Our emergency guidelines are intended to be used as templates for new and existing patients living with IMD.
The "child" guidelines are intended for children and adolescents up to end of puberty being managed on paediatric wards. The “adult” guidelines are intended for adult hospitals and wards. Hospitals should use the version of the guidelines they are most familiar with but the “adult” guidelines are suitable for all patients weighing over 40kg.
These guidelines are applicable to most patients but there will be occasions when alternative management is appropriate in consultation with a tertiary metabolic centre

They have been scrutinised carefully but there may still be errors. Furthermore new evidence at any time can invalidate these recommendations. No liability whatsoever can be taken as a result of using this information and no advice can be given regarding their use in countries outside the United Kingdom.
