Clinical Outcomes and Laboratory Values of Infants with COVID-19 among Several Maternal Variables: A Retrospective Cohort.

Background: Infants younger than 6 months of age are not eligible for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations. Maternal variables during pregnancy and the postnatal period may affect the clinical and laboratory course of COVID-19 positive infants.

Objectives: To assess the clinical manifestation and laboratory differences in infants with three maternal variables: breastfeeding, vaccinated, and co-illness.

Focal and generalized onset seizures in children post-COVID (Omicron) recovery: 3 clinical case reports.

Description of three cases of 4-7-year-old male children presenting with a seizure without a prior history of epilepsy, 2-4 weeks after recovering from COVID-19. All three children were admitted to the pediatric department at Laniado Hospital in Netanya, Israel, and presented with seizures without fever. We found common characteristics among the children that can imply a predisposition for neurological complications of Covid-19.

Pediatric Intraosseous Access Performed by Emergency Department Nurses Using Semiautomatic Devices: A Randomized Crossover Simulation Study.

Background: No study has examined the performance of emergency department (ED) nurses in establishing intraosseous access (IO) access. This study aimed to evaluate ED nurses' success rate in establishing pediatric IO access using semiautomatic devices.

Methods: A randomized crossover simulation study was conducted.

The Added Value of the Lateral Chest Radiograph for Diagnosing Community Acquired Pneumonia in the Pediatric Emergency Department.

Background: Opinions differ as to the need of a lateral radiograph for diagnosing community acquired pneumonia in children referred to the emergency department. A lateral radiograph increases the ionizing radiation burden but at the same time may improve specificity and sensitivity in this population.

Objectives: To determine the value of the frontal and lateral chest radiographs compared to frontal view stand-alone images for the management of children with suspected community acquired pneumonia seen in a pediatric emergency department.

Who should be reading chest radiographs in the pediatric emergency department?

Background: Pediatric emergency department chest radiographs are frequently interpreted by the pediatrician, and patient management is based on this interpretation.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the chest radiograph interpretation discordance rate between pediatricians and pediatric radiologists and determine its clinical significance.

Methods: This study included 1196 patients admitted off-hours to the pediatric emergency department who had chest radiographs as part of the clinical evaluation.
