Special consideration in pediatrics from the Surviving Sepsis Campaign. Published: 2013.

This document summarizes causes, symptoms, and management of cyanosis in newborns.

Pediatricians are responsible for eliminating or assuaging pain and suffering in children when possible. To accomplish this, pediatricians need to expand their knowledge, use appropriate assessment tools and techniques, anticipate painful experiences and intervene accordingly, use a multimodal approach to pain management, use a multidisciplinary approach when possible, involve families, and advocate for the use of effective pain management in children.

This checklist assists in the detection of intussusception risk following monovalent rotavirus vaccination.

Objective:To determine the effect of digital technology distraction on pain and distress in children experiencing acutely painful conditions or procedures.

comparative analysis of the safety profiles of H1antihistamines using data from the WHO database

Objective: The 2002 American College of Critical Care Medicine (ACCM) guidelines for the resuscitation of pediatric septic shock suggest that 20 mL/kg of bolus intravenous fluid be given within 5 minutes. Of 3 commonly used, inexpensive methods of fluid delivery, we hypothesized that only use of a manual push-pull system will permit guideline adherence. Published: 2007.

Objective: Although general definitions of the sepsis continuum have been published for adults, no such work has been done for the pediatric population. Physiologic and laboratory variables used to define the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and organ dysfunction require modification for the developmental stages of children. An international panel of 20 experts in sepsis and clinical research from five countries (Canada, France, Netherlands, United Kingdom, and United States) was convened to modify the published adult consensus definitions of infection, sepsis, severe sepsis, septic shock, and organ dysfunction for children. Published: 2005.

Cerebral edema is an uncommon but devastating complication of diabetic ketoacidosis in children. Risk factors for this complication are defined in this multicenter study.

Objectives: to determine the effect of 40 mEq/L and 60 mEq/L infusions on potassium levels in children during treatment of DKA.

Objectives: To use point-of-care (POC) testing to reduce DKA determination time from 86 to 30 minutes and to reduce IV placements in patients without DKA from 85% to 20% over 18 months.

We sought to evaluate the French national trend of admissions for unintentional cannabis intoxication in children over an 11-year period (20042014).

This technical report updates the 2004 American Academy of Pediatrics technical report on the legalization of marijuana

Episode 25:In this episode on Pediatric Syncope & Adult Syncope, Dr. Eric Letovksy & Dr. Anna Jarvis run through the key clinical pearls of the history, the physical, interpretation of the ECG and the value of clinical decision rules such as the ROSE rule and the San Francisco Syncope Rule in working up these patients. We discuss how to differentiate syncope from seizure, cardiac causes of syncope such as Arrhthmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopthy & Prolonged QT Syndrome, and the indications for Holter monitoring, Echocardiograms and stress testing in patients with Syncope.
