How many years of college do you need to become a pediatric neurosurgeon?

The common path to practicing as a physician requires 8 years of education beyond high school and 3 to 8 additional years of internship and residency. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. Education and training. Formal education and training requirements for physicians are among the most demanding of any occupation-4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 years rather than the customary 8 years. Premedical students must complete undergraduate work in physics, biology, mathematics, English, and inorganic and organic chemistry. Students also take courses in the humanities and the social sciences. Some students volunteer at local hospitals or clinics to gain practical experience in the health professions. The minimum educational requirement for entry into medical school is 3 years of college; most applicants, however, have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees. There are 146 medical schools in the United States-126 teach allopathic medicine and award a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree; 20 teach osteopathic medicine and award the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree. Acceptance to medical school is highly competitive. Applicants must submit transcripts, scores from the Medical College Admission Test, and letters of recommendation. Schools also consider an applicant's character, personality, leadership qualities, and participation in extracurricular activities. Most schools require an interview with members of the admissions committee. Students spend most of the first 2 years of medical school in laboratories and classrooms, taking courses such as anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, microbiology, pathology, medical ethics, and laws governing medicine. They also learn to take medical histories, examine patients, and diagnose illnesses. During their last 2 years, students work with patients under the supervision of experienced physicians in hospitals and clinics, learning acute, chronic, preventive, and rehabilitative care. Through rotations in internal medicine, family practice, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, they gain experience in the diagnosis and treatment of illness. Following medical school, almost all M.D.s enter a residency-graduate medical education in a specialty that takes the form of paid on-the-job training, usually in a hospital. Most D.O.s serve a 12-month rotating internship after graduation and before entering a residency, which may last 2 to 6 years. A physician's training is costly. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, in 2004 more than 80 percent of medical school graduates were in debt for educational expenses. Licensure and certification. All States, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories license physicians. To be licensed, physicians must graduate from an accredited medical school, pass a licensing examination, and complete 1 to 7 years of graduate medical education. Although physicians licensed in one State usually can get a license to practice in another without further examination, some States limit reciprocity. Graduates of foreign medical schools generally can qualify for licensure after passing an examination and completing a U.S. residency. M.D.s and D.O.s seeking board certification in a specialty may spend up to 7 years in residency training, depending on the specialty. A final examination immediately after residency or after 1 or 2 years of practice also is necessary for certification by a member board of the American Board of Medical Specialists (ABMS) or the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). The ABMS represents 24 boards related to medical specialties ranging from allergy and immunology to urology. The AOA has approved 18 specialty boards, ranging from anesthesiology to surgery. For certification in a subspecialty, physicians usually need another 1 to 2 years of residency. Other qualifications. People who wish to become physicians must have a desire to serve patients, be self-motivated, and be able to survive the pressures and long hours of medical education and practice. Physicians also must have a good bedside manner, emotional stability, and the ability to make decisions in emergencies. Prospective physicians must be willing to study throughout their career to keep up with medical advances. Advancement. Some physicians and surgeons advance by gaining expertise in specialties and subspecialties and by developing a reputation for excellence among their peers and patients. Many physicians and surgeons start their own practice or join a group practice. Others teach residents and other new doctors, and some advance to supervisory and managerial roles in hospitals, clinics, and other settings.

Why shouldn't you use a pop-off valve for a pediatric Bag Valve Mask?

You should! Positive pressure ventilation is a poor substitute for normal respiration, even after an ET tube is placed, and with high flow 02 at 15LPM.

However, good basic BVM skills can save a patient and bad technique can sabotage a resuscitation. The Pop-off, or pressure relief valve, is present on all pediatric, and some adult BVMs. There is usually a disabling feature, often a bypass clip. The valve is included to ameliorate volutrauma and barotrauma when rescuers squeeze the bag too fast and forcefully. Unfortunately, other than routine intra-operative use in anesthetized apneic patients; when the patient ventilates easily with no resistance, the reasons we bag usually involve some measure of airway compromise, trauma, acute asthma, airway obstruction, pulmonary edema, etc. and there is always adrenaline in terms of the rescuer performing the skill. It's easy to get carried away and use far too much force and volume. If the rate is too rapid this stacks breaths, which results in gastric insufflation even with excellent mask seal and airway patency.

So to address your question; The pop-off valve is there to prevent some of the above. However, in some cases the pressure needed to ventilate adequately can exceed the pop-off pressure. When this happens with each ventilation, it becomes difficult to assess compliance and maintain consistant 'breaths'. In such cases, adjust the rate and volume. Lower volumes(400-600 mls or 'until adequate chest rise is observed') delivered over at least one second at a slightly faster rate of 12-15/min can reduce airway resistance. If the pop-off valve still triggers, disabling it can be lifesaving. For instance, it is often impossible to ventilate an apneic newborn without disabling the valve. Neonatal lungs may still be filled with amniotic fluid necessitating higher INITIAL ventilatory pressure than the 45cm/H20 the pop-off valve is set at...so using tiny volumes, visualizing chest rise, and maintaining a faster rate(40-60), a rescuer can feel the lung compliance improve as the fluid is displaced, and the airway pressures normalize.

One problem with disabling any safety feature is that the device is no longer 'safe'. So if a patient has a pneumothorax or major airway obstruction which is triggering the pop-off valve, once disabled, the increased ventilatory pressure can, and has, proved fatal. With field intubations, a triggering valve can be a valuable tool, alerting you to tube displacement, or a kink in the circuit.

The most important thing to remember about bagging is that it depends almost entirely on operator skill. Positioning of the head(sniffing), placing an OPA or NPA, suctioning, ensuring an inspiratory/expiratory rate of 1:2 can improve the quality of ventilations dramatically. Attention to airway patency, mask seal, chest rise, and optimal rate is key. It's a dynamic process, and the pop-off valve is just one component. Hope this answers your question.

What contributions to society has pediatrics made?

Pediatrics is the practice of medicine involving children. It has help to prevent and eliminate many childhood disorders that can effect children into adulthood.

What are the AAP recommendations for admitting patients to pediatric wards?

The AAP is a political body, not a governing body. In fact, not all pediatricians are members of the AAP, and the AAP does not have recommendations for admitting patients to hospitals.

The decision to admit a patient to a hospital lies with the attending physician and mainly involves one question: Does the patient need a treatment or monitoring that cannot be done at home? That might be intravenous (iv) fluids or oxygen, as the most common admission diagnoses are dehydration and respiratory diseases.

What is the route and dose of naloxone for an intubated pediatric pt?

Naloxone (Narcan) can be given three ways. Intra-nasally or by intravenous or Intra-muscular injection. If given through the nasal cavity, the dosage is 2 mg at a concentration of 1mg/mL. 1 mg in one nare, and the 2nd mg through the other nare. It should be given in a syringe with a M.A.D. device connected at the end where the needle would normally go. When administered it needs to be pushed through at a fast rate when using the M.A.D device. It can also be given through an IM injection the exact same way except using a needle and administering it at a slower rate. The full dose can be given in one single injection in the same extremity. Check your concentration because it may be .4mg/mL which will have to be calculated differently.

What work experience would help you become a pediatric surgeon?

Before work experience you need formal medical training and to pass all the medical exams. Once you have done this you then work in hospitals as part of a surgical team to gain experience.
