Pain management in children with burns before admission to the ward: Analysis of selected parts of pre-hospital medical records.

Background: The extent of pre-hospital medical care (PHMC) given to burned patients affects both the patient's condition and the effectiveness of treatment.

Objectives: To improve the quality of PHMC of burns in children, based upon an analysis of the selected parts of pre-hospital medical records, with particular emphasis on analgesia.

Material And Methods: Medical records were used to analyze how PHMC was given to 117 burned children aged 0-18 years, treated at the Pediatric Surgery Ward between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2017.

[Can infrascanner be useful in hospital emergency departments for diagnosing minor head injury in children?].

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine whether Infrascanner screening is a test which would facilitate excluding acute intracranial bleeding in children after minor head injury and thus make it possible to limit indications for computed tomography in those children.

Material And Methods: The study enrolled 155 children aged 2-18 years after a minor or moderate head injury. The children were assessed using the Glasgow Coma Scale, examined by Infrascanner screening.

[Minor head trauma - trivial matter or sirious diagnostic and therapeutic problem? The role of Infrascanner in the diagnostic process].

Head injuries in children, especially minor head injuries, still constitute a important diagnostic and therapeutic problem. Despite progress in medical sciences, there is no definition of minor head injury or standards of the management of children with a minor head injury. In consequence, the diagnostic procedure in the child who does not show any signs of central nervous system damage as a result of head injury is individual and depends on the experience and knowledge of the aid provider and as well as procedures established in a given ward.

We have analysed the diagnostic and treatment results in the group of 31 children aged 0 to 6 months. For 19 children registered between 1993 and 1996, event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (AS) were assessed.
