This PECARN study looked at children with sickle cell disease who often require care in the ED. The objective was to assess the use and impact of intranasal fentanyl for the treatment of these children on discharge from the emergency department. https://t.co/JjyyBNYym9
The fluid study continues to inform us...Most children with DKA have mild-to-moderate dehydration. Although biochemical measures were more closely associated with severity of dehydration, neither were sufficiently predictive to inform rehydration practice. https://t.co/9zfSl7dATm
PECARN's ED-STARS II study results suggest that both the ASQ & the CASSY are appropriate for universal screening in pediatric EDs. For patients with psychiatric symptoms, the CASSY shows greater predictive validity. https://t.co/ifgjyQo3Xt
DKA is such a serious condition in children. We are so glad the work of PECARN in the FLUID study is still paying off. This month there was an article posted in the Journal of Pediatrics about pyuria and kids with DKA. https://t.co/REeeVUiHcM
One more PECARN publication just out during @PECARNteam week in Seattle! Last pub from PECARN Head trauma study: ever wonder what to do for children with “Isolated Altered Mental Status in Children With Minor Blunt Head Trauma” - here it is! @UCDavisEM https://t.co/jxol5iBJt5
Did you know that PECARN updated it's logo recently? The network's new logo unifies us as researchers in emergency medical services for children. (Our research coordinator logo remains the same.)
The work PECARN does impacts the lives of children. Across the nation, providers in emergency departments use the 'PECARN decision rule for minor head trauma' but, few know how it came about and the research backing it: https://t.co/OU3bIm2NKh
Here's an article from PECARN's DKA Fluid Group published in September 2021. It's interesting because it looks at what influenced parental permission for a child in a DKA study. https://t.co/1BUyhYdPZ2
This clinical trials day, PECARN research coordinators are proud of the work we do to advance the care of acutely ill and injured children. For more information, visit https://t.co/6LMl3hMgkc. @PECARNteam#pecarn#clinicaltrialsday#ictd2022
