Rectal Temps in Pediatrics
2008-03-22 18:52:00 A previous commenter suggested we stop doing rectal temps on infants and use tympanic temps.If you google this you will find myriad articles available on comparisons of different methods of obtaining a temperature on kids- Here is one of them. Temporal artery scanning is the worst then comes tympanic. I worked in a pediatric ER where we did our own study and typanic temps correlated to rectal temps in less than 66% of the cases, temporal artery scanning correlated less than 42% of the time.Rectal temps are the GOLD STANDARD of obtaining a temperature in neonates and infants. I would never take the chance of missing a temp in a septic kid even if it means the chance of getting splattered with baby poop. A little baby poop never hurt any one.

NY State Supreme Court considers Rectal Exam
2008-01-17 03:11:00 What a great title. In March, the NY Supreme Court will consider the case of a man who was sedated and forced to receive a rectal exam....for a head wound. The man had received an injury to the head that required eight stitches, but was coherent, in full control of his extremities, and had full range of motion in them. He was told he needed an emergency rectal exam to determine if he had a spinal cord injury, but refused repeatedly. When he was held down, he resisted and struck one of the doctors. He was then sedated, and forced to undergo the exam anyway. When he woke up, he was arrested and charged with assault.The criminal charges against him were dropped, but now he's suing the hospital for an informed consent violation. One of the exceptions to the requirement of informed consent is when a procedure is a medical emergency to save the patient's life or prevent substantial harm from occurring to him. It's not certain that this was the case here. The other big exception is when...

Obesity strongest risk factor for colorectal cancer among women; greater th
2007-10-15 17:55:00 Philadelphia, PA, October 15, 2007 ? Research presented at the 72nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology found that obesity, among other important risk factors, was the strongest risk factor for colorectal cancer in women. Joseph C. Anderson, MD of Stony Brook University in New York (and the University of Connecticut) and his colleagues examined data from 1,252 women who underwent colonoscopy. They classified patients according to their age, smoking history, family history of colorectal cancer, and body mass index (BMI). Obesity was defined as a BMI of 30 or higher. For smoking, patients were divided into three groups: heavy exposure, low exposure, and no exposure. Patients who were in the heavy exposure group included women who had smoked more than 10 "pack years" and who were currently smoking or had quit in the past 10 years. Although smoking posed a significant increased risk for colorectal neoplasia, researchers found that for women, obesity w...

Nebulizers, Steroids, and Rectal Temperatures Oh My!
2007-07-02 06:35:00 Little Bear is sounding like a seal with a terribly croup cough right now. The doctor told us that it was the first case of it that he has seen since April. I spent most of the day at Urgent Care fighting with her to submit to the nebulizer treatment and gooey medication containing steroids being squirted into her mouth which was clenched shut. It is so hard for us parents to watch our children be poked and prodded. We know that these procedures and tests are necessary, yet our heart wrenches at the first cry of frustration. No one really likes to have their temperature taken rectally. It's not comfortable and if they are taking your temperature that way, more than likely you aren't feeling so well to begin with. The nebulizer, however, is rather harmless. It is not scary. It is not invasive. Yet Little Bear had a complete hatred for it. Not even a cup of milk could calm her down when the blue tube of mist and doom came near her. She was so mad. She was a smart little cookie about...
