Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied the phone calls made to medical residents while they were on call to understand how many calls they received and why they got them.
- Over two periods of four weeks, they collected data from 10 residents about 460 calls, with most coming from nurses and doctors during weekday nights and weekends.
- Most residents thought that most of the calls were important, showing that being on call involves a lot of important work and decision-making.
Introduction: Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scintigraphy is the gold standard in the evaluation of renal parenchymal defects and is widely used in the pediatric population. As more recent ultrasound equipment was purchased at our tertiary pediatric centre, our objective was to evaluate if renal ultrasound (US) results are equivalent or sufficient when compared to DMSA scintigraphy in the assessment of renal anomalies.
Methods: The charts of all 463 patients who underwent DMSA scintigraphy between January 2009 and May 2014 at our pediatric tertiary centre were reviewed.
