Visualizing the Real Time Reduction of Pulled Elbow Using Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS).
POCUS J
November 2024
Paediatric Emergency Department, Sunderland Royal Hospital Sunderland UK.
POCUS is a useful tool for correctly identifying pulled elbow. We believe that clinicians working in Pediatric Emergency Departments should be encouraged to embrace using it in cases which are less straightforward - either due to an atypical history or based on examination findings. This will serve to not only increase safety and improve the patient journey, but also to improve the clinician's confidence in their practice.

- Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is characterized by the heart's inability to pump blood outside of a hospital setting, with immediate coronary angiography (CAG) recommended for patients with ST-elevation but less clear for those without it.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of early CAG on mortality and neurological outcomes in OHCA patients without ST-elevation, analyzing data from 18 selected studies.
- The findings indicated that early CAG did not significantly improve survival or neurological recovery when compared to delayed CAG for this group of patients.
Background: In the UK, bariatric surgical patients are followed up for 2 years post-operatively in hospital settings, before being discharged into General Practice for long-term follow-up. Presently, there is ambiguous guidance as to what should be included in a community-based bariatric surgical follow-up service. The aim of the study was to understand, from both patient and professional perspectives, what is needed to support the long-term management of bariatric surgical patients in community-based settings.

- * A study evaluated real-world data from 389 DLBCL patients across Europe, focusing on clinical effectiveness and safety outcomes over 30 months.
- * Key findings revealed high survival rates (86% at 12 months) and a significant proportion of patients (82%) achieving a complete response to CT-P10, with adverse events aligning with typical chemotherapy effects, indicating its potential as a viable treatment option for DLBCL.
Article Synopsis
- Acute asthma exacerbations in children are common, but the use of established severity scores in emergency departments is unclear.
- A review identified 17 asthma severity scores based on various parameters, with key factors being wheeze, respiratory rate, and muscle use; however, only a third of surveyed centers currently assess severity.
- Standardized severity scores are seldom utilized in pediatric settings, indicating a need for better data collection on common parameters to enhance research and auditing of pediatric asthma care.
