Branching cross-examination

This is a MedVellum formative viva. It is not an official RACP, MRCPCH, ABP, ACGME or RCPSC station, mark scheme, duration or pass standard. Release each update only after the candidate states the failing system, the immediate action and the reassessment endpoint. ^{[1] [2]}

Candidate brief

You are the senior paediatric clinician in a rural district emergency department. Speak as you would during resuscitation. Secure immediate threats before the diagnosis is certain, state the change you expect from each action, and say what you will reassess. This is one continuous case. Each escalation branch leads to the next update. ^[2]
