Communication of medical errors in a simulated clinical scenario. Experience with a pediatric residency group.

Objective: To determine the performance of groups of pediatric residents from a Buenos Aires hospital, in terms of correct recognition and communication of a medical error (ME), in a high-fidelity simulation scenario. To describe the reactions and communication attempts following the ME and the self-perception by the trainees before and after a debriefing.

Methods: Quasi-experimental uncontrolled study conducted in a simulation center.

[Immune-mediated encephalitis in a child with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection].

Encephalitis are frequent clinical pictures in pediatric age. They can be divided into those caused by infection of the central nervous system and those of immune-mediated etiology (some of which may be para- or post-infectious). In March 2020, the WHO declared a SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Diffusion of dye after perineural injection of the palmar/plantar nerves in two different sites in horses: an ex-vivo study.

This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of dye at two perineural injection sites of the palmar/plantar nerves and describe their anatomical variations of positioning at the level of the distal metacarpus/metatarsus in horses. Two ml of 1% methylene blue solution was injected in 24 limbs (12 forelimbs and 12 hindlimbs) of horse cadavers at two different points: Group 1: between the branch of the suspensory ligament and deep digital flexor tendon, and Group 2: between the deep and superficial digital flexor tendons. This was followed by dissection and evaluation of the solution diffusion.

Assessment of emergency trolley drugs in a children's hospital. Before and after study on an educational intervention.

Introduction: The approach to pediatric emergencies requires specialized resources, and medication errors are common.

Objectives: To describe the contents of emergency trolleys (ETs) in a children's hospital and compare them after an educational intervention.

Methods: The ETs from 9 hospitalization wards were included.

[Evaluation Exercise Vaccination status inquiry and hierarchy of prevention and health education opportunities. Experience in a Pediatric Residency using the Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise].

Introduction: The Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) is a formative tool with two descriptors assessing the inquiry of vaccination status and the hierarchy of prevention opportunities. Objectives. Determine the prevalence of both items in pediatric controls and spontaneous demands.

[Saint Louis encephalitis: case report].

Saint Louis encephalitis is transmitted by Culex mosquitoes. In Argentina sporadic cases are registered. Symptomatic illness is unusual in children.

[Using descriptors during the implementation of Mini-CEX at pediatric residency].

Unlabelled: The Mini Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Mini-CEX) is an assessment tool, which emphasizes the educational value and is based on direct performance observation. The objective was to evaluate the reliability and feasibility of Mini-CEX using pediatric descriptors during its implementation in two pediatric residency programs. The design was observational, exploratory and feasibility in the use of this evaluation tool.
