    Abstract Objectives: Literature demonstrates that pediatric residents are not graduating with procedural confidence and competency. This was confirmed with our own institution's Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and internal surveys. Our primary objective was to improve procedural confidence among pediatric residents with the introduction of a mandatory longitudinal pediatric procedural curriculum, including simulation in combination with online modules.
    Methods: We performed a quality improvement intervention to increase resident comfort level performing Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-required procedures. This study involved pediatric residents, postgraduation year (PGY) 1-3, at an academic, tertiary care hospital. Between April 2015 and June 2017, the combination of online self-directed learning modules and hands-on simulation curriculum was implemented for pediatric residents. Surveys were administered at 1-year intervals to assess self-reported comfort level on 12 procedures using a Likert scale (1 for "strongly disagree" to 5 for "strongly agree, maximum score of 60 for all procedures).
    Results: Forty (63%) of 63 participant presurveys and 45 (71%) of 63 postsurveys were available for analysis. The mean comfort level for all procedures demonstrated a statistically significant increase from 32.4 to 37.1, or 12.7% (P = 0.005). By PGY level, the score increased from 24.4 to 30.9 (21%) for PGY1, 34.4 to 37.5 (8.3%) for PGY2, and 38.6 to 42.8 (9.8%) for PGY3 (P < 0.005). Overall, pediatric residents rated the simulation experience very favorably.
    Conclusions: A mandatory longitudinal procedure curriculum improved procedural comfort level among pediatric residents. Iterative curriculum designs found the most productive combination to be deliberate practice within mastery learning simulation sessions with required precourse online modules.

    Abstract Objectives: There has been controversy over whether ketamine affects intracranial pressure (ICP) in children. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) is a validated technique used to assess ICP changes noninvasively. Gosling pulsatility index (PI) directly correlates with ICP changes. The objective of this study was to quantify PI changes as a surrogate marker for ICP changes in previously healthy children receiving intravenous ketamine for procedural sedation.
    Methods: We performed a prospective, observational study of patients 5-18 years old who underwent sedation with intravenous ketamine as monotherapy. ICP changes were assessed by surrogate PI at baseline, immediately after ketamine administration, and every 5 minutes until completion of the procedure. The primary outcome measure was PI change after ketamine administration compared to baseline (denoted ΔPI).
    Results: We enrolled 15 participants. Mean age was 9.9 ± 3.4 years. Most participants underwent sedation for fracture reduction (87%). Mean initial ketamine dose was 1.4 ± 0.3 mg/kg. PI decreased at all time points after ketamine administration. Mean ΔPI at sedation onset was -0.23 (95% confidence interval [CI] = -0.30 to -0.15), at 5 minutes was -0.23 (95% CI = -0.28 to -0.18), at 10 minutes was -0.14 (95% CI = -0.21 to -0.08), at 15 minutes was -0.18 (95% CI = -0.25 to -0.12), and at 20 minutes was -0.19 (95% CI = -0.26 to -0.12). Using a clinically relevant threshold of ΔPI set at +1 (+8 cm H
    Conclusions: Ketamine did not significantly increase PI, which was used as a surrogate marker for ICP in this sample of previously healthy children. This pilot study demonstrates a model for evaluating ICP changes noninvasively in the emergency department.

    Abstract Abstract: Point-of-care ultrasound can be an effective tool for pediatric emergency medicine providers in the evaluation of soft tissue lesions. We present a series of 4 pediatric patients with neck lesions in whom point-of-care ultrasound identified the type of lesion, guided decision-making on the need for computed tomography imaging, and led to definitive management.
