RESUMO

Background: In Japan, approximately 35% of facilities experience sedation-related complications for pediatric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including severe complications such as respiratory and cardiac arrests. In the medical education field, simulation improves not only the quality of real emergency response but also health care workers' self-efficacy. Individuals with high self-efficacy are better prepared at handling diverse conditions. However, there is no research examining the impact of sedation simulation for pediatric MRI on the self-efficacy of health care workers. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the impact of sedation simulation for pediatric MRI on the self-efficacy of health care workers in sedation. Methods: The study was conducted on August 18, 2023, and enrolled pediatricians, nurses, and radiological technologists. The impact of sedation simulation for pediatric MRI on the participants was analyzed using confidence scale scores and part of the Pediatric Resuscitation and Escalation of Care Self-Efficacy Scale (PRSES), before and after sedation simulation for pediatric MRI. Results: Eighteen participants (six pediatricians, six nurses, and six radiological technologists) were included in this study. Regarding confidence scale scores, a significant improvement was observed in the overall group (P = 0.002) and among the nurses (P = 0.0036). Regarding the item 'When confronted with a clinically deteriorating child, I know how to ask for assistance' of PRSES, a significant improvement was observed in the overall group (P = 0.0035) and among the radiological technologists (P = 0.048). Conclusion: There's a potential for sedation simulation for pediatric MRI to increase the self-efficacy of health care workers in MRI sedation. Our findings suggest that this training has a valuable role in preparing health care workers to practice sedation for pediatric MRI.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Self-efficacy plays an important role in enhancing the teaching capabilities of attending physicians (APs). The clinical ladder (CL) is an educational approach developed in the field of nursing education that increases difficulty in an incremental manner. However, no previous study has confirmed the effectiveness of CL in medical education. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of clinical clerkship integrated with clinical ladder (CC-CL) on the self-efficacy of APs. METHODS: Sixth-year medical students participated in CC-CL for 6 months starting from April 2023, and the changes in the self-efficacy of APs were retrospectively evaluated. The students were trained by the APs concurrently, and the achievement levels of each student were shared. The primary outcome measure was the physician teaching self-efficacy questionnaire (PTSQ) score. The PTSQ scores before and after CC-CL were analyzed using the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed-rank test. RESULTS: Fifteen APs from the Department of Pediatric and Child Neurology were included in this study. No significant difference was observed in the total PTSQ scores of the APs before and after CC-CL. However, a significant increase was observed in the PTSQ score of APs who participated for at least 2 h per week over a period of more than 3 months (n = 8) after CC-CL (p = 0.022). Furthermore, APs who had received their pediatrician certification < 10 years ago (n = 8) showed a significant increase in the total PTSQ score after CC-CL (p = 0.022). CONCLUSIONS: CC-CL may play an important role in cultivating the self-efficacy of less experienced APs. Further comparative studies must be conducted in the future to validate the findings of this study.

RESUMO

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and poor glycemic control are risk factors for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Sotrovimab can treat mild-to-moderate COVID-19 in patients at a high risk of progression to severe COVID-19. However, its safety and efficacy in T1DM patients remain to be elucidated. We report the case of a 12-yr-old patient who was treated with sotrovimab for COVID-19 immediately after treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) due to new-onset T1DM. He presented with nausea and sore throat and was diagnosed with severe DKA and COVID-19. A productive cough and sputum developed after admission. On the 3rd day of admission, the DKA resolved, and sotrovimab was administered to prevent exacerbation of COVID-19. Although the blood glucose levels increased after the administration of sotrobimab, there was no recurrence of DKA. Hyperglycemia may be a sotrovimab-related adverse event in T1DM patients. Nevertheless, the benefits of sotrovimab treatment may far outweigh the potential risks. Thus, sotrovimab was considered safe for patients with T1DM immediately after treatment of severe DKA.

RESUMO

To assess whether target temperature management (TTM) is effective for 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcome among pediatric patients who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). The Japanese Association for Acute Medicine-out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (JAAM-OHCA) Registry, a multicenter prospective observational registry in Japan, included OHCA patients aged ≤17 years who achieved ROSC between June 2014 and December 2017. The primary outcome was 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes, defined as pediatric cerebral performance category 1 or 2. We conducted a propensity score analysis with inverse-probability-of-treatment weighting (IPTW) and evaluated the effect of TTM using logistic regression models with IPTW. A total of 167 patients [120 in the non-TTM group (71.9%) and 47 in the TTM group (28.1%)] were eligible for our analysis. The proportion of patients demonstrating 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes was 25.5% (12/47) in the TTM group and 16.7% (20/120) in the non-TTM group; there were no significant differences in favorable neurological outcomes (odds ratio, 1.36; 95% confidence interval, 0.55-3.35) between the non-TTM and TTM groups after performing adjustments with IPTW. In our study population composed of pediatric patients who achieved ROSC after OHCA, we did not find a positive association between TTM implementation and 1-month survival with favorable neurological outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is an X-linked neurocutaneous disorder that can present with cerebral arteriopathy during early infancy. However, no previous reports have demonstrated arteriopathic manifestations during postinfantile childhood in patients with IP. PATIENT DESCRIPTION: We describe a case of IP in a 2-year-old girl who developed encephalopathic manifestations associated with influenza A infection. She presented diffuse magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities involving the cortices, subcortical white matter, corpus callosum, basal ganglia, and thalami, resembling the findings in early infantile cases reported in the previous literatures. Magnetic resonance angiography demonstrated attenuation of the cerebral arteries. Proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines were upregulated in the cerebrospinal fluid. Left hemiplegia remained following the remission of the arteriopathic manifestations. Genetic analyses revealed a novel type of mutation in the IKBKG gene. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that patients with IP can develop destructive cerebral arteriopathy even after early infancy. The similarities in magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities between our patient and the previously reported infantile patients may be explained by the underlying immunologic pathophysiology of IP.
