RESUMO

Introduction: Pediatric out of hospital cardiac arrest (POHCA) is rare, with high mortality and neurological morbidity. Adherence to Pediatric Advanced Life Support guidelines standardizes in-hospital care and improves outcomes. We hypothesized that in-hospital care of POHCA patients was variable and deviations from guidelines were associated with higher mortality. Methods: POHCA patients in the London-Middlesex region between January 2012 and June 2020 were included. The care of children with ongoing arrest (intra-arrest) and post-arrest outcomes were reviewed using the Children's Hospital, London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) patient database and the Adverse Event Management System. Results: 50 POHCA patients arrived to hospital, with 15 (30%) patients admitted and 2 (4.0%) surviving to discharge, both with poor neurological outcomes and no improvement at 90 days. Deviations occurred at every event with intra-arrest care deviations occurring mostly in medication delivery and defibrillation (98%). Post-arrest deviations occurred mostly in temperature monitoring (60%). Data missingness was 15.9% in the intra-arrest and 1.7% in the post-arrest group. Discussion: Deviations commonly occurred in both in-hospital arrest and post-arrest care. The study was under-powered to identify associations between DEVs and outcomes. Future work includes addressing specific deviations in intra-arrest and post-arrest care of POHCA patients and standardizing electronic documentation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Pain is the most common reason for prehospital transport. As emergency wait times increase, timely pain management is essential. In children, there is abundant evidence that prehospital pharmacologic analgesia is suboptimal, but little is known about non-pharmacologic therapies. We sought to characterize documentation by paramedics of non-pharmacologic (immobilization and ice) and pharmacologic analgesia in children with musculoskeletal injuries. METHODS: We reviewed all ambulance call reports for children 0-17 years transported to Southwestern Ontario regional hospitals from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2019, with a musculoskeletal injury (Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care problem codes 66 and 67). Primary and secondary outcomes were documented immobilization or ice and pharmacologic analgesia, respectively. In a multivariable analysis, we explored the relationship between immobilization or ice and the following a priori covariates: age, sex, visible deformity, crew type, pain severity, and analgesia. RESULTS: Of 40,692 ambulance call reports reviewed, 4445 met inclusion criteria. There were 2584/4441 (58.2%) males, with a median (IQR) age of 14 (10, 16) years. In ambulance call reports with documented pain scores, 2106/3048 (69.1%) ambulance call reports reported "moderate or severe" pain. Immobilization or ice were documented in 1605/4445 (36.1%) and 385/4445 (8.7%) of ambulance call reports. Pharmacologic analgesia was documented in 275/1983 (13.9%) and 125/991 (12.6%) of ambulance call reports for primary care paramedics and advanced care paramedics, respectively. An increased odds of documented immobilization or ice was associated with moderate or severe pain [OR: 2.4; 95% CI 1.84-3.17; p < 0.01] and visible deformity [OR: 2.5; 95% CI 1.97-3.12; p < 0.01]. CONCLUSIONS: Documented immobilization and ice and pharmacologic analgesia to children by paramedics is suboptimal. Our findings underscore an important need for enhanced education surrounding the benefits of non-pharmacologic options for children with musculoskeletal injuries.


RéSUMé: OBJECTIFS: La douleur est le motif le plus fréquent de transport préhospitalier. À mesure que les temps d'attente aux urgences augmentent, la gestion de la douleur en temps opportun est essentielle. Chez les enfants, il existe de nombreuses preuves que l'analgésie pharmacologique préhospitalière est sous-optimale, mais on sait peu de choses sur les thérapies non pharmacologiques. Nous avons cherché à caractériser la documentation par les ambulanciers paramédicaux de l'analgésie non pharmacologique (immobilisation et glace) et pharmacologique chez les enfants souffrant de lésions musculo-squelettiques. MéTHODES: Nous avons examiné tous les rapports d'appels d'ambulance pour les enfants de 0 à 17 ans transportés vers les hôpitaux régionaux du Sud-Ouest de l'Ontario du 1er janvier 2017 au 31 décembre 2019, avec une blessure musculo-squelettique (codes de problèmes 66 et 67 du ministère de la Santé et des Soins de longue durée de l'Ontario). Les résultats primaires et secondaires étaient l'immobilisation documentée ou la glace et l'analgésie pharmacologique, respectivement. Dans une analyse multivariable, nous avons exploré la relation entre l'immobilisation ou la glace et les covariables a priori suivantes: âge, sexe, déformation visible, type d'équipage, intensité de la douleur et analgésie. RéSULTATS: Sur les 40 692 rapports d'appels d'ambulance examinés, 4 445 répondaient aux critères d'inclusion. Il y avait 2584/4441 (58,2 %) hommes, avec un âge médian (IQR) de 14 (10,16) ans. Dans les rapports d'appel d'ambulance avec des scores de douleur documentés, 2106/3048 (69,1 %) rapports d'appel d'ambulance ont signalé une douleur "modérée ou sévère". L'immobilisation ou la glace ont été documentées dans 1605/4445 (36,1 %) et 385/4445 (8,7 %) des rapports d'appel d'ambulance. L'analgésie pharmacologique a été documentée dans 275/1983 (13,9 %) et 125/991 (12,6 %) des rapports d'appel d'ambulance pour les ambulanciers de soins primaires et les ambulanciers de soins avancés, respectivement. Une probabilité accrue d'immobilisation documentée ou de glace était associée à une douleur modérée ou intense [OR: 2,4; IC à 95 %: 1,84-3,17; p < 0,01] et déformation visible [OR: 2,5; IC à 95 %: 1,97-3,12; p < 0,01]. CONCLUSIONS: L'immobilisation documentée et l'administration de glace et d'analgésie pharmacologique aux enfants par les ambulanciers est sous-optimale. Nos résultats soulignent le besoin important de renforcer l'éducation concernant les avantages des options non pharmacologiques pour les enfants souffrant de blessures musculo-squelettiques.
