Abstract

Varicella-zoster virus is an infectious disease that causes fever and a pruritic papulovesicular rash that starts on the face and scalp; progresses to the trunk and, to a lesser extent, the extremities; and emerges in crops of lesions over a few days. Painful mucosal lesions can also occur. Varicella is an airborne disease, spread by respiratory secretions, and is highly contagious. The varicella virus remains latent in sensory ganglion neurons, and zoster is a later reactivation of the virus (typically in patients aged ≥50 years), resulting in a painful vesicular rash localized to a single dermatome. Varicella and zoster are usually diagnosed clinically, although serology or PCR testing may be used. Treatment is supportive in uncomplicated cases in immunocompetent patients; immunocompromised or severely affected patients may be treated with antiviral medications such as acyclovir or valacyclovir. Vaccines are available for both varicella and zoster.

Abstract

Purpose Administering oral medication to infants is challenging for caregivers, often resulting in incomplete delivery of the intended dose. Pacidose® is an oral medication delivery device that consists of a syringe attached to a tunneled pacifier. This study aimed to determine caregiver and nurse satisfaction and success rate of the Pacidose in the administration of acetaminophen to infants in the pediatric emergency department (ED). Design and Methods This was a prospective trial involving a convenience sample of patients who presented to a pediatric ED between November 2015 and August 2016. Patients younger than 24 months with a physician order for acetaminophen were eligible. Each child received a single dose of acetaminophen delivered by the Pacidose. Nurses, parents, and observing investigators were surveyed with a standardized questionnaire regarding the effectiveness, satisfaction and success rate of Pacidose. Results 61 patients were enrolled. The median age was 10 months and Pacidose was successful in 77% of patients. Those who required an alternative delivery route were older and no longer used pacifiers. Nurses reported that Pacidose helped administer the medication more easily in 66% of infants and 95% of parents preferred the Pacidose over standard delivery devices. Conclusions Pacidose was well tolerated by infants, and both parents and nurses were highly satisfied with this method of administering acetaminophen. Practice Implications Pacidose is an easy to implement device that can help nurses with oral medication administration. It may have the greatest impact in younger children with recent pacifier use.

Abstract

The spleen is the most commonly injured abdominal organ in children who sustain blunt abdominal trauma, and pediatric splenic injury may result from minor mechanisms of injury, including sports participation. We present 2 cases of splenic injury in soccer goalies because of blunt abdominal trauma sustained during game play. Although abdominal organ injuries are uncommon in soccer, emergency medicine and primary care physicians must be aware of the possibility. A high index of suspicion and careful physical examination are key in making the diagnosis.
