Fall reflections: Nicole Fox on career evolution, saboteurs, and fulfillment

Last month I wrote a post about the four stages of a career, using the analogy of seasons. I was inspired by the wonderful fall weather I was experiencing while on a walk here in New England, but also by changes I have been experiencing in my life and how these have caused me to re-evaluate what's important in my career. The post got a good reaction, including from Nicole Fox, Associate Chief Medical Officer, Medical Director of Pediatric Trauma, Medical Director of CDI, at Cooper University Health Care. Which led to this show. Nicole and I are in the “fall-ish” of our careers. Which might sound like we're getting ready for pasture, but not really. I'm 51 and Nicole is 48, so we have many more years to work—but our priorities are changing. You might say, they are better aligning with the new people we are becoming, as human works in progress. Nicole has done a lot with career coaching, both as recipient and mentor, and we get into all that on today's show—and bare our souls a little bit about what is holding us back. This was a terrific conversation with an amazing person and I suspect you'll enjoy it, and maybe come away a bit more reflective about your own career and priorities. On this show we discuss: • An update on Nicole's work as a pediatric trauma surgeon and hospital executive—and the need for changes • Her experience with a career coach and what she learned about herself • Career “saboteurs”—how do you discover them, and what can you do to diminish them? I highly recommend taking the free assessment linked below (my top 3 saboteurs are avoider, hyper achiever, and pleaser) • Is it possible to shape your career, and how does that look in practice? • The “seasons” of a career and using it as a framework for discovering what is most important (with an emphasis on the fall season) • Nicole's forays into coaching and mentorship, and prioritizing health and work-life balance in a demanding clinical career Show notes Four stages of a career: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/brian-murphy-13800b11_i-love-the-fall-especially-here-in-new-england-activity-7253050994937212932-2QFY?

Approach to Pediatric Trauma Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, A Podcast Dedicated to Current and Aspiring Intensivists.I'm Pradip Kamat coming to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine and I'm Rahul Damania, from Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. We are two Pediatric ICU physicians passionate about all things MED-ED in the PICU. PICU Doc on Call focuses on interesting PICU cases & management in the acute care pediatric setting so let's get into our episode.Welcome to our Episode today of a 7 yo M who presents to the PICU after a severe Motor Vehicle Accident.Here is the case presented by RahulA 7-year-old male child is admitted to the PICU after sustaining severe trauma. The patient was brought to the emergency department after a motor vehicle accident that involved an 18-wheeler truck & the family's car; in this severe accident the 7 yo was noted to be restrained however upon impact was ejected from the vehicle. He was unconscious and had multiple injuries, including a laceration on the head and bruising on the chest. The EMS was activated and the patient presented to the ED for acute stabilization. Upon examination, the patient was found to have a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 8, indicating a serious head injury. He had multiple bruises and abrasions on the chest and arms, and his pulse was rapid and weak. The patient was resuscitated with colloid and blood products, intubated, and transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit for further management.Notably, a CT scan of the head showed a skull fracture and a subdural hematoma. A chest X-ray showed multiple rib fractures and bilateral pulmonary opacities with no evidence of pneumothorax. The patient was also found to have a grade 2 liver laceration and a splenic injury. Pelvic x-ray and cardiac FAST exam were unrevealing.To summarize key elements from this case, this patient has:A traumatic brain injuryPulmonary contusions and is at risk for PARDSLiver and spleen injuryAnemiaPertinent negative includes: No pelvic injuries or injuries to great vessels in the chestRahul, let's approach the PICU medical management of this case based on a culmination of various guidelines published in the Pediatric Critical Care literature. Namely, let's use this case to dive deep into guidelines for:Traumatic brain injury (TBI)****Transfusion and Anemia Expertise Initiative (****TAXI)pediatric blunt liver and spleen injury management, are also known as the ATOMAC protocol, as well as general PICU management of acute trauma.As we take the management of this pediatric trauma patient in a systems-based fashion let's first go into the Management of Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injuries, can you start us off with some key management considerations?Based on the March 2019 TBI guidelines published in Pediatric Critical Care Medicine in 2019 (PCCM20(3S):p S1-S82, March 2019)This patient should have an ICP monitor or even an EVD placed for CSF diversion in consultation with the NS and trauma team. A CPP of at least >50 in our 7 yo patient and ICP < 20 mm Hg has been shown to improve outcomes and reduce mortality.Just as a quick review, CPP stands for cerebral perfusion pressure, which is the pressure that maintains blood flow to the brain. The formula for CPP is:CPP = MAP (mean arterial pressure) - ICP (intracranial pressure)Monitoring does not affect outcomes directly; rather the information from monitoring can be used to direct treatment decisions. Treatment informed by data from monitoring may result in better outcomes than treatment informed solely by data from clinical assessment. In short, it is important to have qualitative and quantitative data to optimize your decision-making.As we talked about ICP control is so crucial for

As emergency physicians, we are no strangers to firearm violence and its consequences. We explored this topic with renowned expert, Dr. Garen Wintemute, in our January 2019 episode, #thisismylane. Most physicians feel strongly that we have a role in gun violence prevention, but many of us aren't sure what we can do in our daily clinical practice to make a difference. That's why Psychiatrist Dr. Amy Barnhorst and her colleagues at the California Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis developed the BulletPoints Project. BulletPoints is a resource for clinicians and medical educators who are committed to firearm injury prevention.  We've covered how to APPROACH patients about gun safety and ASSESS risk, now we learn how to ACT. In the final episode of our series, Dr. Barnhorst explains what we can do as physicians to help mitigate risk. We'll talk about options, including temporary transfer of firearms to a safe party, psychiatric holds when appropriate, and “red flag” laws that allow for emergent removal of firearms in extremely high risk situations.  Have you ever had a patient you felt was high risk intentional to accidental injury due to firearms?

They then discuss how John Wayne's films impact the younger generations and give them a positive role model to look up to. Richard's grandson, Austin Dillon, is not only the driver of the RCR Cowboy Channel/John Wayne car but he is also a huge John Wayne fan who grew up looking up to Duke. Richard also talks about the different moments in his life that made an impact and how believing in the American dream got him to where he is now. Hunting is a passion of Richards. That passion started out when he was a young kid and was born out of necessity. That passion has taken him all over the world and also brought him into funding nature conservation. His other passions include the Childress Winery, his Wildlife conservation museum, Auto Racing museum with 43 Dale Earnhardt cars, and The Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma. Trauma is the number 1 killer of children in America and The Childress Institute for Pediatric Trauma discovers and shares the best way to prevent and treat severe injuries in children. The Institute funds research, education and advocacy to help improve the care and treatment injured kids receive across the US.

Emergency Medical Minute collaborated with CarePoint Health in early March for a night of education on Pediatric Emergencies at a local Denver brewery for our latest Brewcast. Pediatric patients require special considerations compared to adults when receiving medical care, and that remains true for traumatic injuries dealt with in the ED and pre-hospital settings. Dr. Christine Darr, Pediatric Emergency Medicine Physician, discusses a range of traumatic injuries in pediatric patients and how to appropriately perform a physical exam, order radiographic diagnostics to further assess and identify injuries and key steps for management. She reviews growth plate injuries as well as considerations at different developmental stages that can mask the presence of more serious injuries like blunt internal organ trauma without rib fractures and SCIWORA (spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality). Common injuries associated with abuse at different ages are also addressed to help you identify concerning signs of maltreatment of pediatric patients.

Are the vital signs indexes like the shock index or laboratory values like serum lactate in addition to physical exam findings? 00:12:44 From a crystalloid infusion standpoint, what are your thoughts as far as limiting crystalloid infusion and patients that you know are actively bleeding not crystalloid, but bleeding blood? 00:15:57 What about the complications of transfusion short term and long term and how do we know that that is now not going up because we're giving more blood? 00:19:08 It seems like now real viscoelastic assays TEG and Rotem are getting a lot more traction so that we're directing component therapy specifically as opposed to shot gunning a transfusion. I would love your thoughts on that? 00:19:11 In a patient who has ongoing bleeding is he hemodynamically unstable and you're in the process of resuscitating them with blood products. What are your thoughts on angioembolization its safety and efficacy in pediatric of blunt liver and spleen injury? 00:22:05 So once we have these patients resuscitated and stable in kids with solid organ injury should ICU admission be determined then by injury grade, hemodynamics or a combination of both? 00:23:18 Do you have a threshold of volume of transfusion that would then indicate failure or is it a case by case? 00:24:33 What are your thoughts as far as time frame for bedrest? How long and what are the parameters that help you decide? 00:26:15 In hemodynamically stable patients, do you use a timeframe for observation or are they able to be fast tracked and may be discharged within 24 hours? 00:27:47 Do you have criteria or a threshold, Hematocrit or hemoglobin point that indicates lab variability versus actual continued bleeding? 00:29:31 So, whenever these kids are ready to go home, do you have a standard follow up regimen of a week, two weeks, four weeks. The rest issue I'll let you discuss as well, as far as time frame where they really stay off of activities until you see them back? 00:31:05 is there a type of injury a finding on imaging or a symptom that would then maybe move you to schedule additional imaging in follow up to avoid a complication like a pseudoaneurysm or AV fistula or something along those lines? 00:33:00 So, then it even in a grade 4 or a grade 5 injury with an active extravasation there's no real utility van and scheduling a post or a follow up ultrasound or additional imaging? 00:34:52 For a patient who is stabilized to the point that he is ready for discharge, what criteria do you use then for timeframe of follow up? 00:37:07 Review 00:41:23 Resources 00:43:11 Final comment

Traumatized children need your full attention. Protocols work well for adults, but trauma in children requires that we exercise our clinical muscles just a bit more.   Two main reasons:  Children have specific injury patterns  Their physiologic response to trauma is unique.   Crash course in pediatric anatomy and physiology in trauma When you think of trauma in children, think of Charlie Brown. Large head, no neck, his chest and abdomen form an underdeveloped, amorphous shape. Alternatively, think of children as apples – they are rounder than they are tall, with a large increased surface area. Apples don’t have a hard shell or thick rind to protect them. If you drop them, you may not see any evidence of damage to the outside, but there can be considerable bruising just under the surface. A child has thin skin, less subcutaneous deposits than an adult, and a non-calcified, pliable thorax that deforms more than it protects or shields. The child’s abdominal muscles are not yet developed. There is less peritoneal fat to cushion a blow, and so traumatic forces transmit readily into internal organs, often without external bruising. The child’s large surface area also causes him to dissipate heat more quickly. He may be wet from urine or blood, and in a major trauma, this faster cool-down predisposes him to coagulopathy. Case A 5-year-old boy who was playing with his older brother in front of their home when the ball rolled into the street. He ran after it, and was struck by a sedan going approximately 30 mph. This is the so-called Wadell’s triad that occurs in a collision of auto versus pedestrian or auto versus bicycle. The initial impact is the greatest, and will vary depending on the child’s height and what part of his body reaches up to the bumper of the car. Depending on the height of the child and the height of the car, the initial impact will cause a femur fracture, a pelvic fracture, or direct abdominal trauma. The second impact happens as the child is flung onto the grill or the hood of the car, causing usually thoracic trauma. The third impact can be the coup de grace – to add insult to major injury, the child is then propelled forward, worsening the two previous impacts’ injuries and adding a third – severe blunt head trauma. Intubation Pearl #1: If your patient has any subtle change in mental status, intubate early. In pediatric trauma, we need to be proactive. Hypoxia is our enemy. Intubation Pearl #2: Thankfully cervical spine injuries in children are uncommon, and when they do occur, they typically occur at the child’s fulcrum, which is at C2. Compare this with an adult’s injury pattern with our fulcrum at C7. Be careful and minimize manipulation of the cervical spine, but do what you must to visualize the chords and place the tube. Keep the neck midline, and realize that the child’s usual decrease respiratory reserve is even more affected by trauma. Preoxygenate and pass that tube quickly. Chest Tube Pearl #1: Chest tube sizing in pediatrics is straightforward if we remember that the traditional chest tube size is 4 x the ETT size. Chest Tube Pearl #2: Try using a pigtail catheter. Safety Triangle Lateral edge of the pectoral muscle Lateral edge of the latisimus dorsi Line along the fifth intercostal space at the level of the nipple. It’s roughly where you would put on a generous dose of deodorant. Insertion here minimizes the risk of damage to nerves, vessels and organs. Resuscitative Thoracotomy in Children In a 40-year review of ED thoracotomy, Moore et al. analyzed 1,691 patients who received ED thoracotomy. Overall all-cause adult survival was 6.1%. In children ? 15 years of age, overall all-cause survival was considerably less, at 3.4%. In a large case series and review of the literature for pediatric ED thoracotomy, Allen et al. found a survival rate in penetrating trauma of 10.2%, with a much lower survival rate in blunt pediatric arrest, at 1.6%. Adolescents had more penetrating injuries, and younger children had more blunt trauma. To synthesize, the rarity of ED thoracotomy in children is due to the fact that: Traumatic full arrest in children is uncommon. It is most often blunt trauma. Blunt traumatic arrest in children is mostly non-survivable. REBOA If you have access to resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta or REBOA, this may be an option to temporize the child to get him to the relative control of the operating room. REBOA involves accessing the common femoral artery, passing a vascular sheath, floating a balloon catheter to the appropriate section of the aorta, and inflating the balloon to occlude blood flow. Brenner et al. described a case series of 6 patients from two Level I trauma centers. They used REBOA for refractory hemorrhagic shock due to either blunt or penetrating injury. After balloon occlusion, blood pressure improved sufficiently to take the patient either to interventional radiology or to the OR. Four patients lived, two died. The AORTA trial is underway to investigate its use in trauma. Summary: Children are like Charlie Brown – large head, no neck, amorphous, underdeveloped and unprotected thorax and abdomen. Or, if you like, they’re like, apples – they have a large surface area and are easily internally bruised, often without overt signs of external bruising. Chest tubes for children are very similar to the adult procedure – the traditional chest tube size is 4 x the child’s ETT size. Try to use smaller pigtail catheters, available in commercial kits, whenever possible. They’re easy, safe, and effective. Resuscitative thoracotomy is for penetrating trauma with signs of life wthin 10-15 minutes of arrival. Find the correctable surgical cause of the arrest. Resuscitative thoracotomy for blunt trauma has a dismal prognosis in children. Selected References Allen CJ, Valle EJ, Thorson CM, Hogan AR, Perez EA, Namias N, Zakrison TL, Neville HL, Sola JE.

According to the CDC, unintentional injury, or Trauma, is the leading cause of death for the pediatric population. To help raise awareness about this topic we break down through age groups, where the child is at developmentally and how in that stage of development, they might be at an increased risk for a traumatic event to occur. Followed by, offering tips on how to then prevent the traumatic event from occurring once the risk has been identified. From birth to 18 years, and even some tips for parents who now have young adults. Accidents do happen, but through an increased awareness, prevention of preventable traumatic events can occur.
