Recurrent Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in a Pediatric Patient With End-stage Renal Disease
Conclusions: PRES should be considered in all patients presenting to the ED with visual loss, seizures, or headache, and can be recurrent in some individuals. Prompt treatment can help prevent permanent vision loss.

Patterns of use of somatosensory-evoked potentials for comatose patients in Canada
Conclusions There are significant opportunities to optimize the use of SEPs in comatose patients including standardizing SEP testing and reporting, better communicating results to critical care physicians, and improving the understanding regarding the recommended use and interpretation of these tests.

Pediatric Acute Ischemic Cerebral Vascular Accidents: A Case Report
Abstract: An 8-year-old girl presented to the pediatric emergency department (ED) with left-sided weakness. Workup consisted of labs and imaging including magnetic resonance imaging showing an acute ischemic stroke. Literature regarding pediatric acute ischemic stroke is minimal, and there are few protocols guiding care in the pediatric population. Current recommendations include treatment with unfractionated heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) with subsequent daily aspirin prophylaxis. Further large scale studies are needed to produce protocols and generalizable treatment plans.

Accuracy of Point-of-Care Ultrasonography for Pediatric Ankle Sprain Injuries
Conclusions In this pilot study, we established that POCUS diagnosed the specific pathology of radiograph-negative lateral ankle injuries with poor sensitivity but good specificity. Thus, POCUS could act as a tool to exclude significant ligamentous and radiographically occult bony injury in these cases. A larger study is needed to validate the utility of POCUS for this common injury.

Experience With a Care Process Model in the Evaluation of Pediatric Musculoskeletal Infections in a Pediatric Emergency Department
This study describes the implementation and impact of a CPM for the evaluation of musculoskeletal infections in a pediatric emergency department (ED). Methods A retrospective pre-post intervention study was performed to analyze the impact of a musculoskeletal infection CPM. Patients were identified retrospectively through electronic order history for imaging of an extremity or joint and recommended laboratory tests. Clinical outcomes evaluated included hospital length of stay (LOS), time to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), time to administration of antibiotics, hospital admission rate, and 30-day readmission rate. Res...

Pediatric Abdominal Tuberculosis With Calcified Intra-abdominal Lymph Nodes Identified by Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Conclusions In the right clinical setting, the concurrent presence of intra-abdominal lymphadenopathy, ascites, mesenteric thickening, ileocecal thickening, and splenic microabscesses on ultrasound imaging should lead to consideration of the diagnosis of intra-abdominal tuberculosis. Although typically diagnosed on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging, in our case, POCUS helped facilitate the bedside diagnosis of abdominal tuberculosis in the emergency department.

Fast Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging With Half-Fourier Acquisition With Single-Shot Turbo Spin Echo Sequence in Detection of Intracranial Hemorrhage and Skull Fracture in General Pediatric Patients: Preliminary Results
Conclusions Our results show that fast brain MRI with HASTE sequence is as sensitive as CT and standard MRI in the detection of intra-axial hemorrhage and has moderate sensitivity in the detection of extra-axial hemorrhage. Our preliminary results show that T2-weighted HASTE imaging may be suitable for the follow-up of intraparenchymal and extra-axial (subdural and/or epidural) hemorrhages.

Clinical Characteristics of Acute Hematogenous Osteomyelitis With and Without Subperiosteal Abscesses in the Acute Care Setting
Conclusions Clinicians in acute care settings should have a high index of suspicion of AHO with SPAs in children with history of fever, decreased range of motion, or elevated laboratory values (white blood cell, absolute neutrophil count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and C-reactive protein). In particular, those with a significantly elevated CRP are at a higher risk for having AHO with SPAs in comparison with an uncomplicated AHO. However, with the significant overlap in historical and clinical variables in the initial presentations of children with AHO with and without SPAs, the clinical urgency in obtaining a magn...

Increased Lateral Tibial Slope Is a Risk Factor for Pediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: An MRI-Based Case-Control Study of 152 Patients
Conclusion: The LTS was significantly associated with an increased risk of ACL injury in pediatric and adolescent patients. The MTS was not associated with risk of injury. Posterior slope was found to decrease, or flatten, with age. A cutoff of >4° for the posterior slope of the lateral compartment is 76% sensitive and 75% specific for predicting ACL injury in this cohort. The LTS did not influence the incidence of ACL injury differently between sexes.

Complications of Candidemia in ICU Patients: Endophthalmitis, Osteomyelitis, Endocarditis
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2015; 36: 641-649DOI: 10.1055/s-0035-1562891Bloodstream infection with Candida species is not uncommon in the intensive care unit setting and has the potential to distribute organisms to many different organ systems causing secondary infections, such as endophthalmitis, osteomyelitis, and endocarditis. In some patients, these types of infections become manifested shortly after the episode of candidemia. In others, especially vertebral osteomyelitis, weeks pass before the diagnosis is entertained. Endophthalmitis should be sought by a retinal examination in all patients early after an episode of c...

The Role of Limited Head Computed Tomography in the Evaluation of Pediatric Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Malfunction
Conclusions: Our pilot study demonstrates that utilization of limited head CT scan in the evaluation of children with suspected VP shunt malfunction is a feasible strategy for the evaluation of the ventricular size. Further prospective and multidisciplinary studies are needed to evaluate the reliability of limited head CT for the clinical evaluation of VP shunt malfunction.

Diagnosis of an Intraventricular Cyst Using Point-of-Care Cranial Ultrasound in the Pediatric Emergency Department
Abstract: A 2-month-old previously healthy male infant presents with 2 days of unusual eye movements and increased fatigue. During evaluation in the pediatric emergency department, point-of-care cranial ultrasound identified a cyst-like mass. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the presence of a cyst within the third ventricle causing obstructive hydrocephalus.

Critical Care Management ofVerapamil and Diltiazem Overdose With a Focus on Vasopressors: A 25-Year Experience at a Single Center
Conclusion: In our series of patients admitted with verapamil or diltiazem overdose, hypotension was common and managed with the use of multiple vasopressors and without hyperinsulinemic euglycemia in all but 3 cases. Despite high doses of vasopressors, ischemic complications were the exception and were usually present before use of vasopressors. Death occurred in a single patient whose death was not attributed directly to calcium-channel blocker toxicity. Vasopressor use after verapamil or diltiazem overdose was associated with good clinical outcomes without permanent sequelae.
