Lethargy indicates a serious medical condition that requires immediate medical attention. It refers to an abnormal lack of alertness and spontaneous movement beyond weakness. True signs of lethargy include a lack of interaction with the environment, decreased eye contact and focus, and an inability to follow simple commands or respond to questions. While callers may use the term lethargy to describe less severe behaviors, any report of lethargy, listlessness, or excessive sleepiness requires clarification and exploration to diagnose potential underlying issues like meningitis or sepsis.

Early sign of autism
The first signs of autism occur during early infancy and the disorder is usually diagnosed by the
age of three. The autistic symptoms vary from one patient to another, from mild to severe forms.
The first warning sign is an abnormal response to different stimuli such as light or sound. Noises
may appear painful to the child, smells are overwhelmingly strong and touches are painful. Loud
noises and very bright lights trigger what is termed "meltdown".

It also notes goals for call length and considerations for handling newborn patients.
Which protocol would you choose?
The document provides guidance on choosing protocols and dispositions for various pediatric patient cases presented to a telehealth triage nurse. It describes 9 calls involving children with various complaints such as crying, eye irritation, ear pulling, mouth bleeding, wheezing, swallowed objects, abdominal pain, limited arm movement, and provides the guidelines and rationales chosen by the nurse.

Dealing with the difficult caller
This document provides guidance on dealing with difficult callers for triage nurses. It defines difficult callers as tired, stressed, anxious parents calling about a sick child. These callers are not targeting the nurse personally but are at the end of their rope. The document advises nurses to listen to callers vent for a few minutes, show empathy, and avoid arguing. It provides guidelines for angry, demanding, and overly worried callers that focus on de-escalation, clarifying needs, offering solutions, documenting objectively, and involving physicians if needed.
Customer service
The document provides guidance on effective customer service communication from the perspective of nurses who work in telephone triage. It emphasizes listening to customers, speaking to them with respect, empathy and care, and going above and beyond to meet their needs. Nurses provide examples of excellent customer service such as having a caring tone, thoroughly addressing concerns, and giving updates to reduce wait times. The overall message is that customer service requires treating each caller as a valued individual.
Standards of Documentation
This document outlines standards for phone triage nurse documentation. It emphasizes that documentation provides credibility and is necessary in legal cases. Nurses should document completely and accurately to support their triage decisions and dispositions. Incorrect dispositions or guideline choices should be avoided, and any overrides require documenting the reason. Follow-up calls and referrals also need thorough documentation. Proper documentation of symptoms, medical history, medications and other details is important.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Lethargy
- 2. LETHARGY We often hear parents describe their child’s activity as “lethargic”. We must be very carful when documenting the word “lethargic” as it indicates a true emergency/EMS. See the following from Barton Schmitt:
- 3. • Lethargy must be differentiated from weakness. To physicians and nurses, lethargy is a serious, abnormal symptom usually due to a serious illness (e.g. sepsis). Lethargy with fever is often the earliest sign of meningitis in younger children. • Lethargy needs to be seen IMMEDIATELY.
- 4. SIGNS OF TRUE LETHARGY: • Not alert when awake • Little spontaneous movement • Little facial expression • Decreased eye focus • Cant seem to focus • Doesn’t interact with the parent or environment • Decreased spontaneous talking or babbling • Doesn’t respond to questions • Doesn’t follow simple commands
- 5. Always Explore the Possibilities! • Callers, however, use the term lethargy to mean many different things. • Complaints of lethargy, listless, sluggish, acting strange, eyes are glassy, looks sad, or sleeping a lot always need to be explored and clarified.
