Blunt abdominal injuries
Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without
laboratory or ultrasonographic information)
identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies
Intussusception disposition
Chien et al J Emerg Med 2013
Retrospective chart review
98 children
10 recurrences in 7 children
Overall recurrence rate 71
Early recurrence rate 2
No adverse events
Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced
intussusception
Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

Dispo
Blunt abdominal injuries
Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without
laboratory or ultrasonographic information)
identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies
Intussusception disposition
Chien et al J Emerg Med 2013
Retrospective chart review
98 children
10 recurrences in 7 children
Overall recurrence rate 71
Early recurrence rate 2
No adverse events
Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced
intussusception
Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without

identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies

Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced

Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

In children with low pretest probability of

Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without

identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies
Intussusception disposition
Chien et al J Emerg Med 2013
Retrospective chart review
98 children
10 recurrences in 7 children
Overall recurrence rate 71
Early recurrence rate 2
No adverse events
Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced
intussusception
Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

Abdominal tenderness elevated LFTs
CT scan negative
Dispo
Blunt abdominal injuries
Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without
laboratory or ultrasonographic information)
identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies
Intussusception disposition
Chien et al J Emerg Med 2013
Retrospective chart review
98 children
10 recurrences in 7 children
Overall recurrence rate 71
Early recurrence rate 2
No adverse events
Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced
intussusception
Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without

identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception

Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies

A prediction rule based on HampP (without

identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury

Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph

In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies

Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without

identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films

Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies

Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative

Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without
laboratory or ultrasonographic information)
identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies
Intussusception disposition
Chien et al J Emerg Med 2013
Retrospective chart review

Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced
intussusception
Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without

identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies

Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced
intussusception
Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

the need for additional studies

Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies

Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies

Blunt abdominal injuries
Conclusion
A prediction rule based on HampP (without
laboratory or ultrasonographic information)
identifies children with blunt torso trauma who
are at very low risk for intra-abdominal injury
CT scan rarely misses clinically important blunt
abdominal traumatic injuries
Intussusception
Intussusception plain films
Roskind et al Pediatr Emerg Care 2012
Conclusion
Findings on the 3-view abdominal radiograph
can decrease and potentially exclude the
diagnosis of ileocolic intussusception
In children with low pretest probability of
intussusception 3-view radiographs may obviate
the need for additional studies
Intussusception disposition
Chien et al J Emerg Med 2013
Retrospective chart review
98 children
10 recurrences in 7 children
Overall recurrence rate 71
Early recurrence rate 2
No adverse events
Intussusception disposition
Conclusion
ED observation for 6 hours is safe alternative
to inpatient management for enema-reduced
intussusception
Colo-colonic reduced intussusception may have
an increased risk for recurrence

Skeletal survey in abuse
Duffy et al Pediatrics 2011
2006 gt14000 child victims
703 consecutive patients
Retrospective descriptive study
Use of skeletal survey (SS) to identify children
most likely to have unsuspected fractures
How often SS results directly influence
diagnosis of abuse
Skeletal survey in abuse
Positive SS result = previously unsuspected
fracture
703 SS 108 positive results
79 had gt1 healing fracture
Highest rates
lt 6 months
ALTE or seizure
Suspected abusive head trauma
Skeletal survey in abuse
Conclusion
Almost 11 of SS positive
In 50 positive SS cases results directly
influenced the decision to make the diagnosis of
abuse
Obtain SS in infants lt6 months with suspected
abuse
