CLINICIAN'S CAPSULEWhat is known about the topic?Children's pain in the emergency department (ED) continues to be under-recognized and sub-optimally managed.What did this study ask?We sought to evaluate the frequency of caregiver/child acceptance of analgesia offered in the ED.What did this study find?Of the 743 children who presented to the ED with a painful condition, 408 (54.9%) were offered analgesia. If offered in the ED, analgesia was accepted by 91% (373/408) of the caregivers/children.Why does this study matter to clinicians?This study suggests that caregiver/child refusal of analgesia is a not a major barrier to optimal pain management and highlights the importance of ED personnel in encouraging adequate analgesia.
Our findings suggest that there is no significant difference between CRC and SC in detecting sentinel nodes; however, CRC uses less medical isotopes. In the current climate of critical shortages of medical radioisotopes, radiocolloids should be selected for use based on amount of radioisotope required.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
