Over the past four decades, pediatric emergency Medicine (PEM) has witnessed significant global development, with a notable increase in training programs and official recognition by regulatory bodies....
Current trends in international pediatric emergency medicine encompass the provision of training in pediatric-focused emergency and acute care, increased propagation of evidence-based guidelines speci...
While recent advancements have significantly enhanced the state of international pediatric emergency medicine, including pediatric specific research networks and training programs, barriers still hind...
Triage, the initial assessment and sorting of patients in the Emergency Department (ED), determines priority of evaluation and treatment. Little is known about the impact of undertriage, the underesti...
This was a case control study of ED visits for patients <22 years of age, with an assigned Emergency Severity Index (ESI) score of 4 or 5, and associated hospital admission, nebulized treatment, suppl...
The final analysis included 7245 undertriaged patients. Undertriaged patients had longer times to orders for nebulized treatments, (p < 0.001) IV placement, (p < 0.001) and admission (p < 0.001) when ...
Undertriage in the pediatric ED is associated with delays in care and disposition decisions and increases likelihood of return visits....
Dexamethasone is an essential treatment for common pediatric inflammatory, airway, and respiratory conditions. We aim to provide up-to-date recommendations for treatment of anaphylaxis, croup, coronav...
Literature largely continues to support the use of dexamethasone in most of the above conditions, however, recommendations for dosing and duration are evolving....
The findings discussed in this review will enable pediatric emergency medicine providers to use dexamethasone effectively as treatment of common pediatric conditions and minimize the occurrence of sid...
Background The pediatric emergency department (PED) is a unique fast-paced learning environment. Most pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians work in academic centers and therefore require speci...
Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) has undergone important growth in the field of Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) in the last 14 years and is recognized as a critical diagnostic tool in the care of i...
Currently, the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education requires time-based pediatric experiences for emergency medicine (EM) residents in both pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) and critic...
The primary objective of this study was to develop comprehensive categorization of PEM content using an EM lens. The second objective was to suggest a prioritization for the EM learner of the enumerat...
We first assembled a comprehensive list of PEM concepts, diagnoses, and procedures that might be taught to EM residents. We then convened focus groups composed of key stakeholders to help formulate co...
We prioritized 168 important PEM concepts from previous standards and emerging PEM literature among 10 identified themes: the pediatric normal, the bottom-line boil-it-down approach, common presentati...
Based on input from stakeholders in EM resident education, we identified key themes within PEM education and created a framework for the hierarchical categorization of PEM content for within an EM res...
More than 90% of pediatric patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) in the United States are evaluated and treated in community-based EDs. Recent evidence suggests that mortality outcomes ma...
This was a prospective, survey-based, descriptive cohort study of EM residency graduates from 10 institutions across the United States who were <5 years out from residency training. Deidentified surve...
A total of 222 responses were obtained from 570 eligible participants (39.1%). Non-ED pediatric rotations during residency training included pediatric intensive care (60%), pediatric anesthesia (32.4%...
This survey-based cohort study found considerable variation in pediatric-specific experiences during EM residency training and in perceived comfort managing pediatric patients. In general, participant...
Ketamine and propofol are commonly used agents for sedation in the pediatric emergency department (PED). While these medications routinely provide safe sedations, there are side effects providers shou...
We created two sedation simulation cases for learners, including pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellows, working in the PED: case 1, a 12-year-old male with a shoulder dislocation requiring reduct...
Fifty-eight emergency medicine residents and PEM fellows across four sites at three institutions participated. Participants scored the simulations and the debriefing session on a 5-point Likert scale....
These cases can be utilized as resources for learners in any emergency department and can be tailored to any training background of learner providing sedation....
Women in medicine have reported gender-specific obstacles to career success, such as a dearth of mentors and role models. Pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) is a female-dominated subspecialty of pedia...
This was a qualitative study with criterion sampling of female PEM physicians. Members of the American Academy of Pediatrics Section of Emergency Medicine completed semistructured interviews in 2022, ...
Twenty-two participants were interviewed via telephone. The mean age of participants was 44 years old, and the majority (73%) identified as White, non-Hispanic, and at the rank of assistant professor ...
We identified 4 themes that could be incorporated into mentoring programs and are associated with successful experiences for women PEM physicians. The detail and descriptions in our data provide guida...
The cardiac point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is among the most impactful examinations in the evaluation of an ill child. This paper will review the English-language literature on cardiac POCUS in the ...
Pediatric emergency physicians can reliably detect decreased left-sided systolic function and pericardial effusion using POCUS. Case reports show that pediatric emergency physicians have detected righ...
While cardiac pathology in children is relatively rare, pediatric cardiac POCUS can incorporate a broad curriculum beyond systolic function and the presence of pericardial fluid. Further research shou...
