This is a case report, the purpose of which is to describe the experience of using the Pediatric Care Assessment Questionnaire Based on Perceptions of Maternal Care as an add on to Pediatrics guidelines. The results showed that the mothers’ confidence in pediatric guidelines is an indispensable factor for excellence in monitoring the mother’s and the child’s health. However, one of the biggest barriers to a better quality of care in this profession is insufficient time during the consultation to extend the care to the empowered mother regarding her desire for the doctor’s support for shared decision-making. The results made explicit the similarities and differences in this dynamic and the need to converge the two sides of this relationship. In this study, we recommend further studies in the field of pediatrics with regards to empowered mothers in pediatric clinics, implications and solutions for the excellence of pediatric care.

Introduction: The benefits of antenatal corticosteroid (AC) to preterm infants are well established. Its action in multiple tissues promotes maturity of fetal structures, with significant impact in the reduction of neonatal morbimortality. Objective: Evaluate the effects of AC in very low birth weight preterm infants (VLBWPI). Methods: Data from the Rede Gaúcha de Neonatologia of those VLBWPI born between 01/01/2008 and 12/31/2014 at the Fêmina Hospital in Porto Alegre was used. The exposure to AC (one or two doses of intramuscular 12mg betamethasone) and its relation to mortality and following comorbidities were analyzed: respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Results: A total of 496 patients were obtained, of whom 68% received at least one dose of CA and 32% received none. A significant reduction in the incidence of RDS was obtained in the group that exposed to AC (OR 0.468, p = 0.001). A 60% reduction in IVH (OR 0.401, p < 0.001) was noted. A reduction in the incidence of BPD was also observed with the use of AC (OR 0.296-0.903, p = 0.018). No statistical difference was observed in the incidence of PVL (p = 0.3), PDA (p = 0.68), NEC (p = 0.44) or ROP (p = 0.58). Neonatal death was significantly reduced by 78% in those treated with AC (OR 0.22, p < 0.001). Conclusion: exposure to AC, regardless of the number of doses, confers lower morbidity and lower mortality to VLBWPI.

OBJECTIVES: To describe the profile of patients with sickle cell disease admitted to the Childrens Hospital of the Irma Dulce Social Works in Salvador city, Brazil. METHODS: Descriptive study through the analysis of hospitalization data registered in the book of Medical Residence in Pediatric Hematology and in the Hospital Information System, from March 2018 to March 2019. RESULTS: The main one cause of hospitalization is due to occlusive vessel crisis (59.5%) and the age group most affected is from 01 to 05 years (30%). Patients from Salvador city, capital of Bahia state, account for 65%. The average hospital stay is six days. Most patients still do not use hydroxyurea and 6% do not undergo regular outpatient follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: Knowing the profile of patients with sickle cell disease can serve as a basis for improving the specific care that this public needs and for the development of actions for the early detection of the disease and the implementation of reference centers in the interior of the state of Bahia.

INTRODUCTION: Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a ciliary mobility disorder, which is characterized by reduced or uncoordinated mobility of the cilia present in the respiratory epithelium. Consequently, mucociliary transport is impaired in the patient’s respiratory tract, making him susceptible to infections and stasis of recurrent secretions, and later to a hyperplasia of secretory cells. CASE REPORT: This article describes the case of a patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia associated with Kartagener syndrome. All the significant points that led to its early diagnosis (less than 3 years of age) will be highlighted, including clinical status, imaging tests, and genetic study. DISCUSSION: It is an autosomal recessive disease, and in half of the cases it is associated with Kartagener syndrome, which manifests classic signs of chronic sinusitis, situs inversus and bronchiectasis. Furthermore, it is also common to find persistent cough, dyspnea, otitis media, mouth breathing, nasal polyp, and even cardiac malformations in patients with the disease. The differential diagnosis for ciliary dyskinesia is important in order to investigate possible additional damage to the patient due to his clinical condition. Therefore, clinical investigation in conjunction with radiographs, CT scans and cytological exams are the main method for analyzing structural variations. Overall, this dysfunction is usually identified in late stages, so its study is necessary enough to help the early diagnosis of the pathology, contributing to the preservation of the pulmonary function of these patients.

Endotracheal intubation is a frequent procedure in intensive care units and emergency care. The rapid intubation sequence (SRI) consists of a series of steps for sequential administration of sedative drugs and neuromuscular blockers, providing the ideal conditions for endotracheal intubation. The objective of this study is to carry out a bibliographic review of the medications used in pediatric SRI, and to propose the institution of an updated protocol that includes a safe analgesic medication. It is suggested to include dextrocetamine or fentanyl, depending on the clinical condition, for SRI.

The role of the medical team in the evaluation of children with dysphagia goes way beyond the prescription of medical and nonmedical treatment and the evaluation of the possibility of oral feeding. Swallowing disorders in children may compromise growth and development with significant compromise to the child’s general health, sometimes leading to multiple hospital admissions and diagnostic exams that expose the child to unnecessary risks, when ordered outside the context of a multidisciplinary approach. Most times dysphagia is multifactorial. Several pathologies a part from neurologic impairments may be involved as the main cause or a co-factor for swallowing disorders. Treatment may be medical, surgical or both, and some interventions may be needed even during follow-up due to consequences of long-term dysphagia. Specialists central to all multidisciplinary programs are: the otolaryngologist, the pneumologist, the gastroenterologist and the speech and language pathologist to ensure that evaluation of structural and functional aspects of the respiratory and digestive systems and its repercussions on the child’s general health have been encountered and will be continuously accounted for. This letter hopes to bringing attention to the need of a detailed and specialized medical evaluation of these children before and continuously during diagnosis and rehabilitation of these children.

OBJECTIVES: The article reports the case of encephalocele nasofrontal in an infant, relating to the genetic, syndromic and socioenvironmental factors, showing the importance of the health team being attentive to the findings, being a malformation, with a high mortality and morbidity rate and having few reports in the literature. CASE REPORT: Infant, female, born at term, vaginal delivery, 3.570g, natural and coming from Uberaba. After birth, she was hospitalized for a congenital heart disease and Down syndrome, cardiac surgery was performed. In this period, the respiratory physiotherapist perceived the difficulty of introducing the nasal aspirate, and was sent to the otorhinol, without statistical findings, a cranial tomography was performed at 4 months, which diagnosed an infant with nasoethmoidal and nasofrontal encephalocele. The encephalocele is a rare anomaly, with high morbidity, mortality and risk of complications. It is related to other pathologies diagnosed in patients and to the antecedent factors at birth, genetic and environmental causes. COMMENTS: Although it is difficult, with high mortality and morbidity, it is of great value to know about the factors that are related to this anomaly, both for the early diagnosis and for the prevention.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Neonatal ultrasound began in the 1970s to evaluate cerebral hemorrhages. With the advent of different transducers and improvement of the technological devices (Doppler function), its use has greatly expanded, being possible the evaluation many organs. Objectives: The study aims to show new applicability of ultrasonography, as an auxiliary method in the diagnosis of spinal alterations, pulmonary diseases, and cranial sutures in the neonatal period. Methods: Descriptive study of ultrasound examinations performed with the Logiq P7 device of General EletricT, with multifrequency and microconvex transducers with frequency of 3 to 11 MHz and linear with frequency of 2 to 11 MHz.
