<h3>Background</h3> Chest radiography (CXR) is the test of choice for diagnosing pneumonia. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has been shown to be accurate pneumonia in children and may an alternative CXR. Our objective was determine feasibility safety substituting LUS CXR when evaluating suspected having <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted a randomized control trial comparing with 191 from birth 21 years age ED. Patients investigational arm underwent LUS. If there clinical uncertainty after...
The role of clinician-performed ultrasonography (US) for suspected appendicitis is unclear. Published data conclude that US has high specificity to rule in the diagnosis appendicitis, with variable sensitivity it out. Newer suggest point-of-care (POC) may have similar test characteristics. Our objective was evaluate effect POC children and its on emergency department (ED) length stay (LOS) computed tomography (CT) utilization.This a prospective observational convenience sample requiring...
The goals of this study were to develop compounds that selective and highly efficacious agonists at alpha-7 receptors, while varying in antagonist activity; test the hypothesis these had memory-related neuroprotective actions associated with both agonist receptor activities. Three identified; E,E-3-(cinnamylidene)anabaseine (3-CA), E,E-3-(2-methoxycinnamylidene) anabaseine (2-MeOCA) E,E-3-(4-methoxycinnamylidene) (4-MeOCA) each displaced [125I]alpha-bungarotoxin binding from rat brain...
ABSTRACT Purpose This study evaluated the use of point‐of‐care (POCUS) to differentiate between angioedema and cellulitis in pediatric patients who presented emergency department (ED) with periorbital swelling from suspected insect bites. Methods Subanalysis under 21 years old bites was performed presenting ED. Participating physicians received hands‐on soft tissue ultrasound training prior enrollment. Pre‐ post‐POCUS diagnoses findings, disposition, ED discharge diagnosis, additional...
The aim of this study was to assess whether increased time from emergency department (ED) triage appendectomy is associated with a greater risk children developing appendiceal perforation.We performed multicenter retrospective cohort younger than 18 years hospitalized appendicitis. To avoid enrolling patients who had perforated prior ED arrival, we included only computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrating nonperforated Time measured as incision. main outcome perforation documented in the...
Foreign body ingestion is a common occurrence in children. Morbidity associated with rare and dependent on the type of foreign ingested. We report case 9-year-old boy who developed intestinal obstruction perforation following magnetic-backed earrings.
Dehydration is a common concern in children presenting to pediatric emergency departments and other acute care settings. Ultrasound (US) of the inferior vena cava (IVC) may be fast, noninvasive tool gauge volume status, but its utility unclear. Our objectives were determine interobserver agreement IVC collapse duration, then correlate with outcome intravenous (IV) versus oral (PO) rehydration.We conducted prospective study by enrolling patients 0 21 years old emesis requiring ondansetron or...
To highlight the similarity between madd fruit seeds and enteral drug concealment ("body packing") on computed tomography when evaluated by Hounsfield Units.A 13-year-old girl from Senegal presented to Emergency Department with severe abdominal pain. Examination showed right lower quadrant tenderness rebound. Computed scan of abdomen pelvis revealed smooth, well circumscribed, multiple intraluminal foreign bodies measuring up 2 cm in size Units 200. The emergency department radiologist...
Because changes to pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) education may help address barriers youth suicide risk screening programs, this study aimed understand the impact of formal training in areas that likely include suicide-related practices, developmental-behavioral pediatrics (DBP) and adolescent (AM), on PEM physician-perceived level training, attitudes, confidence assessing managing risk.Twenty-seven attendings trainees completed an online survey were divided into 2 groups: those who had...
To evaluate inhalation device cleaning practices of children with asthma and its effect on their morbidity.A survey patients aged 4 to 18 years admitted an urban pediatric emergency department (ED) acute exacerbation. Questions included demographics, history, preference delivery devices, frequency cleaning. Patients were followed until disposition from the ED, or end hospitalization, if admitted.220 subjects completed survey. Mean age was 9.2 (+/- 3.9) years-old. One hundred four (47.3%)...
The diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) has traditionally been limited examinations by radiologists and ultrasound technicians. Although contrast venography is considered criterion standard for DVT, time, personnel, cost, exposure radiation, invasive nature study (need access) potentially limit ability perform an emergent setting. Ultrasonography alternative method thrombus detection widely preferred. However, many health care...
Soft tissue infections and angioedema from insect bites stings may be difficult to differentiate by inspection. We present sonographic findings of 4 cases soft swelling suggestive angioedema. Sonographic features consist thickened subcutaneous layers with multiple linear, horizontal, striated, hypoechoic lines following the planes between layers. In addition history physical examination, assist in differentiating local allergic reactions cellulitis patients stings. Further study is warranted...
Background The role of clinician-performed ultrasonography for suspected appendicitis is controversial. Published data conclude that has high specificity to rule in the diagnosis with variable sensitivity it out. Newer suggest point-of-care (PoCUS) may have similar test characteristics. This first study examine effect on emergency department (ED) length stay (LOS) and CT utilization children appendicitis.
