This week we review a recent meta-analysis of studies assessing efficacy of adenosine in children to terminate SVT. Does the PALS recommendation of 100 mcg/kg as a starting dose for SVT management make scientific sense given what we know about the efficacy rates of this dose? Why might inadequate doses be potentially dangerous for children with acute SVT? Is there adequate data to consider changes to the recommended starting dose in this situation? Dose adenosine work well for all forms of tachycardia involving the AV node? Pediatric emergency physician and family medicine physician, Dr. Lais dos Santos of Mossoro', Brazil shares the results of a large scale meta-analysis that she performed and offers some answers to these and other questions. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-026-04281-5

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I'm joined by Michelle Perro, M.D. — integrative pediatrician, environmental medicine specialist, and CEO and founder of [GMO Science](https://gmoscience.org) — for a detailed look at how genetically modified organisms have reshaped the American food supply and what families can do to protect themselves. Dr. Perro began researching the intersection of GMOs, pesticides, and children's health in the early 2000s, and this conversation reflects more than two decades of that clinical work.

Send us Fan Mail summaryIn this episode of the Tracheostomy Education Podcast, Nicole DePalma continues the two-part discussion on decannulation with Dr. Jerry Gentile. This episode focuses on what happens after a patient is tolerating capping, how long to monitor before trach removal, the role of FEES in evaluating secretion management and aspiration risk, and what clinicians should know about failed or accidental decannulation. Nicole and Jerry discuss the importance of assessing whether the original reason for the tracheostomy has resolved, whether the patient can manage secretions, and whether there is adequate upper airway patency. Nicole explains how Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing, or FEES, can help evaluate secretion management, aspiration, cough strength, sensation, swallowing safety, and airway patency when determining whether a patient is ready for decannulation from a SLP perspective. The conversation also covers the transition from capping to trach removal, including monitoring patients for 24 to 72 hours, watching for increased work of breathing, changes in CO₂, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, coughing ability, and aspiration concerns. Jerry explains what happens after the trach is removed, how the stoma is covered, and why patients may need continued monitoring after decannulation. Nicole and Jerry also review failed decannulation, signs that a patient may need recannulation, and the risks associated with accidental decannulation. They discuss when clinicians should call respiratory therapy, why reinserting a trach can be dangerous if not done correctly, and complications such as false tracking and subcutaneous emphysema. Topics covered in this episode include: The role of FEES in decannulation readiness  Secretion management and aspiration risk  Airway patency and when to involve ENT  Capping trials and 24–72 hour monitoring  Oxygen delivery during speaking valve use, capping, and after decannulation  Stoma care after trach removal  Failed decannulation and signs of respiratory decline  Accidental decannulation and when to call respiratory therapy  Risks of false tracking and subcutaneous emphysema  Pediatric considerations for decannulationSupport the showhttps://tracheostomyeducation.cominstagram.com/tracheostomyeducationlinkedin.com/in/nicole-de-palma-708b16blinkedin.com/in/dr-jerry-gentile

This week we go back 2.5 years and delve into the world of cardiovascular surgery when we review a review of STS data on the pulmonary artery band (PAB). The STS assigns a STAT category of 4 to this operation, denoting higher risk for mortality. Is this warranted? Are all PAB candidates equal? What features are associated with higher or lower mortality rates in patients undergoing banding? Should the data in this work drive innovation to avoid the PAB in some settings? These are amongst the questions posed to the senior author of this week's work, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Tara Karamlou who is Professor of Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio. DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2023.09.020

Show Notes What does it take to walk into a room full of suffering and keep showing up? In this episode of Real Women's Work, I revisit a conversation with Carolyn Flynn, a registered nurse who spent ten years caring for critically ill children in a pediatric burn unit. What I remembered as a conversation about nursing turns out to be something much deeper: a conversation about purpose, resilience, teamwork, and what it means to help people through the hardest moments of their lives. Carolyn shares what it's really like to work in an environment where every day can bring life-and-death decisions, heartbreaking stories, unexpected joy, and extraordinary acts of compassion. She talks about the unique culture of nursing, where independence and teamwork coexist, and where help arrives without needing to be asked for. One of the most powerful moments in our conversation comes when Carolyn describes her very first day in a pediatric burn unit—a day she thought might prove she wasn't capable of doing the work. Instead, it revealed exactly where she belonged. This episode is ultimately about something bigger than healthcare. It's about finding meaning in service, showing up when outcomes are uncertain, and discovering that success isn't always measured by what you can fix. In This Episode Why nursing requires both fierce independence and deep teamwork The reality of working in a pediatric burn unit How medical teams support one another during crises What Carolyn learned on her first day as a nurse The role of compassion when you can't change the outcome Finding joy and connection in difficult circumstances Why Carolyn believes her purpose is to make people as comfortable as possible The moments that reminded her she was exactly where she needed to be Memorable Quote "My purpose is to make other people as comfortable as I possibly can. I can't control the outcome, but I can fight for my patients and do everything in my power to make them comfortable." Why Listen? This conversation offers a rare glimpse into a profession most of us only see from the outside. But even more than that, it's a reminder that meaningful work isn't always about achievement. Sometimes it's about presence, compassion, and being willing to stand beside people during the hardest moments of their lives.

CardioNerds (Drs. Rawan Amir, Tripti Gupta, and Alysha Joseph) discuss the fundamentals of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) surgery with Dr. Elizabeth Stephens.  Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu.  Using a case of a young adult undergoing a Ross procedure, the episode walks through what happens in the operating room—from induction and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), myocardial protection, and surgical repair. The discussion highlights key concepts including cardioplegia, cross-clamp and bypass times, hypothermic circulatory arrest, and the complexity of redo sternotomy. This episode provides learners with a practical framework to interpret operative reports, anticipate postoperative physiology, and better collaborate with surgical teams. This episode was produced by the CardioNerds ACHD Council and planned by Dr. Rawan Amir.  CardioNerds Adult Congenital Heart Disease PageCardioNerds Episode Page Pearls “LV distension kills patients.”Preventing left ventricular distension with appropriate venting and awareness of aortic insufficiency is critical to intraoperative safety.  TEE can change the surgical plan in real time.Findings such as underestimated aortic regurgitation, mitral pathology, or a PFO may directly alter cannulation and cardioplegia strategy.  Cross-clamp time = myocardial ischemic time; bypass time = systemic stress.Both are key predictors of postoperative complications including renal injury, bleeding, and ventricular dysfunction.  Redo sternotomy risk is driven by anatomy, not just number.Aorta adherent to the sternum, conduit position, and chamber pressurization define risk more than the number of prior surgeries.  Think longitudinally—ACHD surgery is lifetime planning.Surgical materials and strategies must account for future interventions, especially in younger patients. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Alysha Joseph, aided by generative artificial intelligence. What are the key steps in congenital cardiac surgery from incision to closure? Preoperative planning is multidisciplinary, involving surgeon, anesthesia, cardiology, and ICU teams; high-risk inductions (e.g., critical AS, Williams syndrome) are identified early TEE is performed immediately after induction to reassess anatomy and may reveal new findings (e.g., underestimated AI, mitral disease, PFO) Median sternotomy is performed, followed by creation of a pericardial well to optimize exposure Heparin is administered prior to cannulation; arterial and venous cannulas are placed for initiation of CPB Cross-clamp is applied and cardioplegia delivered to arrest the heart, allowing a still and protected operative field Surgical repair (e.g., Ross procedure) is performed, followed by de-airing, cross-clamp removal, and reperfusion Patient is weaned from bypass with TEE reassessment, hemostasis achieved, and chest closed What is cardioplegia and how is it delivered? Cardioplegia is a potassium-rich solution that arrests myocardial activity and reduces metabolic demand Most commonly used solution in the U.S. is Del Nido cardioplegia, originally developed for pediatric myocardium Delivery strategies include: Antegrade (via aortic root) – standard approach  Ostial (direct coronary delivery) – used when aortic root cannot be relied upon  Retrograde (via coronary sinus) – useful in severe AI or coronary disease NOTE: Severe aortic regurgitation can impair antegrade delivery and requires alternative strategies and LV venting  What do cross-clamp time and bypass time represent clinically? Cross-clamp time = duration of myocardial ischemia while the heart is arrested Bypass time = total duration on CPB, reflecting systemic exposure to non-physiologic circulation Prolonged cross-clamp time (>2–3 hours) increases risk of myocardial dysfunction, especially with poor baseline function Longer bypass time is associated with increased risk of renal injury, coagulopathy, and bleeding These metrics often reflect both case complexity and intraoperative challenges What is hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and when is it used? HCA involves complete cessation of blood flow to allow a bloodless surgical field Typically used in complex aortic arch repairs Patients are cooled to ~18°C to reduce metabolic demand and protect organs Duration is ideally limited to

Dr. Paul Thomas sits down with Peter McCullough, M.D. — internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist, and author of the new book *[Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality](https://a.co/d/02qncPEJ)* — for one of the most substantive children's health conversations this show has hosted. Dr. McCullough has published over a thousand peer-reviewed articles, established the first life-saving treatment protocol for SARS-CoV-2, and has spent years leading the [McCullough Foundation](https://mcculloughfnd.org/)'s systematic review of the vaccination literature. This is that conversation.

Mike Brown sits down with Dr. Sarah Fabiano and Mike Ellis as they distill pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis into a clear prehospital approach. Using a “sour blood stew” recipe metaphor, they explain how zero units of insulin produces ketones, osmotic diuresis, dehydration, and electrolyte shifts. Key takeaways for EMS: prioritize perfusion with IV fluids (lactated Ringer's preferred), monitor rhythm, obtain potassium before giving insulin, use a two bag insulin/dextrose strategy to close the anion gap safely, and avoid intubation unless absolutely necessary as spontaneous ventilation supports the physiologic need for higher alveolar tidal volumes.   This podcast is brought to you by Medical Shipment: https://medicalshipment.com/

The Big Unlock · Omkar Kulkarni, VP, Chief Transformation & Innovation Officer, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) In this episode, Omkar Kulkarni, VP, Chief Transformation & Innovation Officer at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA), outlines the stark funding gap in pediatric innovation, which receives less than 1% of digital health investments despite children making up 20% of the population. To combat this, the CHLA-led KidsX consortium unites children’s hospitals nationwide to scale early-stage digital solutions through collaboration over competition. Omkar suggests that pediatrics requires entirely separate technological blueprints, hence digital tools must be designed for adult caregivers, accommodate strict adolescent privacy laws at age 12, and scale across diverse physiological sizes. He highlights vital innovation pipelines, including AI tools targeting the youth mental health crisis, longitudinal chronic care management, and 24/7 validated conversational interfaces for parents. For healthcare startups entering this space, Omkar emphasizes that the key to building institutional trust relies on presenting deep, heterogeneous clinical evidence, establishing commercially viable billing frameworks, and practicing deep humility when approaching complex clinical partnerships. He believes that generative AI will not replace clinicians but will instead automate administrative tasks, empowering them to focus on top-of-license, human-to-human care. Take a listen.

What happens when a technology leader who's helped scale a therapy organization from 70 to 180 clinicians decides to build the tool he always wished existed? You get Ambiki — and you get Kevin Dias.Kevin is the founder of Ambiki, an EMR and practice management platform built specifically for pediatric speech, occupational, and physical therapy practices. Before launching Ambiki, Kevin served as CTO at Sidekick Therapy Partners, where he played a pivotal role in growing the organization from 70 to 180 clinicians in just three years. He knows firsthand what it takes to scale a therapy business — the operational chaos, the tech gaps, and the very real cost of using tools that were never designed with pediatric clinicians in mind.In this episode, co-host Rick Segal joins the conversation as Kevin pulls back the curtain on why he built Ambiki from the ground up, what makes pediatric therapy practices uniquely complex to run, and how the right technology can free clinicians to focus on what matters most — their patients. We also get into what it's like to build a U.S.-focused healthcare startup while living in Japan, the lessons he carries from his days as a CTO, and his vision for where pediatric therapy technology is headed.Whether you're a clinic owner, a therapist, or just someone fascinated by the intersection of healthcare and technology — this episode is packed with insight.Get your copy of Rick Segal's book, The Heart of It here: https://amplifypublishinggroup.com/product/nonfiction/business-and-finance/entrepreneurship/the-heart-of-it/Read Rick Segal's blog: https://impactinvestorsegal.com/blog

06-06-26 Girl Talk with Ranken Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital, Mike Bush by

This week we speak with 2 pioneers in the field of pediatric cardiac critical care, Dr. Anthony Rossi and Dr. Gil Wernovsky. Both were present at the very start of the field of cardiac critical care for children. What was it like in an era before transesophageal echocardiography or even postoperative echo? Why was the advent of the bidirectional cavo-pulmonary anastomosis such a game changer in the care of children with heart disease? What do Drs. Rossi and Wernovsky think were the most important improvements to care for children with heart disease in their 35+ year careers? What about care today troubles these intensive care gurus? This is a rare opportunity to speak with two who have seen and done it all in cardiac critical care for children.For those interested to hear Dr. Rossi speak about goal directed therapy, take a listen to episode 21 and episode 200 of this podcast!

In this episode, Ryan Cameron, Executive Vice President, Chief Information & Innovation Officer, Children's Nebraska, shares how his team is leveraging AI, real-time data, and human-centered design to improve care delivery across pediatric settings. He discusses innovative initiatives ranging from school-based telehealth and Medicaid automation to command center technology and empowering clinicians to build their own digital solutions.

For many families, going home from the hospital feels like the finish line. But what happens when the emotional impact of a medical experience lingers long after discharge? On this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital, Katie Taylor sits down with Jen Aspengren, founder of Alongside Network, to discuss pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS), a common yet often overlooked experience that affects children, parents, siblings, and caregivers following serious medical events. Jen shares her family's journey after her infant son underwent life-saving airway surgery at just seven months old. While his physical recovery went well, the emotional effects lasted for years, leading Jen to discover a significant gap in support for families navigating life after hospitalization. Together, Katie and Jen explore: Jen's son's diagnosis of congenital subglottic stenosis and emergency airway surgery The unexpected emotional toll that followed after returning home What pediatric medical traumatic stress (PMTS) is and how it affects the entire family Common signs of traumatic stress in children, parents, and caregivers Why many families feel isolated after discharge despite receiving excellent medical care The importance of validation, community, and coping skills during recovery How small moments of connection from healthcare providers can build trust and resilience The impact of emotional support on long-term health outcomes and medical adherence How Alongside Network is helping families and healthcare providers better navigate medical trauma Jen also shares practical insights for healthcare professionals, highlighting how simple actions—such as a follow-up phone call or a few moments of acknowledgment—can make a lasting difference for families facing difficult diagnoses and hospitalizations. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't end when a child leaves the hospital. Supporting the emotional well-being of children, parents, and caregivers is an essential part of recovery. About Our Guest Jen Aspengren Jen Aspengren is the founder of Alongside Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families and healthcare providers address pediatric medical traumatic stress.

What if one of pediatrics' most common emergency procedures hasn't meaningfully evolved in over a century? In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we sit down with Bob Cooper, CEO of SMoLTAP, to explore how a simple but powerful positioning innovation is transforming infant lumbar punctures. For decades, pediatric spinal taps have relied on manual restraint, inconsistent positioning, and high failure rates—often leading to repeat attempts, unnecessary hospital admissions, and increased stress for clinicians and families. SMoLTAP's positioning cradle stabilizes infants in a consistent seated posture, improving first-stick success rates, reducing procedural time, and minimizing the need for sedation. Bob shares the origin story—from a frustrating clinical moment at Brown University to adoption in over 100 hospitals—and dives into the realities of pediatric medical device commercialization. We explore specialty distribution strategies, navigating value analysis committees, building ROI calculators, and scaling capital-efficiently in a challenging healthcare market. This episode is a powerful example of how human-centered design, operational insight, and disciplined execution can change the standard of care.

This week we review a recent report from the team at Amrita Institute in Cocchin, India about their use of extended reality and virtual reality as well as heart model printing to aid in planning for complex intracardiac baffles for the treatment of complex congenital heart defects. What was the process used to provide actionable advice in the operating room during surgery? How has the team in southern India created a workflow that can accurately predict this complex anatomy and the patches needed to successfully septate complex hearts? We speak with the director of the 3D imaging group at Amrita, Professor Mahesh Kappanayil about this remarkable achievement of imaging in collaboration with surgery. DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2026.03.616

If potty training, constipation, accidents, or stool withholding feel way harder than they should, you are not alone. In this episode, we're talking about pediatric pelvic floor health and why many toileting struggles are actually connected to body awareness, sensory processing, nervous system regulation, and coordination.Amanda shares her perspective as an OT specializing in pediatric pelvic floor health, while Rachel brings in the sensory and regulation lens. Together, we break down why kids who struggle with toileting are not being lazy, stubborn, or defiant, and why pressure and shame often make things worse.We also talk about common signs a child may need extra support, how stress and dysregulation impact the body, and practical strategies families can use at home to make toileting feel safer and more manageable.This episode is all about helping parents better understand what's happening beneath the surface and reminding families that their child is not broken and they are not failing.Thanks for listening

In this episode of *Pediatric Perspectives*, I'm joined by integrative pediatrician Michelle Perro, M.D. — a clinician with 43 years of experience, an environmental medicine specialist, and the CEO and founder of [GMO Science](https://gmoscience.org). Dr. Perro has spent decades studying how food, pesticides, and environmental toxicants affect children's health, and in this conversation she brings that perspective directly to bear on one of the most pressing issues in pediatrics today: childhood obesity and the growing push to treat it with GLP-1 agonist drugs.

Pediatric urinary tract infections, or UTIs, don't always follow a script. While they're one of the most common diagnoses, they're also one of the most nuanced. They can be subtle, inconsistent and easy to over — or under — diagnose. Aside from clear urinary symptoms, they can show up as a fever without a source, vague abdominal pain, new incontinence or a child who simply isn't acting like themselves. And in those moments, the decisions pediatricians make such as who to test, how to collect a sample or how to interpret results, carry real clinical weight. To dive into this topic, we are joined by Kevin Olson, PA, and Meghan Rommel, NP, who practice in the Department of Pediatric Urology at Children's Hospital Colorado. Some highlights from this episode include: The challenges of diagnosis and the importance of getting it right  How UTIs present differently across ages   When to use antibiotics versus when more discovery is needed  Approaching recurrent UTIs in children  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Many patients interpret their illness through the lens of their religious tradition. Sometimes this process brings hope, comfort, or growth – but other times it compounds their suffering. What are patients supposed to do when they don't see their lives reflected in the religious stories they cherish? And how can physicians recognize and respond to spiritual suffering that is layered on top of the physical? Our guest on this episode is Dr. Jonathan Weinkle, clinical assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Dr. Weinkle practices Internal and Pediatric medicine at Squirrel Hill Health Center – a health center focused on overcoming economic, cultural, and logistical barriers to health care. He serves as a consultant to the Jewish Healthcare Foundation and as the medical director of the Physician Assistant Program at Chatham University. In 2025, he published his book From Illness to Exodus with the goal of helping patients and healers navigate illness – using one of the world's oldest stories.  Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Weinkle shares insights from the story of the Jewish Exodus that may help patients feeling trapped in the “narrow place” of illness. We discuss the spiritual and emotional complexity faced by patients whose own illness stories don't end with a miraculous escape. Finally, we reflect on the importance of healers who understand their patients' “idioms of distress” and who can attune to their suffering. On this episode, you'll hear about: 2:45 - How Dr. Weinkle found his way to a career in Med-Peds, and the many hats he wears in his current work 9:00 - Dr. Weinkle's views on balancing faith and science in medicine16:00 - The cultural importance and traditions of Passover in the Jewish faith 21:30 - How the lessons of the Passover can be connected to medicine and healing 28:45 - Why Dr. Weinkle chose to write a book for healers 40:00 - Dr. Weinkle's advice for identifying and responding to a patient's taxonomy of distress47:30 - Attending to suffering when it cannot be ‘fixed'52:25 - How healers can use ritual to center themselves in their work  If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
