Microbial water contamination after periods of heavy rainfall is well described, but its link to acute gastrointestinal illness (AGI) in children not known.We hypothesize an association between and pediatric emergency department (ED) visits for AGI that may represent unrecognized, endemic burden disease a major U.S. metropolitan area served by municipal drinking systems.We conducted retrospective time series analysis the Children's Hospital Wisconsin ED Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Daily visit...
Objective. Pediatric transports comprise approximately 10% of emergency medical services (EMS) requests for aid, but little is known about the clinical characteristics pediatric EMS patients and interventions they receive. Our objective was to describe prehospital patient cohort in a large metropolitan system. Methods. This retrospective analysis all (age <19 years) transported from October 2011 September 2013 conducted by reviewing system-wide National Information System (NEMSIS)-compliant...

Objective: To develop a nomogram for pediatric bladder volumes associated with the successful completion of transabdominal pelvic ultrasound (TPU) in female patients presenting lower abdominal and/or pain emergency department. This study hypothesizes that target TPU vary by age and weight. Methods: We retrospectively calculated on all studies during 2-year period 8 to 18 years old ellipsoid volume formula using largest cross-sectional areas captured transverse longitudinal cine clips....
Introduction: Adnexal torsion is an emergent surgical condition. Transabdominal pelvic ultrasound (US) with ovarian Doppler used to diagnose adnexal and requires a sufficient bladder volume. Reduce the turnaround time for US by 25% in girls 8–18 years of age who present emergency department (ED) 24 months. Methods: Our baseline period was from January 2020 June 2021, intervention July 2021 2023. Patients old required ED were included. There are two key drivers: early identification readiness...
Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) provide an important service to decrease interfacility transport times compared with ground ambulances. Although via HEMS is typically faster, the decreased transportation time comes at expense of increased risks patient and flight crew higher costs. Therefore, it balance immediate needs risk transport. Our objective was determine how frequently pediatric patients who are transported a Level 1 trauma center (PTC) receive time-sensitive...
Abstract Background Emergency medical services ( EMS ) providers must be able to identify the most appropriate destination facility when treating children with potentially severe illnesses. Currently, no validated tool exists assist in identifying who need transport a hospital higher‐level pediatric care. For such developed, criterion standard needs defined that identifies received Objective The objective was develop consensus‐based for complaint resources. Methods Eleven local and national...
To determine the frequency that injured pediatric patients who were inter-facility transported by Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) to a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center (PTC) received time-sensitive interventions immediately upon arrival. HEMS can provide an important service during transports decreasing transport times when compared ground ambulances. However, while via HEMS is typically faster, decreased transportation time comes at expense of increased risks patient and flight...
