Teaching Pediatric Procedural Pain And Anxiety Management To Residents: Early Outcomes Of A Newly Developed Curriculum, Jennifer J. Dilts, Brian R. Lee, Shobhit Jain, Ross Newman, Sarah Fouquet, Michael Brancato, Kadriye O. Lewis
Posters
Background: Poorly managed pediatric pain has negative long-term outcomes, including needle phobia, increased pain and anxiety with subsequent procedures, and healthcare avoidance in adulthood. Evidence-based interventions to reduce procedural pain and anxiety are vastly underutilized, and a literature search revealed no specific curriculum to teach residents optimal skills for pain and anxiety management in minor procedures (e.g. venipuncture, laceration repair). Thus, we developed a multimedia-based lecture with PowerPoint, utilizing results from a focus group interview (conducted with 7 pediatric residents, to determine educational content and identify residents’ needs and learning preferences).
Objective: To measure residents’ learning outcomes (knowledge, attitudes, perceived …

Human Lactoferrin And The Siderophore Aerobactin Independently Impact Intestinal Invasion By Neonatal Escherichia Coli Bacteremia Isolates, Susana Chavez-Bueno, Joshua Wheatley, Jennifer Tabakh
Posters
Background: E. coli is a major cause of neonatal sepsis. After ingestion, E. coli translocates the neonatal gut causing bacteremia. E. coli virulence depends on iron acquisition mechanisms, including siderophore systems. Lactoferrin (LF) protects against neonatal sepsis through immunomodulatory and antimicrobial effects which include iron chelation. However, it is not known whether siderophores in neonatal E. coli strains have an impact on LF’s effects on bacterial invasion and survival in intestinal epithelium.
Objective: To investigate the effects of human LF and the siderophore aerobactin on intestinal invasion and survival of septicemia-producing neonatal E. coli.
Design/Methods: Neonatal E. coli septicemia isolates …

Pediatric Resident Reflections From A Non-Medical Home Visit Of A Child With Medical Complexity, Emily J. Goodwin, Sheryl Chadwick, Deejo Miller, Kathryn Taff, Amanda Montalbano
Posters
Background: Pediatric residents typically only interact with patients and families in healthcare settings which limits the opportunity to fully understand the patient and family experience. Encounters with children with medical complexity (CMC) that only relate to illness or health monitoring can anchor residents to false preconceptions and limit their ability to practice patient- and family-centered care (PFCC). The core principles of PFCC include acknowledging patient and family expertise and strengths, encouraging their input, and appreciating the value of their observations and perceptions.
Objective: To explore how a home visit program with patients and families serving as faculty could instill the …

Posters
Background: Sleep-related infant deaths (e.g., SIDS, accidental suffocation, undetermined) are the leading cause of postneonatal mortality. Infants from low income families have higher rates of sleep-related deaths. Other risk factors for sleep-related death include nonsupine sleep position, bedsharing, maternal smoking, sleeping in separate room, soft bedding, and breastfeeding <8 weeks. Little is known about how these risk factors vary by income or if psychosocial stressors, social services, and education of parents from healthcare providers about risk factors influence these risks among low income families.
Objective: Aim 1: Describe differences in risk factors for sleep-related infant death by family income. Aim 2: Among low income families, describe differences in risk factors by psychosocial stressors, services, and risk-factor education.

A Deleterious Ephb4 Mutation Suppresses Prox1 Expression And Disrupts Lymphatic Development In Neonatal Non-Immune Hydrops, Gangaram Akangire, Heather Menden, Sheng Xia, Atif Ahmed, Venkatesh Sampath
Posters
Background: Non-immune hydrops fetalis is often a fatal condition and in 20% of cases related to lymphatic anomalies. Maldevelopment of lymphatic valves, atretic or absence of central lymphatic vessels has been described in hydrops fetalis, but the genetic basis of these anomalies remains undefined. Recent reports suggest that Ephrin type B receptor 4 (EPHB4) gene has a significant role in embryonic development of lymphatic system. To test the hypothesis that EPHB4 mutations can cause hydrops fetalis, we combined whole exome sequencing (WES) with functional and pathological analysis of an infant who succumbed to neonatal hydrops.
Objective: To discover the possible …

Background: Medical neglect has significant consequences on child health and well-being. Improved processes for defining, recognizing, and reporting medical neglect are needed, however there is limited published data on the subject. Insight into patient characteristics and current reporting practices will help identify areas for intervention to improve outcomes for children at risk for medical neglect.
Objective: To describe characteristics of children identified for concern of medical neglect and trends in reporting of cases to child protective services (CPS).
Design/Methods: We performed a 1-year retrospective descriptive study of subjects < 18 years of age at a single, tertiary-care, academic pediatric institution for whom a Patient at Risk (PAR) assessment was completed exclusively for the concern of medical neglect. The PAR is a unique institutional process by which health professionals and social workers document concerns for child maltreatment. Medical records were reviewed for data regarding demographics, medical history, health care utilization and psychosocial risk factors. The role of the initiating provider and healthcare setting in which the PAR was recorded were also obtained.
Results: Of 270 children with a PAR completed for medical neglect concerns, …

Routine surveillance cultures are an essential part of health maintenance for people with cystic fibrosis (CF). The Cystic Fibrosis Foundations (CFF) recommends that respiratory cultures be obtained every three months. The CF Care Center at Children’s Mercy Kansas City (CMKC) also obtains respiratory cultures when there is an acute change in respiratory symptoms. The COVID-29 pandemic resulted in ambulatory clinic closures and an inability to obtain surveillance respiratory cultures. A creative solution for obtaining respiratory cultures was needed during the pandemic.
