FIRST-ATTACK PEDIATRIC HYPERTENSIVE CRISIS PRESENTING TO THE PEDIATRIC EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Pediatric anaphylaxis is commonly misdiagnosed in the Emergency Department (ED). We aimed to determine the impact of inaccurate diagnosis on the management and follow-up of pediatric anaphylaxis presenting to the ED.

Conclusion: Delayed presentation of a patient with high anorectal malformation is rare. The appropriate treatment can be rewarding.
Introduction
Anorectal malformation (ARM) is one of the most com- mon congenital defects having an incidence of between one per 1500 and one per 5000[r]

The purpose of this study was to describe the demographic characteristics and prognosis of children admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) after a pediatric emergency department (PED) return visit within 72 h.

Pediatric acute liver failure is a rare, life-threatening illness. Mushroom poisoning is a rare etiology. For patients with irreversible pediatric acute liver failure, liver transplantation is the ultimate lifesaving therapy. However, it is difficult to determine the optimal timing of transplantatio[r]

Cancer survival comes at a price: pediatric cancer survivors bear a high risk for a wide range of cognitive difficulties. Therefore, interventions targeting these difficulties are required. The aim of the present clinical trial is to extend empirical evidence about efficacy of cognitive and physical[r]

Post-educational intervention pain assessments appeared to decrease even though scripting and educational interventions were communicated to all staff. Through the research process, the assistant nurse manager discovered[r]

Cardiac tumors are uncommon in the pediatric population. When present, cardiac manifestations stem from the tumor causing inflow or outflow obstruction. While common in adults, cardiac myxomas presenting with generalized systemic illness or peripheral emboli especially with no cardiac or neurologica[r]

Mission/Activities: Nurses and physicians were deployed to local hospitals immediately following the bombing. Psychiatrists and psychologists assisted in death notifications at the Family Assistance Center. One staff member was detailed to the FEMA/State Disast[r]

Incidence of Chronic GVHD
Based on the findings from a literature review, we see that older recipient age is recognized as a risk factor for chronic GVHD, and a lower incidence of chronic GVHD may be expected in children. On the other hand, there have been signif[r]

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive status disclosure is an essential component of Pediatric care and long term disease management. Children have a right to know their HIV diagnosis result. However, Pediatric HIV disclosure is complex and varies in different communities.

Unintentional injuries are a major cause of death among children. Data suggest that the retention of knowledge and skills about first aid declined over time. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of pediatric first aid training among teachers.

For this study, we will employ a prospective cohort design. All children undergoing PSA for painful procedures at each site will have a standardized electronic data collec- tion form (to be implemented as the local clinical record) completed by the nurse and physician caring for[r]
