Background: Children with skin disorders usually receive care from a pediatrician, despite their limited training in this discipline. The advice of a dermatologist is frequently requested.
Objectives: To estimate the degree of concordance in the diagnosis, treatment, advice, and recommended follow-up of skin disorders between pediatricians (in private practice or a pediatric emergency department [PED]) and a dermatologist.
Objectives: To develop a reliable and validated tool to evaluate technical resuscitation skills in a pediatric simulation setting.
Study Design: Four Resuscitation and Emergency Simulation Checklist for Assessment in Pediatrics (RESCAPE) evaluation tools were created, following international guidelines: intraosseous needle insertion, bag mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, and cardiac massage. We applied a modified Delphi methodology evaluation to binary rating items.
Allergic drug reactions must always be considered when prescribing treatment, even in frequent pediatric problems such as acute abdominal pain due to constipation. We describe an original case of anaphylactic shock due to the administration of hypertonic rectal enema in a child. A 9-year-old child admitted to the emergency department for an acute complaint of abdominal pain related to constipation received an administration of a hypertonic rectal enema to allow the passage of stools.
