ALiEM presents Trick of the Trade: Ultrarapid adenosine push for SVT with a pressure bag

Adenosine has an ultrafast half-life between 0.6 to 10 seconds, so it needs to reach the cells of the AV-node and cardiac pacemaker cells in an expedited fashion to facilitate the termination of supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs). Currently, there are 2-syringe and 1-syringe methods that are widely accepted for the administration of adenosine. Recent data suggests that they are non-inferior to each other.

From Collision to Clarity: PECARN cervical spine injury prediction rule for injured children

Cervical spine injuries in children, while uncommon, can be devastating if not identified and treated promptly. Emergency physicians often face the challenge of deciding whether to proceed with imaging, given the potential risks associated with ionizing radiation from CT scans. The lack of clear guidelines specifically tailored for pediatric patients has historically led to either overuse of imaging, with its associated risks, or underuse, with the risk of missed injuries.
…until now!

ALiEM presents ACMT Visual Pearl: Watt-Ever is that Foreign Body?

What foreign body should be suspected in a young child who is drooling and has the following chest x-ray?
.
.
.
.
Button battery!

Pearls:
- Button battery ingestions can have non-specific presentations but have a high morbidity.
- Diagnosis is typically made with an x-ray. Look for a halo sign and step-off sign to help identify a button battery.
- Esophageal batteries are typically oriented in the coronal plane. Tracheal foreign bodies are typically oriented in the sagittal plane.
- Button batteries in the esophagus require urgent removal, ideally within 2 hrs.
- Honey and sucralfate can help reduce mucosal damage if given < 12 hrs post-ingestion.
