A year into the pandemic, and we still continue to learn more about how SARS CoV-2 infection affects kids. So, what should pediatric clinicians be looking for when it comes to signs and complications of COVID in children? One thing we know for sure is that "COVID clots". On this episode, Dr. Gabi Hester interviews our hematology specialist Dr. Kate Garland about what we know about clotting in kids with COVID, which kids are most vulnerable, and which kids, and at what ages, should be put on thromboprophylaxis to prevent clotting complications. Dr. Hester and Dr. Garland also walk through the new Children's Minnesota clinical guideline on VTE prophylaxis in kids with COVID.
