A Prospective Observational Study of EHR-Based Versus Virtual Desktop-Based Access to Pediatric Anesthesia Emergency Algorithms.

When pediatric anesthesia emergencies occur, situations can deteriorate rapidly. At our hospital, the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia's (SPA) emergency algorithms are used as cognitive aids during crises, and nurses are tasked with accessing the algorithms. Operating room nurses' typical workflow includes continuous display of the of the electronic health record (EHR) intraoperative navigator, which can delay navigating to the virtual desktop window and the algorithms' icon.

Standardized Anesthesia InductioN Tool (SAINT) - The development and international adoption of an integrated electronic tool for documenting the induction of anesthesia in children.

Background: The induction of anesthesia in children poses a challenge for the anesthesiologist, the parent and child. Anxiety and negative behaviours and strategies that effectively mitigate should be documented accurately and be available for future patient encounters. To address the need for a structured and standardized electronic documentation tool.

Post-Tonsillectomy Hemorrhage and the Diagnosis of Occult Pediatric Coagulopathies.

Objectives/hypothesis: The primary objective of this investigation was to determine rates of abnormal coagulation panels and diagnoses of coagulopathies in children with post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH). Secondary objectives identified patient demographics and hemorrhage event characteristics that correlated with a coagulopathy diagnosis.

Study Design: Case series with chart review.

Using High-Technology Simulators to Prepare Anesthesia Providers Before Implementation of a New Electronic Health Record Module: A Technical Report.

Learning to use a new electronic anesthesia information management system can be challenging. Documenting anesthetic events, medication administration, and airway management in an unfamiliar system while simultaneously caring for a patient with the vigilance required for safe anesthesia can be distracting and risky. This technical report describes a vendor-agnostic approach to training using a high-technology manikin in a simulated clinical scenario.

Enduring and sex-specific effects of adolescent social isolation in rats on adult stress reactivity.

In adolescence, gender differences in rates of affective disorders emerge. For both adolescent boys and girls, peer relationships are the primary source of life stressors though adolescent girls are more sensitive to such stressors. Social stressors are also powerful stressors for non-human social species like rodents.

Association of tetralogy of Fallot with a distinct region of del22q11.2.

Congenital heart defects (CHDs) appear in greater frequency among relatives of patients and in individuals with DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) or velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS). A majority of these patients and part of the apparently nonsyndromic CHD patients with conotruncal defects manifest hemizygous deletions within chromosome 22q11.2 (del22q11).
