RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: When oral rehydration is not feasible, enteral rehydration via the nasogastric route has been the ESPGHAN recommended method of rehydration since 2008, rather than intravenous rehydration (IVR), for children with acute gastroenteritis. However, these recommendations are rarely followed in France. Since 2011, in case of failure of oral rehydration, enteral rehydration has been used as a first-line therapy in the Children's Emergency Department at the Grenoble-Alpes University Hospital. PURPOSE: The aims of the study were to compare the length of the hospital stay, the duration of initial rehydration, and the incidence of complications and failure with the use of enteral nasogastric versus intravenous rehydration. METHODS: This study compared two cohorts of children (<3 years of age) with mild-to-moderate dehydration caused by acute gastroenteritis and failure of rehydration via the oral route. The first group (winter 2010-2011) was managed according to the previous protocol (intravenous rehydration). The second group (winter 2011-2012) was managed according the new protocol (nasogastric tube rehydration [NGR]). The rest of the gastroenteritis management was identical in both groups. RESULTS: A total of 132 children were included, 65 were treated with nasogastric tube rehydration (NGR) and 67 with intravenous rehydration. There was a significant reduction in the duration of hospitalization in the post-emergency unit in the NGR group: 23.6h vs 40.1h (P<0.05). The duration of initial rehydration was also significantly reduced (10.5h vs 22.0h). There was no significant difference regarding serious adverse events. However, the NGR group presented more mild adverse events (22 vs 7, P<0.05) and more treatment failures (15.3% vs 3%, P=0.013). CONCLUSION: Nasogastric rehydration reduces the duration of rehydration and the length of the hospital stay without increasing the incidence of serious adverse events for dehydrated children hospitalized for acute gastroenteritis.

RESUMO

Injection site reactions (ISRs) are quite common side effects defined by a local adverse drug reaction directly caused by a vaccine. Twenty-four hours after an intramuscular injection (in the deltoid muscle) of the diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, inactivated poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenza type b (DTPCa-Hib) combined vaccine, a 3-year-old boy developed fever. A few hours later, local redness and swelling appeared at the injection site, with rapid extension to the entire limb, it was pain-free, and no other clinical anomalies were present. The patient received intravenous antibiotics for suspected cellulitis. The progression was favorable in 12h (apyrexia and decreased limb swelling), allowing the intravenous antibiotic treatment to be discontinued. Since the child was in excellent general health and recovery was fast, an ISR was diagnosed. Extensive limb swelling is frequent, mostly after the fourth dose of DTPCa-Hib. Deltoid muscle injection of DTP vaccine increases the risk of ISR compared to injection in the thigh, before the age of 3 years. The introduction of acellular pertussis vaccine decreased the risk of general side effects but may increase the risk of ISR. These reactions disappear with symptomatic treatment and do not contraindicate the product.

RESUMO

Soft infant carriers such as slings have become extremely popular in the west and are usually considered safe. We report 19 cases of sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) linked to infant carrier. Most patients were healthy full-term babies less than 3 months of age, and suffocation was the most frequent cause of death. CONCLUSION: Infant carriers represent an underestimated cause of death by suffocation in neonates. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Sudden unexpected deaths in infancy linked to infant carrier have been only sparsely reported. WHAT IS NEW: • We report a series of 19 cases strongly suggesting age of less than 3 months as a risk factor and suffocation as the mechanism of death.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The northern French Alps emergency network (RENAU) manages emergent care and patient treatment pathways in a three-county area in the French Alps. The aim of the study was to describe the pediatric activity in mobile intensive care units (MICUs). METHOD: This retrospective observational study was conducted from 1 January to 31 December 2012. Data were obtained from patients' medical records in seven representative MICUs of the RENAU. Consecutive patients between 1 month and 18 years of age were enrolled. RESULTS: During the study period, MICUs carried out 11,951 primary transports and 3087 secondary transfers. A total of 1325 patients were enrolled: 1087 primary transports and 238 secondary transfers. In primary interventions, 531 (48.9%) patients were managed for a trauma, 118 (11%) children were discharged and stayed home, 427 (39.9%) underwent an intravenous cannulation and 27 (2.5%) on-scene intubation. A pediatrician was in charge of 64 (26.9%) secondary transfers. Among 1649 (18%) mountain rescues, 296 (18.7%) involved a child. CONCLUSION: Emergency physicians in MICUs are involved with children's prehospital care and need dedicated materiel and special training.

RESUMO

In France, the number of deaths remains high in the pediatric population. These deaths are rarely subject to a scientific or forensic autopsy. However, this medical act appears necessary to answer the many private and public questions (public health, prevention, judicial, or even institutional) that can arise. Two pediatric clinical observations raising these questions in the context of a household accident are presented. In the first one, the death led to the establishment of a forensic obstacle to the burial and a forensic autopsy. The autopsy results provided answers, both to the relatives and to the court. The second concerns a deceased child managed within the protocol for sudden infant death syndrome. The autopsy was not authorized by the parents and no answer on the causes of death could be determined. These 2 observations underline the importance and utility of this medical act.

RESUMO

STUDY OBJECTIVE: The clinical manifestations and outcome of infants and children with confirmed 2009 H1N1 influenza in emergency departments is described. METHODS: We conducted a prospective multicenter case series involving children with symptoms of influenza-like illness in whom 2009 H1N1 influenza was diagnosed on reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay on a nasopharyngeal swab or nasal aspirates and who were admitted to the ED of four university pediatric hospitals. The following data were collected: age, gender, preexisting chronic conditions (PECs) associated with a high risk for influenza-related complications, clinical symptoms, outcome, antiviral treatment, and complications. We recorded length of cough and fever during a phone-call on day 8. RESULTS: Between 1st October and 31st December 2009, 466 children were included. Their median age was 4 years (range, 1 day to 17 years). The median time to consultation was 24h. Of these 466 infants and children, 55 were aged less than three months and 153 had one or more PECs. Asthma was the most frequent condition. Children at risk and children without risk did not differ for complications (28% vs 31%, P>0.05). Respiratory complications (17%) and decompensations of preexisting disease were the most frequent. Infants aged less than three months did not have more complications than infants without PECs. At-risk infants and children were more frequently hospitalized (P<0.02) and the duration of the pediatric ward stay was longer (P<0.02). This was true only for children aged less than three months. Of the hospitalized children, 17 (9%) were admitted to an ICU. Duration of fever (3.8 days) and duration of cough (6.3 days) did not differ according to whether or not children received oseltamivir. CONCLUSION: Infants younger than three months of age are not a group at risk for influenza-related complications. Oseltamivir did not reduce duration of symptoms in this population.

RESUMO

Acute gastroenteritis remains a common and often severe illness among infants and children throughout the world. The management of a child with acute diarrhea includes rehydration and maintenance fluids with oral rehydration solutions (ORS), combined with continued age-appropriate nutrition. However, although substantial data support the role of continued nutrition in improving gastrointestinal function and anthropometric, biochemical, and clinical outcomes, the practice of continued feeding during diarrheal episodes has been difficult to establish as accepted standard of care. Recommendations for maintenance dietary therapy depend on the age and diet history of the patient. It has been clear for many years that, when affected by gastroenteritis, breastfed infants should be continued on breast milk without any need for interruption and, by that way, will get faster recovery and improved nutrition. Moreover, many well-conducted studies have provided evidence that in formula-fed children not severely dehydrated, a rapid return to full feeding is well tolerated. Lactose intolerance and/or secondary cow's milk allergy are not a clinical concern for the vast majority of patients. In fact early refeeding i.e resumption of normal diet, in amounts sufficient to satisfy energy and nutrient requirements, should be the rule. However, in children younger than 6 months of age, the lack of suitable studies must lead to caution and use of specific lactose-free or extensively hydrolysate formulae, especially in case of severe and/or prolonged diarrhea. Several studies support the use of zinc supplementation or probiotics for acute diarrhea but some doubts persist in infant in developed countries.
