Sedation and anesthesia for imaging of the infant and neonate-a brief review.

Sedation and anesthesia are often required in order to facilitate collection of high-quality imaging studies free of significant motion artifact for infants and neonates. Provision of safe sedation and anesthesia requires good communication between the ordering provider, radiologist, and anesthesiologist, careful pre-procedural evaluation of the patient, and availability of appropriate and sufficient equipment, drugs, personnel, and facilities. There are many additional factors to be considered for provision of safe sedation or anesthesia for infants and neonates-it is ideal to involve a fellowship-trained pediatric anesthesiologist in the planning and carry-out of these plans.

Factors Affecting Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement During Pediatric Trauma Resuscitation.

Introduction: Intravenous access is required for resuscitation of injured patients but may be delayed in children because of challenges associated with peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheter placement. Early identification of factors predisposing patients to difficult PIV placement can assist in deciding strategies for timely intravenous access.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, video-based review of injured children and adolescents treated between April 2018 and May 2019.

Understanding Digital Checklist Use Through Team Communication.

Introducing technology support in a complex, team-based work setting requires a study of teamwork effects on technology use. In this paper, we present our initial analysis of team communications in a trauma resuscitation setting, where we deployed a digital checklist to support trauma team leaders in guiding patient care. By analyzing speech transcripts, checklist interaction logs, and videos of 15 resuscitations, we identified several tensions that arose from the use of a checklist in a team-based process with multi-step tasks.

Inadequate Accessibility: Why Uber Should Be a Public Accommodation Under the Americans With Disabilities Act.

This Comment will focus on Uber and its obligations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). While it may seem logical that Uber should adhere to the same ADA regulations as taxis, the relevant ADA provision only applies to private entities that are primarily engaged in the business of transporting people. To avoid these regulations, Uber asserts that it is primarily a technology company, rather than primarily a transportation company.
