Intranasal Fentanyl as a Pain Management Modality During Dressing Changes in the Outpatient Setting
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of intranasal (IN) fentanyl versus an oral opioid for managing pain during a pediatric burn dressing change in the outpatient setting. Methods: Previously healthy children with burn injuries who underwent dressing changes in the outpatient setting were prospectively enrolled in a comparative trial. The patients were matched based on demographics, burn size, and location. The patients were divided into two treatment groups: One group received IN fentanyl immediately before their dressing change, whereas the other group received an oral opioid 30 minutes ...

An Unusual Etiology of Chest Pain in a Patient With a History of Left-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: A Case Report
Abstract: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a discontinuity of the diaphragm in which abdominal viscera herniates into the chest (Hedrick & Adzick, 2016). A 16-year-old female patient with a past medical history of a left-sided CDH presented with severe pain to her left upper quadrant and chest. An initial diagnosis was made of a recurrent CDH and subsequent herniation of the left kidney into the thoracic space. Intraoperatively, her previous diaphragmatic repair was found to be intact, but a sharp bony protrusion, determined to be an exostosis of the posterior lateral aspect of one of her ribs, was noted. Rongeurs ...

Impact of Care in a Multidisciplinary Clinic on a Child With Ultrashort Gut
Abstract: Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is a condition characterized by dependence on total parenteral nutrition due to the inability of the intestines to absorb adequate nutrients, electrolytes, and water. SBS is most commonly seen in pediatric patients after extensive small bowel resection due to necrotizing enteroclolitis, intestinal atresias, gastroschisis, or volvulus (Cummings & Mercurio, 2012). The management of children with SBS focuses on maximizing enteral nutrition while mitigating the potential life-threatening complications of central venous line infections and liver failure. The process of slowly advancing enter...

When Interactions Between Young Children and Dogs Become Dangerous: Case Review
Abstract: Dog bites are an important public health problem and often require significant medical and surgical care, especially among younger children. Although decades of research and clinical experience have revealed specific risk factors and potential avenues for the prevention of dog bite injuries to children, the problem remains widespread and serious. Prevention efforts underway largely target older children with limited focus on how to protect the infants and toddlers who experience the most serious morbidity and mortality from dog bite injuries. Recent research on the relationship between parent supervision and dog ...
