Drug shortage-associated increase in catheter-related blood stream infection in children.
Pediatrics
November 2012
Section of Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, The University of Michigan Medical School and the CS Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Background: Ethanol lock therapy (ELT) has been shown to reduce the incidence of catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) in intestinal failure (IF) patients. Dosing and frequency remains undefined. Scrutiny of pharmaceutical facilities by the Food and Drug Administration led to the voluntary shutdown of the sole supplier of ethanol, resulting in a nationwide shortage.

J Pediatr Surg
January 2010
Section of Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, The University of Michigan Medical School and The CS Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Purpose: The fistula first initiative has led to increased efforts to create arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) as primary dialysis access. Two-stage basilic vein transposition (BVT) allows maturation of smaller veins, often a limiting factor in the pediatric population, before elevation and use. We sought to determine whether using 2-stage BVT improves maturation, use, and patency compared with other AVFs, including arteriovenous (AV) grafts.

J Pediatr Surg
May 2009
Department of Surgery, Section of Pediatric Surgery, The University of Michigan Medical School and The CS Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.
Purpose: The Canadian C-spine (cervical spine) Rule (CCR) and the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Low-Risk Criteria (NLC) are criteria designed to guide C-spine radiography in trauma patients. It is unclear how these 2 rules compare with young children.
Methods: This study retrospectively examined case-matched trauma patients 10 years or younger.
Right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia: high utilization of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and high survival.
J Pediatr Surg
May 2009
Department of Surgery, Section of Pediatric Surgery, The University of Michigan Medical School and The CS Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, USA.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to assess the treatment strategies and outcome of right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (R-CDH), particularly extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Methods: We reviewed the cases of 42 patients treated for R-CDH at our institution from 1991 to 2006. We gathered demographic information, documented ECMO use and the type of surgical repair, and compared outcomes with predicted survival as calculated by the CDH Study Group's equation.
Impact of work-hour restrictions on residents' operative volume on a subspecialty surgical service.
J Am Coll Surg
May 2005
Department of Surgery, Section of Pediatric Surgery, University of Michigan, and the CS Mott Children's Hospital, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of the 80-hour workweek limit on pediatric surgical residents, comparing their operative experiences before and after the limit was implemented.
- Residents performed a similar number of cases, with slight increases in specific procedures for senior residents, but overall operative experience remained stable.
- However, there was a significant reduction in their participation in outpatient clinics, suggesting that while their surgical experience may not have been heavily affected, their clinical exposure outside the operating room suffered.
