Background: Sledding is generally considered to be a relatively harmless winter leisure activity. The increased incidence of injuries, some of them severe, in our emergency department in the catchment area of several sledding slopes prompted an analysis of this patient population with respect to frequency and severity of injuries.
Patients And Methods: Based on the hospital documentation system, a retrospective evaluation of all emergency department visits in the winters 2016-2019 was performed.
Article Synopsis
- Acceleromyography is a monitoring technique that shows increased twitch response known as the staircase phenomenon, which occurs during the first 30 minutes of muscle response assessment.
- This study investigated whether tetanic prestimulation could prevent the staircase phenomenon in children, where muscle responses were measured in 80 children across different age groups.
- Results indicated that tetanic prestimulation effectively eliminated the staircase phenomenon in children, with stable TOF ratios observed, confirming its usefulness for consistent neuromuscular monitoring.
