Podcasts about pediatric patients

Today's episode is kind of an Overtime / Ask The Sports Docs crossover. One of the PTs that Ashley works closely with asked her why some patients do well after ACL surgery and some don't fare as well, despite the surgery being identical in terms of technique, graft choice, post-op protocol etc. An article was just published in AJSM this month looking at this, specifically investigating factors that impact outcomes after ACL reconstruction. The article that we are reviewing today is titled “Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Level 1 Athletes: Factors Associated With Return to Play, Reinjury, and Knee Function at 5 Years of Follow-up.” This level 2 cohort study aimed to analyze the outcomes of primary ACLR in level 1 athletes and identify preop and intraop factors associated with RTP, ipsilateral ACL reinjury, contralateral ACL injury, and IKDC score at 5 years post-op.** We have also been chatting about this episode offline and discussed an article that was recently published looking at preoperative grit scores and postoperative range of motion after ACL reconstruction. Grit score is another objective measurement that we can obtain preoperatively and perhaps use to guide intervention during post-op recovery. We actually did an Overtime episode looking at the impact of grit scores on post-op outcomes after ACL reconstruction. That is episode #53 if you want to check it out! But today's second article is titled “Higher Grit Scores Are Associated With Earlier Increases in Knee Flexion Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Meniscus Repair in Pediatric Patients.” It was published in the April 2023 issue of the Journal of Pediatrics. Pete Fabricant and his team at HSS found that patients with grit scores below the 50th percentile undergoing ACLR + meniscus repair have 5 degrees less total ROM at 3 months compared with those with high grit scores. Though 5 degrees might not seem like a lot, quicker motion recovery in patients with high grit may be a leading indicator of these patients likelihood to achieve other post-op milestones and meet criteria for RTS more quickly. This obvious needs future study to see how grit impacts other factors like strength gains, passing RTP assessments etc.

In this episode of the ICHE podcast, we explore the theme of respiratory culturing appropriateness in pediatric patients, emphasizing diagnostic stewardship's role in optimizing patient outcomes. Host David Calfee, MD, MS and guest experts, Kathleen Chiotos, MD, MSCE and Edward Lyon, DO, MA, share insights on how stewardship practices can refine respiratory testing in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), where evidence suggests these tests are often overused without clinical benefit. They examine challenges in implementing stewardship, including barriers like resistance to change and logistical issues, and discuss practical strategies to overcome these obstacles. The conversation highlights two recent studies published in ICHE: Dr. Lyon's work on repeat tracheal aspirate cultures in PICUs, which analyzes their frequency, resistance patterns, and impact on antimicrobial use, and Dr. Chiotos's study on a tracheal aspirate culture stewardship intervention, examining its effect in a tertiary PICU. Both authors discuss their studies' methodologies, findings, limitations, and implications for future practice. To wrap up, each expert offers actionable recommendations for healthcare professionals interested in improving respiratory culturing practices at their institutions, providing practical steps to enhance safety and care efficiency. Full versions of the articles discussed in this episode are available in the September issue of ICHE.

How, where, when and why should we be training our EMS clinicians to take care of tiny humans? Look no further for the answers, as we have subject matter expert Stephanie Ashford, Division Chief of Clinical Practice at the Saint Charles County (MO) Ambulance District.  Stephanie has proven advice on how to successfully integrate pediatric readiness and skills training for your agency.  Tiny humans are sometimes terrifying (smaller parts, requires math, etc.), and Stephanie's experience teaches us how to implement Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice as well as other mantras such as "Pause, Prescribe, Replay" so that we are basing our training on proven research.   Take a listen and be sure to check out the Peds Ready PPRP Assessment, open from May- July: https://emspedsready.org/  Mentioned in the episode: Follow Stephanie on X: https://twitter.com/ashfordmom Peak by Anders Ericsson  Kirkpatrick Model Dr. John Hoyle SCCAD EMS STARS Program The EMS Educator will publish on the first Friday of every month!

This month we are joined by Dr. Raymond Liu from Case Western Reserve and Rainbow Babies in Cleveland to discuss his work on skeletal maturity grading systems, patient reported outcomes in limb deformity, and 3D anatomical studies. Hear about Mongolia pushing the limits in rigid nailing of pediatric femur fractures and stick around for highlights from the lightning round including ultrasound for fracture diagnosis, guided growth for patellar instability and 3D analysis after spinal fusion.   Your hosts are Julia Sanders from Children's Hospital Colorado, Carter Clement from Children's Hospital of New Orleans, Craig Louer from Vanderbilt, and Josh Holt from University of Iowa. Music by A. A. Aalto.   For more information on the JPO Journal Club organized by Dr Liu, please contact Caroline Eaton from Advancing Pediatric Orthopaedics at ceaton@faportho.org.   To download the "What's the Skeletal Maturity" app for free, visit your device app store (Android currently undergoing upgrades, but available soon!)   Citations for papers discussed:   Moon TJ, Canitia E, Amakoutou K, et al.
