Fracture pain in children in the emergency department: the impact of a new pain management procedure.

Purpose: To compare compliance with the French national guidelines before and after the implementation (in 2018) of a new protocol on acute fracture pain management in the pediatric emergency department of a French university medical center.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective, before-after study in patients aged below 16 years presenting at the pediatric emergency department with a fracture. We compared pain management before (in 2017) and after (in 2019 and 2020) implementation of the new procedure.

Randomized controlled open-label trial to evaluate prioritization software for the secondary triage of patients in the pediatric emergency department.

Background: The continual increase in patient attendance at the emergency department (ED) is a worldwide health issue. The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of a secondary prioritization software reduces the patients' median length of stay (LOS) in the pediatric ED.

Methods: A randomized, controlled, open-label trial was conducted over a 30-day period between March 15th and April 23rd 2021 at Lille University Hospital.

Effect of driver gas composition on production of scaled Friedlander waveforms in an open-ended shock tube model.

With the evolution of modern warfare and the increased use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), there has been an increase in blast-induced traumatic brain injuries (bTBI) among military personnel and civilians. The increased prevalence of bTBI necessitates bTBI models that result in a properly scaled injury for the model organism being used. The primary laboratory model for bTBI is the shock tube, wherein a compressed gas ruptures a thin membrane, generating a shockwave.

Changes in pediatric emergency department visits during a COVID-19 lockdown period: An exhaustive single-center analysis.

Background: In many countries, the restrictions related to the first period of lockdown during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic led to widespread changes in health service usage in general and in emergency departments in particular. However, no comprehensive evaluation of changes has been published to date. The objective of the present study was to determine the precise impact of the 2020 lockdown on admissions to a pediatric emergency department (PED) compared to the same periods in 2018 and 2019.
