Tuesday’s Spoon Feed : In this cohort of trauma patients requiring intubation, video laryngoscopy was associated with higher first-pass success, while head, face, or neck trauma was associated with lower success. Adverse events were more common with less experienced residents and greater injury severity. Thursday’s Spoon Feed : No single symptom or exam finding definitively diagnoses pediatric concussion, but mental fog, light/noise sensitivity, nausea, and oculomotor abnormalities meaningfully increase likelihood, while absence of headache decreases it.
