Objectives:
Targeted parental education reduces acute visits for pediatric asthma. Whether the use of education sources readily available to parents relates to nonadherence to asthma treatments is uncertain. This study describes asthma education sources and assesses for a relationship to risks for nonadherence.
Methods:
Caregivers of children wi...
We sought to characterize and understand the residents' perspective on how professionalism develops through pediatric emergency medicine experiences.
Qualitative methods (freelisting-listing words associated with professionalism-and semistructured interviews) were conducted with senior emergency medicine and pediatric residents about their experien...
The objectives of this study were to estimate the frequency of pediatric 72-hour return visits (RVs) to the emergency department (ED) between 2001 and 2007 and to determine demographic and clinical characteristics associated with these RVs.
Data from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey between 2001 and 2007 were analyzed to estimat...
The study's objective was to identify the important qualities of outstanding mentors as described by their mentees' letters of nomination for a prestigious lifetime achievement award in mentorship.
The Lifetime Achievement in Mentorship Award at the University of California, San Francisco, recognizes a faculty member who has demonstrated sustained...
Pediatric syncope is a common presentation in the emergency department. Most causes are benign, but an evaluation must exclude rare life-threatening disorders. The lack of objective findings can pose a challenge. This case-based review emphasizes the importance of a detailed history and physical examination with electrocardiogram in determining hig...
This case is a great example of a congenital disease presenting outside of infancy. It is important to keep such as-yet undiagnosed diseases in the differential for patients presenting to the emergency department. Cystic fibrosis has multiple protean manifestations and may present to the ED with specific neonatal constellations as well as varying c...
The incidence of skin and soft-tissue infections (SSTIs) has rapidly increased among children in primary care settings since the emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). Recent treatment recommendations emphasize CA-MRSA as the primary cause, performing incision and drainage (I&D) as the primary thera...
Shock is an abnormal physiologic state of inadequate tissue perfusion that is a common end point for various diseases. Physiologic subtypes of shock include hypovolemic, cardiogenic, distributive, and obstructive shock. Multiple subtypes of shock can be present with a single disease. With the exception of cardiogenic shock, the most common mistake...
We hypothesize that nonpediatric and pediatric residents are exposed to a very low percentage of critically ill patients in a high-volume children's hospital emergency department (ED).
Retrospective chart review of resident-patient encounters during a 1-year period using a patient tracking system. Critically ill patients included those who were tri...
The lack of valid classification methods for emergency department (ED) visit urgency has resulted in large variation in reported rates of nonurgent ED utilization.
To compare four methods of defining ED visit urgency with the criterion standard, implicit criteria, for infant ED visits.
This was a secondary data analysis of a prospective birth cohor...

... Barriers to adherence, especially among underserved populations, include cultural misalignment with medical staff [17,18], incomplete knowledge of drug benefit, concerns about toxicity [19][20][21], and logistic impediments to timely prescription refill [22]. Poor adherence is linked to inadequate integration of adherence into a daily medication habit [23]. ...

... A few studies on ED revisits were conducted on pediatric patients. In previous studies, the ED revisit rates of pediatric patients varied from 2.2% to 8.0% [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and the number of pediatric revisits to EDs was reported to increase each year [19]. The ED revisit rates were high among infants, toddlers [9,12,14,[17][18][19], and children with chronic diseases [11,20]. ...
... Foundational competencies for mentors include communication and managing the relationship, psychosocial support, career and professional development, professional enculturation and scientific integrity, research development, and investigator development [8]. Other characteristics of good mentors include valuable personal qualities, ability to act as a career guide, commitment to meeting regularly, supporting the mentee's work/life balance, and role modeling [9]. Overall, a good mentor is able to provide support and guidance in the realms of both scientific and psychosocial development of their mentees to help them develop a successful scientific career [8]. ...
... Syncope is a common emergency condition caused by a temporary interruption of cerebral perfusion, characterized by a transient loss of consciousness and muscle tone, followed by fainting [1,2]. Syncope in pediatric patients can be subdivided into neuro-mediated syncope, cardiogenic syncope, and cerebrovascular syncope, among which vasovagal syncope, the main type of neurally mediated syncope, accounts for 30-80% of all syncope cases [3][4][5]. ...

... 13 MRSA first emerged in the pediatric population in the 1990s, and the incidence of pediatric ambulatory visits for SSTIs has nearly tripled. 14 Close contact with people who have been infected with CA-MRSA increases the pediatric population risk for MRSA infection. After a 2007 publication regarding MRSA infections and the death of healthy adolescents, media attention regarding CA-MRSA has substantially increased. ...
... mg/kg doses of naloxone (maximum 5 mg) successfully reverse the respiratory depression induced by BPN. 19,[103][104][105][106] After the abrupt discontinuation of BPN therapy, patients may experience withdrawal symptoms, which are milder than the symptoms associated with other opioids. The possibility of tolerance after short-term treatment is minimal. ...
... This condition is widespread in several countries around the world and it affects both the pediatric and general ED. International studies have been conducted to analyze the inappropriate use of the ED (3,4). In December 2003, Italian central and regional governments agreed on "Mattoni SSN" project with the aim of evaluating the appropriateness of every emergency room visit by its triage code assigned, the diagnostic resources adopted, and consultation outcomes (5). ...

... [5][6][7] However, despite specific pediatric ED experiences, even upon graduation EM residents continue to have deficits in pediatric critical care procedures and resuscitations. 6,[8][9][10] At the conclusion of their training, many EM physicians cite pediatrics and pediatric procedures as an area of weakness. [11][12][13] Additionally, there are trends towards fewer procedures in pediatric EDs, such as fewer intubations in favor of noninvasive ventilation or less frequent lumbar punctures in febrile neonates, 14,15 which further limits EM residents opportunities to hone their pediatric procedure skills. ...
