Pectus Excavatum: A Multimodal Pathway for Patients Undergoing the Nuss Procedure
Pectus excavatum is a chest wall deformity affecting 1 in 400-1,000 births. There are two surgical correction techniques to repair this chest wall deformity; the Ravitch procedure and the Nuss procedure. Pain issues after the Nuss procedure are potentially more significant than those after the open repair, although minimally invasive. The pain issues have significant impacts on the capacity for deep breathing, early mobilization/ambulation, opioid consumption, and length of hospital stay. CHOP has developed an enhanced multimodal pathway for patients undergoing the procedure. The work group included general surgeons, anest...

Postoperative Intussusception: A Case Study
Postoperative intussusception is a known yet very uncommon postoperative complication after abdominal surgeries, including ostomy takedown. Early recognition of the symptoms of postoperative intussusception is important for both bedside nurses and nurse practitioners. Understanding clinical features and how to approach diagnosis and management are imperative for the nurse practitioner and the entire surgical team.

The Impact of Early Ambulation in the Pediatric Postoperative Appendectomy Patient
Abstract: The purposes of this study were to quantify the mean time to ambulate in a population of pediatric postoperative appendectomy patients at a stand-alone children’s hospital and to identify the associations between mean time to ambulate with admitting floor, patient age, pain medication, occurrence of nausea and vomiting, and length of stay. For decades, it has been suggested that extended immobilization in the postoperative patient should be avoided. Scant literature is available addressing early ambulation for pediatric patients after appendectomy. In practice, we noted that patients are not routinely ambulated...

Intussusception Mimicking Rectal Prolapse in a 5-Month-Old Infant
Abstract: Although rare, an ileocolic intussusception extending to the rectum can mimic a rectal prolapse, which may result in delayed diagnosis and treatment, thereby increasing morbidity in affected infants. Anal prolapse of an ileocolic intussusception is a rare complication of intussusception and more rarely reported in the United States than in developing countries. The aim of this case report is to identify physical exam techniques and radiological findings to distinguish between an anal prolapse intussusception versus a rectal prolapse. There needs to be a high index of suspicion of intussusception in presenting pat...

Development of a Pediatric Educational Tool: Helping Burns Heal…An Adventure for Kids With Burns
Conclusions: This resource has provided beneficial information with navigating the burn center, how it functions, and the expectations to both pediatric inpatients and outpatients as reported by their families. Having a similar educational resource for older pediatric patients, young adults, and adults would be equally as beneficial, perhaps developed on a beginner, intermediate, and advanced level. Applicability of Research to Practice: This educational tool answers many common questions about being a patient in the burn center. A resource specific for pediatric patients can be used to assist with understanding and copin...

Silver Sulfadiazine or Biobrane Dressings: Which is the Best Treatment for Partial Thickness Burns in Pediatrics?
Background: In the treatment of partial thickness burns in pediatrics, silver sulfadiazine (SSD) has been widely used. Biobrane, a biosynthetic dressing, has gained popularity for treatment as well for its promotion of epithelial growth. Nonetheless, there is limited information on the comparison of SSD and Biobrane for the treatment of partial-thickness burns in children. This literature review aimed to provide objective data on increased epithelial growth and decreased infection risk of SSD and Biobrane. Purpose: The aim of this study was to conduct a literature review to examine the use of Biobrane dressings in compari...

Creation of a Pediatric Burn Clinic: A Model for Change
Pediatric burns are a major source of morbidity and healthcare expenditure in the United States. Options and availability for outpatient pediatric burn treatment can be limited, potentially leading to high medical costs and delay in proper treatment. In our local community, there was no adequate, cost-effective outpatient treatment for patients with pediatric burn. In 2007, clinicians who specialize in pediatric burn care developed an outpatient pediatric burn clinic. The treatment team consisted of a pediatric nurse practitioner and four pediatric surgeons from the local children's hospital. Since opening, over 1,200 pati...
