Organizational Issues, Structure, and Processes of Care in 257 ICUs in Latin America: A Study From the Latin America Intensive Care Network
Conclusions: This multinational study shows major concerns in the delivery of critical care across Latin America, particularly in human resources. Technology was suboptimal, especially in public hospitals. A 24/7 availability of supporting specialists and of key procedures was inadequate. Mortality was high in comparison to high-income countries.

Virtual Pediatric Emergency Department Telehealth Network Program: A Case Series
Conclusions Previous studies have investigated the use of TM in pediatric acute care, but most studies have focused on critical care or subspecialty care in the office setting. Our experience with CR-VPED has shown that it has been feasible to provide general pediatric emergency care to patients in underserved, rural emergency departments across New Mexico. Patients requiring TM consultation were heterogeneous in age and presentation.

Pulmonary Ultrasound and Diaphragmatic Shortening Fraction Combined Analysis for Extubation-Failure-Prediction in Critical Care Patients.
CONCLUSION: In patients with a successfully SBT, the absence of B-lines significantly decreases the probability of extubation failure. Diaphragmatic shortening fraction analysis does not add predictive power over the use of pulmonary ultrasound. PMID: 30446249 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Influenza A (H1N1pdm09)-Related Critical Illness and Mortality in Mexico and Canada, 2014*
Objectives: The 2009–2010 influenza A (H1N1pdm09) pandemic caused substantial morbidity and mortality among young patients; however, mortality estimates have been confounded by regional differences in eligibility criteria and inclusion of selected populations. In 2013–2014, H1N1pdm09 became North America’s dominant seasonal influenza strain. Our objective was to compare the baseline characteristics, resources, and treatments with outcomes among critically ill patients with influenza A (H1N1pdm09) in Mexican and Canadian hospitals in 2014 using consistent eligibility criteria. Design: Observational study and a survey...

Factors Associated With Knowledge and Comfort Providing Palliative Care: A Survey of Pediatricians in Mexico.
CONCLUSIONS:: Although Mexican pediatricians have basic knowledge of palliative care concepts, they do not feel comfortable addressing palliative care needs, suggesting that the main barrier for implementing palliative care is not the lack of knowledge but rather feeling uncomfortable when addressing these issues with patients and families. Educational programs should incorporate strategies that could help physicians develop comfort in approaching palliative care patients. PMID: 30714468 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Challenges in the Provision of Pediatric Palliative Care in Mexico: A Cross-Sectional Web-Based Survey
Conclusion: We have identified several barriers to successful palliative care (PC) provision for children. Primarily, these are lack of awareness and commitment, especially of the health authorities and the medical professions, lack of personal and financial support, legal factors, and working conditions. The need to change and improve care exists at the policy level, the health professional level, and the public societal level.PMID:34898328 | DOI:10.1177/08258597211062767

Pediatric trauma in the California-Mexico border region: Injury disparities by Area Deprivation Index
BACKGROUND The California-Mexico border region is a high-volume trauma area with populations of widely disparate socioeconomic status. This work analyzed differences in demographics and mechanism of injury in children using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), a composite measure of 17 markers of neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage. METHODS A retrospective review was performed of pediatric patients evaluated at the regional Level I Pediatric Trauma Center between 2008 and 2018. Collected data included patient demographics and injury characteristics. Patient addresses were correlated to neighborhood disadvantage...

Practicing Medicine While Black
By KIP SULLIVAN, JD The managed care movement thrives on misleading words and phrases. Perhaps the worst example is the incessant use of the word “quality” to characterize a problem that has multiple causes, only one of which might be inferior physician or hospital quality. [1] To illustrate with a non-medical analogy, no one would blame auto repair mechanics if 50 percent of their customers failed to bring their cars in for regular oil changes. We would attribute the underuse of mechanics’ services to forces far beyond the mechanic’s control and would not, therefore, refer to the problem as a “quality” problem...

Epidemiology of Prehospital Care at the San Diego (USA) - Tijuana (Mexico) International Border Crossing.
CONCLUSION: This was the first study of PHP assessment and care at the San Diego-Tijuana border crossings. We found a large diversity in patient ages. Respiratory distress and blunt trauma were the most frequent complaints and oxygen was the most frequent treatment. The busiest day of the week was Sunday, and the busiest month of the year was July. Our newly described findings may assist EMS agencies with optimizing staff, equipment, and training at international border crossings. PMID: 31276428 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
