Objective To explore and analyze pediatric trauma care practices across designated pediatric trauma centers (PTCs) in Switzerland. The focus was on reception, trauma team activation (TTA), trauma team composition, patient volumes, and infrastructure.
Methods A national online survey was conducted among all eight PTCs in Switzerland using an 18-item questionnaire. The survey investigated organizational aspects, criteria for TTA, patient volume, and communication modalities in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs).
Results All PTCs responded, revealing varying methods of TTA, with reception of major trauma patients occurring at either PEDs or adjacent adult trauma facilities. Trauma team composition and activation criteria also differ among centers, with nonsurgeons often leading the teams and anesthesiologists being the default facilitators of airway management. TTA criteria vary widely, with the most common being the request of prehospitalization staff (62.5%) and physician discretion (50%). Trauma resuscitation is predominantly led by PED attendants (75%).
Conclusion This survey provides insights into the state of pediatric trauma care in Switzerland. The findings underscore the importance of multidisciplinary teams and variability in trauma management practices, which are often tailored to local circumstances. Despite the study limitations of using self-reported data and the small sample size owing to the country's size, the results suggest that a national trauma registry would be helpful to the evaluation and optimization of pediatric trauma care protocols.
Objective To analyze the clinical significance of a heart rate (HR) or respiratory rate (RR) higher or lower than the normal in pediatric triage.
Methods A retrospective observational study was conducted with data from the Korean National Emergency Department Information System. The subjects were children <15 years of age in 2016. Reported HRs and RRs were divided into seven groups: grade -3 (3 or more standard deviations [SDs]normal), grade 2 (2 SDs>normal), and grade 3 (3 or more SDs>normal). The main outcomes were hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship of the outcomes according to grade in each group.
Results Data for 981,297 patients were analyzed. Hospitalization and ICU admission rates increased significantly in the higher HR group (grades 1 to 3; odds ratio [OR], 1.353; P<0.001; OR, 1.747; P<0.001; respectively) and in the higher RR group (OR, 1.144; P<0.001; OR, 1.396; P<0.001; respectively), compared with grade 0 group. In the lower HR group (grades -1 to -3), the hospitalization rate decreased (OR, 0.928; P<0.001), whereas the ICU admission rate increased (OR, 1.207; P=0.001). Although the hospitalization rate increased. In the lower RR group (OR, 1.016; P=0.008), the ICU admission rate did not increase (OR, 0.973; P=0.338).
Conclusion Deviations in HR and RR above normal are related to increased risks of hospitalization and ICU admission. However, this association may not apply to deviations below normal.
Objective This study compared the prognostic value of the Pediatric Penetrating Ocular Trauma Score (POTS) with the Toddler/Infant Ocular Trauma Score (TOTS) in a cohort of Brazilian children with open-globe injuries.
Methods This retrospective, observational case series included consecutive children with open-globe injuries seen at the Santa Casa de Sao Paulo Eye Emergency Service. The medical records of all patients were reviewed for data analysis, including the circumstance and time of injury, type of penetrating injury, initial and final visual acuity (VA), time of surgery, and associated eye diseases. The test characteristics of POTS and TOTS for VA were calculated and compared by the McNemar test.
Results Thirty patients were included. The mean age was 3.9 ± 1.6 years; 20 were male patients and 10 were female patients. Most wounds were limited to the anterior segment (93.3%). The sensitivity for the POTS was higher than that of the TOTS (100%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 75.3–100 vs. 61.5%; 95% CI, 31.6–86.1; P = 0.014). The specificity was not significantly different (14.3%; 95% CI, 0.4–57.8 vs. 0%; 95% CI, 0–41.0; P = 0.563). The accuracy for the POTS was higher than the TOTS (70.0%; 95% CI, 45.7–88.1 vs. 40.0%; 95% CI, 19.1–63.9; P = 0.001).
Conclusion In this cohort of Brazilian children with open-globe injuries, the POTS had better accuracy than did the TOTS in predicting VA after treatment.

Objective This study aimed to determine the factors that affect successful esophageal foreign body (FB) removal using a Foley catheter and to identify methods to increase the success rate.
Methods In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, we included pediatric patients who presented with esophageal FB impaction that was removed using a Foley catheter in the emergency departments of tertiary care and academic hospitals. We analyzed the effect of the patients’ age, sex, and symptoms; FB type, size, and location; Foley catheter size; complications during FB removal; duration between FB ingestion and removal; operator’s years of training; sedation; success rate of FB removal; endoscopy; and patient’s posture during FB removal on the success of Foley catheter-based FB removal.
Results Of the 43 patients we enrolled, Foley catheter-based FB removal was successful in 81.4% (35/43) but failed in 18.6% (8/43) of patients; no FB-removal-related complications were reported. There was no significant association between the success rate of Foley catheter-based FB removal and any study variable. A higher number of years in training tended to increase the success rate of Foley catheter-based FB removal, although statistical significance was not achieved.
Conclusion Children’s esophageal FB removal is a practical challenge in the emergency rooms, and using a Foley catheter is associated with a high success rate of the removal and low occurrence of complications. In this study, no single variable was found correlated with the success rate of Foley catheter-based esophageal FB removal in pediatric patients, which may indicate multiple variables interacting with one another to affect the success rate.

Objective Trampoline-related injuries have increased in South Korea. However, little research has been conducted on this topic. This study aimed to show the characteristics of pediatric trampoline-related injuries in South Korea and to investigate the factors associated with admission.
Methods A retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using data from South Korea’s Emergency Department-based Injury In-depth Surveillance registry for dates between January 2011 and December 2016. All patients under 18 years of age with trampoline-related injuries were included. We divided the patients into two groups based on whether they were admitted or discharged. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the factors associated with hospital admission for pediatric trampoline-related injuries.
Results A total of 2,745 patients were enrolled and the incidence increased over time (P for trend<0.01). The most common injury site was the lower extremity (45%). Fracture was the most frequent diagnosis (34.3%). Compared to the discharge group, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for hospital admission were 3.53 (1.73–7.17) for the teenage group, 2.62 (1.82–3.77) for upper extremity injuries, 18.48 (7.95–42.95) for fractures, 2.28 (1.35–3.86) for falls, and 2.04 (1.15–3.60) for collisions.
Conclusion Trampoline-related injuries in children have increased over time in South Korea. Most occur in children under the age of 12 years, but children between the ages of 13 and 18 years are at a higher risk for hospitalization. Also, injuries of the upper extremity, fracture, falling, and collision are risk factors for admission. Preventive strategies are needed to reduce trampoline-related injuries in children.

A previously healthy 1-year-old boy suddenly began coughing while eating a dried sweet potato. Because he continued gagging after vomiting a piece of the dried sweet potato, his mother brought him to our emergency room. Upon arrival, despite normal pulmonary findings, he was drooling and gagging. Ultrasonography was performed because food impaction at the upper esophagus was suspected based on his medical history and physical examination, and results showed that a linear hyperechoic lesion was obstructing the posterior esophageal wall. Computed tomography was also considered for a detailed examination of the foreign body. However, the patient vomited the dried sweet potato before the test was performed. After vomiting the foreign body, the patient stopped gagging, and his ultrasonographic findings were normal. Therefore, the patient was discharged without any complications.

Objective Many studies have proposed reducing unnecessary use of computed tomography (CT), and ongoing studies in pediatric populations are aiming to decrease radiation dosages whenever possible. We aimed to evaluate the long-term changes in the utilization patterns of CT and ultrasound (US) in pediatric emergency departments (PEDs).
Methods This retrospective study reviewed the electronic medical data of patients who underwent CT and/or US in the PED of a tertiary referral hospital from 2000 to 2014. We compared the changes in utilization patterns of brain and abdominal CT scans in pediatric patients and analyzed changes in abdominal US utilization in the PED.
Results During the study period, 196,371 patients visited the PED. A total of 12,996 brain and abdominal CT scans and 12,424 abdominal US were performed in the PED. Comparison of CT use in pediatric patients before and after 2007 showed statistically decreasing trends after 2007, expressed as the coefficient values of the differences in groups. The numbers of brain and abdominal CT scans showed a significant decreasing trend in children, except for abdominal CT in adolescents. The abdominal US/CT ratio in the PED showed a statistically significant increase (2.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.87 to 3.49) except for the adolescent group (5.82; 95% confidence interval, -2.06 to 13.69).
Conclusion Overall, CT use in pediatric patients has decreased since 2007. Pediatric US use has also shown a decreasing trend; however, the abdominal US/CT ratio in pediatric patients showed an increasing trend, except for adolescents.

Objective Dystonia is a movement disorder in which muscles contract uncontrollably. Acute drug-induced dystonia (DID) can be diagnosed through detailed history taking and physical examination. This study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of DID in children, which could help emergency physicians diagnose these conditions more efficiently. Methods We reviewed medical records of children aged below 18 years diagnosed with drug-related dystonia after discharge from the emergency department over 10 years. We collected the patients’ age, sex, suspected causative drugs, initial diagnosis of the prescribing physician, duration of drug-taking, diagnostic evaluations, treatment methods, and prognosis. Results Seventy-nine patients were enrolled. The mean age was 11.3±4.9 years (range, 4.0 months to 18.0 years), and 41 patients (51.9%) were boys. The most common cause of DID was gastrointestinal medications in 45 patients (57.0%), followed by antipsychotics in 23 patients (29.1%). Eleven (24.4%) out of 45 patients with DID due to gastrointestinal medications had the initial diagnosis of upper respiratory infection, and seven (30.4%) out of 23 patients with DID due to antipsychotics had the initial diagnosis of non-psychotic diseases. Younger children received more diagnostic procedures and were more frequently admitted. A benzodiazepine (67.1%) was the most common single drug for treatment. Conclusion Physicians should not only acknowledge DID in order to reduce unnecessary workup and admission, but also know that antiemetics and antipsychotics are common causes of DID. Therefore, physicians should try to avoid multidrug prescriptions in children.

Objective The aim of this study was to elucidate the epidemiology of pediatric patients transported by the National 119 Rescue Services in Korea.
Methods We enrolled all pediatric patients (<16 years old) who used the National 119 Rescue Services in Korea between January 2006 and December 2008, and analyzed the 119 ambulance patient care record databases.
Results The total number of the cases was 238,644 for 3 years. The median age was 6 years old and 59.0% were male, and the 2- to 5-year-old group was the largest (31.0%). The peak transport times were in the afternoon (from 12:00 p.m. to 17:59 p.m., 36.3%), on Saturday and Sunday (15.9% and 15.7%), and in summer (June to August, 27.3%). The ratio of disease versus injury as the cause of the transports was 42.3% vs. 57.7%. Among the 16 metropolitan cities and provinces, Gyeonggi (25.7%), Seoul (17.6%), and Incheon (7.0%) account for almost half of the all transported children. Regarding the annual transport rates per 100,000 children standardized by age, and gender to the Korean child population, Jeju was the largest (1,650.2) followed by Gangwon (1,201.3), and Jeonnam (1,178.1).
Conclusion This report presents comprehensive epidemiologic data of pediatric patients transported by 119 rescue services in Korea.

The prompt diagnosis and initial management of pediatric traumatic brain injury poses many challenges to the emergency department (ED) physician. In this review, we aim to appraise the literature on specific management issues faced in the ED, specifically: indications for neuroimaging, choice of sedatives, applicability of hyperventilation, utility of hyperosmolar agents, prophylactic anti-epileptics, and effect of hypothermia in traumatic brain injury. A comprehensive literature search of PubMed and Embase was performed in each specific area of focus corresponding to the relevant questions. The majority of the head injured patients presenting to the ED are mild and can be observed. Clinical prediction rules assist the ED physician in deciding if neuroimaging is warranted. In cases of major head injury, prompt airway control and careful use of sedation are necessary to minimize the chance of hypoxia, while avoiding hyperventilation. Hyperosmolar agents should be started in these cases and normothermia maintained. The majority of the evidence is derived from adult studies, and most treatment modalities are still controversial. Recent multicenter trials have highlighted the need to establish common platforms for further collaboration.
