- The study found that the busyness of the ED affected goal identification and feedback, with residents less likely to identify goals and receive feedback during busy evening shifts compared to overnight shifts.
Background: Debriefing after pediatric rapid response team activations (RRT-As) in a tertiary care children's hospital was identified to occur only sporadically. The lack of routine debriefing after RRT-As was identified as a missed learning opportunity.
Objective: We implemented a formal debriefing program and assessed staff attitudes toward and experiences with debriefing after pediatric RRT-As.
There is little data documenting cortisol levels in children with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), despite the fact that untreated adrenal insufficiency (AI) could worsen the outcome of DKA. In this cross-sectional study, we assessed serum cortisol levels in 28 children with DKA and new onset type 1 diabetes mellitus evaluated at our center over a 5-year period. Average duration of diabetes-related symptoms was positively associated with age ( P = .
