudden brief episode with at least one of the following symptoms: (a) cyanosis or pallor, (b) absent or irregular breathing, (c) marked change in tone, and/or (d) an altered level of responsiveness. There must be no other etiology or diagnosis that better explains the event. Management: The recommended management of a BRUE depends upon risk stratification. All low risk criteria must be present for a patient to be considered low risk. Low risk infants require limited diagnostics and do not require admission to the hospital. The AAP did not provide specific recommendations for high risk infants.

And Training

This chapter illustrates the mental health clinician’s relationship with behavioral emergencies. The chapter begins by distinguishing the terms behavioral emergency and behavioral crisis, and underlying themes among all behavioral emergencies are identified. Given that most clinicians will face a behavioral emergency in their careers, the importance of enhancing the process of educating and training practitioners for such situations far beyond the minimal training that currently exists is highlighted. The chapter continues by exploring various aspects of evaluating and managing high-risk patients (i.e., those who exhibit violent tendencies toward themselves or others, and those at risk for victimization). It includes a discussion of the benefits and limitations to estimating life-threatening risk factors and specific protective factors. The chapter concludes by discussing the emotional impact that working with high-risk patients has on clinicians, and an emphasis is placed on the importance of creating a supportive work environment.
