Observational StudyFeasibility and Indicator Outcomes Using Computerized Clinical Decision Support in Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury Anesthesia Care.
Traumatic brain injury anesthesia care is complex. The use of clinical decision support to improve pediatric trauma care has not been examined. ⋯ Use of clinical decision support in pediatric traumatic brain injury anesthesia care is feasible, reliable, and may have the potential to improve key performance indicator outcomes. This observational study suggests the possibility of clinical decision support as a strategy to reduce second insults and improve traumatic brain injury guideline adherence during pediatric anesthesia care.

Single injection ultrasound-guided rectus sheath blocks for children: Distribution of injected anesthetic.
Single injection ultrasound-guided rectus sheath blocks are used for postoperative analgesia after midline abdominal incisions, but the ultrasonographic spread of medication posterior to the rectus muscle has not been investigated. ⋯ After single injection ultrasound-guided rectus sheath blocks, incomplete cephalocaudal medication spread can be expected within the posterior rectus sheath.
