Objective To determine whether use of a primary pull-through would result in equivalent perioperative and long-term complications compared with the two-stage approach. Summary Background Data During past decade, authors have advanced for Hirschsprung disease newborn, preliminary results suggested excellent outcomes. Methods From May 1989 through September 1999, 78 infants underwent endorectal (ERPT) procedure at four pediatric surgical sites. were collected from medical records parental...
The efficacy of a morantel sustained release bolus to control ostertagiasis in grazing calves was assessed. Administration the into rumen immediately before turnout on spring pasture May substantially reduced level contamination with infective larvae later season. Compared controls there 71 per cent reduction worm burdens acquired over entire season mean improvement weight gain 24 kg. When administration delayed until midsummer (July) good anthelmintic effect obtained but little levels. Worm...
Prehospital traumatic cardiopulmonary arrest is associated with dismal prognosis, and patients rarely survive to hospital discharge. Recently established guidelines do not apply the pediatric population because of paucity data. The study objective was determine survival presenting in field no signs life after blunt trauma.We conducted a retrospective analysis National Trauma Data Bank research data set (2002-2010). All 18 years younger injuries were identified (DRG International...
Background: Better understanding of cardiopulmonary physiology in children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia Bochdalek (CDH) has facilitated improved survival. In addition, it allowed surgeons to employ minimally invasive techniques their repair under conditions that might result hypercarbia and/or recurrent pulmonary hypertension. Materials and Methods: Under institutional review board approval, the records all neonates at a single institution who underwent thoracoscopic CDH (T-CDH) were...
BACKGROUND Early tracheostomy has been associated with shorter hospital stay and fewer complications in adult trauma patients. Guidelines for have not established children severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The purpose of this study was to (1) define nationwide trends time extubation (2) determine if early is decreased length TBI. METHODS Records (<15 years) TBI (head Abbreviated Injury Severity [AIS] score ≥3) who were mechanically ventilated (>48 hours) obtained from the National...
BACKGROUND Patients with severe H1N1 pneumonia created a sudden demand for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) capacity. In single referral center, the established procedures, protocols, and staff of Level I trauma service were adapted to help manage this nontrauma critical care crisis. METHODS When airway pressure release ventilation high-frequency oscillator failed, we used standard ECMO circuits VDR-4 ventilator. We cannulated patients percutaneously in intensive unit transported...
Objectives Nonaccidental trauma (NAT) is most common and lethal in infants. Falls are the frequently given explanation for NAT, head injuries can result from both mechanisms. We hypothesized that infant NAT have a distinct injury profile compared to falls. Methods The registry patient records were reviewed 2004 2008. Infants with at least 1 computed tomography included. Results Ninety-nine infants identified. (67 patients) (21 mechanism of injury. had lower severity scores, 5 versus 17 (P <...
