Validity evidence for a team-leading assessment tool in pediatric emergency resuscitations using video review.

Background: Effective leadership of health care action teams has demonstrated positive influence on team performance and patient care, but there is no consensus on how to assess these skills. We developed a novel team leadership assessment tool for leaders of interprofessional pediatric resuscitation teams and collected validity evidence for this tool using video review.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study from November 2021 to October 2022.

Bias between capnometry and venous carbon dioxide during initial assessment of pediatric emergency department patients: A video-based study.

Objective: The bias of capnometry (ETCO) and venous carbon dioxide (vpCO) among pediatric emergency department (PED) patients triaged to critical care areas is unknown. We aimed to explore correlations and bias between ETCO and vpCO¸and identify predictors of bias.

Methods: This was an observational, video-based, retrospective study comparing ETCO and vpCO.

Rapid cycle deliberate practice to improve airway skills and performance of trainees in a pediatric emergency department.

Objective: The study objective was to determine the effect of a rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) program on simulated and actual airway skills by pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) fellows.

Methods: We designed and implemented a 12-month RCDP airway skills curriculum for PEM fellows at an academic pediatric institution. The curriculum was designed using airway training literature, RCDP principals, and internal quality assurance airway video review program.

What to know about 2.0: Revisions to the pediatric emergency medicine milestones.

Introduction: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) adopted educational milestones for trainee assessment in 2013, as a key component of the Next Accreditation System. Two years later, the ACGME, American Board of Pediatrics (ABP), and American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) collaborated to create specialty-specific subcompetencies in pediatric emergency medicine (PEM). Since that time, emerging data have demonstrated the need to revise specialty milestones.

Going viral: A scoping review of the current state and impact of online research dissemination in emergency medicine.

Background: The use of free open-access medical education (FOAM) and other online knowledge dissemination methods has increased over the past decade. However, the role and impact of these tools in the knowledge translation continuum are poorly understood, potentially limiting the ability of knowledge generators to fully harness and exploit their potential. Here, we aim to comprehensively map and synthesize the literature describing the use of online tools for the dissemination of emergency medicine research.

Video screen visualization patterns when using a video laryngoscope for tracheal intubation: A systematic review.

Objective: Published studies of video laryngoscopes are often limited by the lack of a clear definition of video laryngoscopy (VL). We performed a systematic review to determine how often published studies of VL report on video screen visualization.

Methods: We searched PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus for interventional and observational studies in which a video laryngoscope equipped with a standard geometry blade was used for tracheal intubation.

Pediatric emergency medicine fellowship point-of-care ultrasound training in 2020.

Objectives: The primary objective was to survey pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) leaders and fellows regarding point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training in PEM fellowship programs, including teaching methods, training requirements, and applications taught. Secondary objectives were to compare fellows' and program leaders' perceptions of fellow POCUS competency and training barriers.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey of U.

An evidence-based review of primary spontaneous pneumothorax in the adolescent population.

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a relatively common problem in emergency medicine. The incidence of PSP peaks in adolescence and is most common in tall, thin males. Recent advances in the care of patients with PSP have called into question traditional approaches to management.

The impact of public health interventions on critical illness in the pediatric emergency department during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Study Objective: The impact of public health interventions during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic on critical illness in children has not been studied. We seek to determine the impact of SARS-CoV-2 related public health interventions on emergency healthcare utilization and frequency of critical illness in children.

Methods: This was an interrupted time series analysis conducted at a single tertiary pediatric emergency department (PED).
