Summary Introduction Propofol is an effective sedative for magnetic resonance imaging. Nevertheless, it may cause hemodynamic and respiratory complications in a dose dependent fashion. We investigated the role of low‐dose dexmedetomidine (0.5 μg/kg) as adjuvant to propofol sedation children undergoing hypothesized that would decrease required, airway complications, instability. Methods performed retrospective chart review patients’ age 1 month 20 years. Children were divided into 2 groups;...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the personal and professional lives of all health care workers. Anesthesiologists frequently perform virus-aerosolizing procedures (eg, intubation extubation) that place them at increased risk infection. We sought to determine how initial COVID-19 outbreak members Society for Pediatric Anesthesia (SPA) on both levels. Specifically, we examined potential effects gender age stress, burnout, sleep deprivation, anxiety, depression,...
Background: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine Fellowship trainees need to acquire skills perform procedures. Over the last several years there have been advances that allowed for less invasive forms of interventions. Objective: Our hypothesis was over past decade rate procedures performed by decreased. Methods: Retrospective review at a single institution, tertiary, academic, children's hospital patients admitted from July 1, 2007-June 30, 2017 Intensive Unit and Cardiothoracic Unit. A...
Objectives/Hypothesis Children undergoing tonsillectomy for sleep‐disordered breathing are at risk respiratory compromise when narcotics administered. Severe complications resulting from hypoxia can include neuro‐devastation and death. The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate the feasibility, accuracy, utility transcutaneous carbon dioxide (tcPCO2) monitoring during after adenotonsillectomy. Study Design Prospective, Observational study. Methods Twenty‐nine children with...
Abstract Struggling learners often require interventions that are time‐consuming and emotionally exhausting for both the trainee faculty. Numerous barriers, including lack of resources, faculty development, fear legal retribution, can impede medical educators from developing implementing robust remediation plans. Despite large volume literature citing professionalism education “hidden curriculum” as problem areas in education, frontline practical tools empowerment to address...
