Comparison of oximeters for the detection of critical congenital heart diseases.

Introduction And Objectives: In some centers, the pulse oximetry is not performed with the justification of lack of the adequate oximeter. We compared the effectiveness of two brands of oximeters to perform it.

Methods: In neonates, a term of the joint housing service of the Hospital General de Occidente in Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico, from May to November 2018, an examination of the characteristics of the American Academy of Pediatrics with both oximeters (ChoiceMMed® and Masimo SET®) was carried out, comparing the detection of critical congenital heart disease, time of intake, and false positives.

[Proximal pancreatectomy in a case of nesidioblastosis].

A 19 moth-old child who presented seizures secondary to intractable hypoglycemia, fulfilling the clinical and biochemical criteria for hyperinsulinism was studied. Histopathological findings of the pancreas showed the presence of small clusters of b cell islets throughout acinar tissue near ducts, in both the head and the proximal third of the body. Proximal pancreatectomy (60%) and distal pancreatic-jejunostomy (Roux-in-Y) were performed.
