Prevention and Management of Acute Complications in Children with Sickle Cell Disease – CPS Podcast
Wednesday, 25 February, 2026
This PedsCases episode will review the Canadian Paediatric Society Position Statement from November 2022, "Acute complications in children with sickle cell disease: Prevention and management". By the end of this podcast, listeners will be able to 1) understand how to prevent mortality and morbidity associated with SCD, 2) recognize and manage the common complications of SCD, and 3) know the basic principles of transfusion for patients with SCD. Today's episode was created by Audrey Slater, a fourth-year medical student at the Université de Montréal, in collaboration with the authors of the CPS statement, including Dr. Carolyn E. Beck, a hospitalist pediatrician at SickKids hospital, Dr. Evelyne D. Trottier, a pediatric emergency physician at CHUSJ, Dr. Melanie Kirby-Allen, a haematologist at SickKids Hospital, and Dr. Yves Pastore, a haematologist at CHUSJ. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.
