Objectives: To assess the knowledge and practice preferences of anaphylaxis in pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) physicians by practice setting, and to identify factors associated with intramuscular (IM) epinephrine administration and admission of patients with anaphylaxis.
Study Design: The cohort was a cross-sectional convenience sample; potential participants were recruited using contact information obtained from the American Board of Pediatrics and American Board of Medical Specialties membership databases and were asked to complete a 12 item survey. Board-certified PEM physicians were categorized by practice setting: university hospital, non-university hospital with a residency training program, or community hospital with no residency training program.
Background: Pediatric fMRI may require sedation. The aim of this study is to compare different sedation schemes to determine which medication yields least failures and the best activation.
Methods: A total of 100 children who had fMRI performed as part of the work up for epilepsy surgery, were divided into different medication groups (Pentobarbital, Propofol, Dexmedetomidine, Sevoflurane).
