Case Report of Unusual Facial Swelling in an 8-Month-Old

Amanda E Mulcrone, MD*, Zobiya Z Momin, MD^ and Corrie E Chumpitazi, MD, MS*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8M06F Issue 6:3[mrp_rating_result]
Facial ultrasound revealed local inflammatory changes such as increased echogenicity and heterogeneity in the soft tissues of the right cheek, suggestive of soft tissue edema. There was evidence of a prominent right parotid gland with increased heterogeneity suggestive of a traumatic injury. Additionally, facial ultrasound demonstrated a 6mm ill-defined anechoic collection within the right cheek without increased doppler flow (green arrow), thought to represent a focal area of edema instead of an abscess.

Vomiting in Pediatric Patients

Alisa Wray, MD, MAEd*, Daryn Towle, MD*, Alexa Lucas, BS*, Sean Thompson, BS*, Katie Rebillot, DO^ and Nichole Niknafs, DO†

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8P363Issue 5:4[mrp_rating_result]
By the end of this TBL session, learners should be able to: 1) Identify red flag symptoms that should prompt referral for urgent intervention by GI or surgical specialists; 2) recognize how chronicity of the vomiting can alter the differential diagnosis; 3) describe the varying pathways that can cause nausea and vomiting; 4) determine the necessity of imaging tests to confirm and possibly treat various causes of vomiting; 5) interpret imaging studies associated with specific causes of vomiting.

Case Report of Untreated Pediatric Femoral Neck Fracture with Osteopenia

Sha Yan, DO*

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8S92K Issue 5:2[mrp_rating_result]
On her right hip radiograph, the patient was found to have a right femoral neck fracture with superior displacement of the intertrochanteric portion of the right femur. Moreover, the radiograph demonstrated diffuse osteopenia of the right hip and femur from chronic disuse as characterized by the increased radiolucency of the cortical bones compared to the left side.

Pediatric Sedation for Forearm Fracture

Nichole Niknafs, DO* and Alisa Wray, MD, MAEd^

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8CS7K Issue 4:1[mrp_rating_result]
At the end of this simulation, participants will: 1) review options for pain control in pediatric patients, 2) perform a pre-sedation history and physical exam, 3) review the indications and contraindications for pediatric moderate sedation, 4) understand components of consent, and get consent from the patient’s parent, 5) list medication options for moderate sedation in a pediatric patient and review their appropriate doses, indications, contraindications, and side effects, 6) discuss management of moderate sedation complications, and 7) review criteria for discharging a patient after sedation.

Paul Nicholson, MD* and Jennifer Yee, DO

DOI: https://doi.org/10.21980/J8834M Issue 4:1[mrp_rating_result]
By the end of this simulation session, the learner will be able to: 1) perform a neonatal assessment, 2) identify which neonates require resuscitation, 3) understand the principles of neonatal resuscitation, 4) describe proper airway management in neonatal resuscitation, 5) discuss underlying etiologies or pathologies that may lead to a neonate to require resuscitation, and 6) communicate effectively with team members and nursing staff during the resuscitation of a critically ill neonate.
