Evidence-based pediatric asthma interventions and outcome measures in a healthy homes program: An integrative review

Objective: Asthma disproportionately impacts and has poorer outcomes in low-income, minority, and inner-city children. The home environment has a profound impact on a child's asthma. Home-based asthma visits have the potential to positively impact a child's asthma, especially in targeted populations. The purpose of this integrative review is 1.) to explore the effectiveness of home-based education and environmental measures and 2.) to explore specific indicators and tools to measure pediatric asthma control and program effectiveness. Data Sources: Medline, CINHAL, and Ovid databases were searched from 2010 to 2017 utilizing the keywords healthy homes AND asthma and home based interventions AND asthma. Study Selections: A total of 71 articles were retrieved of which 27 articles met the inclusion criteria of English language, human subjects, and the inclusion of pediatric populations. Three additional articles were hand-searched from previous references. In total, 30 articles were reviewed. A quality appraisal was conducted utilizing standardized appraisal tools. Results: Home-based asthma education and environmental interventions have proven to be effective. The programs reviewed varied in types of interventions, intensity and duration, the type of provider, length of follow-up, and outcome measures. Successful programs were patient-centered, included a home assessment and individualized education and interventions, and were collaborative. Multiple outcome indicators such as health care utilization, asthma control, missed days of school or productivity, asthma symptoms, and verification of environmental remediation have been utilized. Conclusion: Home-based asthma programs can be beneficial to children with poorly controlled asthma and have the potential to be cost-effective.

The management of emergency hospital visits for inflammatory bowel diseases: A French national expert consensus report

BackgroundManagement of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in the emergency department is often suboptimal.AimsTo develop a national consensus checklist of indicators to facilitate decision-making in emergency departments concerning hospitalisation and referral for abdominopelvic computed tomography (CT).MethodsA Delphi survey was used to obtain consensus on a checklist of clinical and biological variables. 119 healthcare professionals experienced in treating IBD were invited to participate. Panellists were provided with a literature survey and invited to agree or disagree with items on a prototype checklist. Two successive rounds of voting were organised.ResultsThe prototype checklist included fifteen clinical or laboratory indicators for hospitalisation or CT. Four indicators were not retained in the Delphi process and four additional indicators added. The final indicators retained were: abdominal signs/symptoms of disease exacerbation, intravenous morphine titration, fever, vomiting, dehydration, recent intestinal surgery, ano-perineal abscess, bowel obstruction, haemodynamic instability, anaemia, acute kidney failure and elevated C-reactive protein. Consensus for the retained indicators was >88%.ConclusionsUse of this consensus checklist for the management of IBD in the emergency department may help improve standards of care and thus reduce the burden of these diseases.     

Altered Mental Status as the Primary Presentation of Intussusception in a 3-Month-Old Child Diagnosed by Point-Of-Care Ultrasonography

BackgroundIntussusception can lead to significant morbidity in affected children secondary to tissue ischemia and necrosis. When a child outside of the classic age range presents with symptoms other than intermittent abdominal pain, the diagnosis of intussusception can be difficult and is often delayed.Case ReportWe present the case of a three-month-old boy who presented to the emergency department with waxing and waning mental status and seizure-like activity who was ultimately diagnosed with intussusception. The effective use of bedside ultrasonography, by the attending pediatric radiologist, enabled an interdisciplinary team to explore abdominal etiologies in parallel with testing for more commonly seen causes of altered mental status. This led to an expedited diagnosis and successful definitive management.Why Should an Emergency Physician Be Aware of This?Intussusception is a common pediatric emergency encountered by emergency physicians where a timely diagnosis can have a profound impact on patient outcomes. Previous case reports highlight how easily intussusception can be overlooked with this atypical neurologic presentation. Furthermore, because patients with profound altered mental status are often too ill to leave the emergency department for diagnostic testing, bedside abdominal ultrasonography may be helpful in these patients.
