No honey has been given but the family uses corn syrup. What is the most appropriate immediate management?

A 3-yeаr-оld bоy is brоught to the emergency depаrtment for vomiting, lethаrgy, and abdominal pain. His mother's boyfriend reports that the child "fell off the couch" earlier that day.

Vital signs are notable for: HR: 155 beats/min BP: 82/44 mmHg RR: 30 breaths/min Physical examination reveals faint bruising over the abdomen and scattered ecchymoses on the back. Abdominal palpation elicits diffuse tenderness and guarding. Laboratory studies show: Hemoglobin: 8.2 g/dL AST: 310 U/L ALT: 275 U/L Lipase: 650 U/L A CT scan of the abdomen demonstrates a pancreatic transection and small amount of free intraperitoneal fluid.
