Methods: In this retrospective chart review, patients aged 0-18 years who underwent congenital heart surgery at a single institution between January and December, 2017 were reviewed.

Perioperative ketorolac analgesia for patients undergoing adenoidectomy: A retrospective analysis.

Objective: To analyze a case series of adenoidectomy patients who received interoperative ketorolac. To also analyze a case series of adenoidectomy patients who did not receive ketorolac.

Method: This is a retrospective chart review, analyzing 429 patients aged 2-18 years of age who underwent adenoidectomy without tonsillectomy.

Post-traumatic Stress Disorder in Family-witnessed Resuscitation of Emergency Department Patients.

Introduction: Family presence during emergency resuscitations is increasingly common, but the question remains whether the practice results in psychological harm to the witness. We examine whether family members who witness resuscitations have increased post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms at one month following the event.

Methods: We identified family members of critically ill patients via our emergency department (ED) electronic health record.

Association of ultrasound-related interruption during cardiopulmonary resuscitation with adult cardiac arrest outcomes: A video-reviewed retrospective study.

Objectives: To determine the association of focused transthoracic echocardiography (ECHO) related interruption during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with patient outcomes in the Emergency Department (ED).

Methods: This was a retrospective, single center, cohort study, conducted in an urban community teaching ED. Eligible study subjects were adult patients in the ED with sustained cardiac arrest.

Comparison of intravenous lidocaine/ketorolac combination to either analgesic alone for suspected renal colic pain in the ED.

Study Objective: To compare analgesic efficacy and safety of intravenous lidocaine and ketorolac combination to each analgesic alone for ED patients with suspected renal colic.

Methods: We conducted a randomized, double-blind trial comparing analgesic efficacy of a combination of intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg) and ketorolac (30 mg), to ketorolac (30 mg), and to lidocaine (1.
