Charting Pediatrics

On this episode we are going to talk with Jenny Reese, MD about practical approaches to self-care and resiliency as we continue to move through this pandemic.

Societal interruptions at every turn. Working remotely. Virtual school. Financial and health uncertainties. Massive disruptions to the delivery of healthcare, including impacted volumes and private practice business. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on every aspect of our lives is apparent. As providers who have uniquely felt the impacts of these changes because of our profession, it is imperative to take time to consider our own resiliency.

Dr. Reese is the Section Head of Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Children's Colorado and is Associate Professor of Clinical Practice and Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Just before the COVID-19 pandemic we were witnessing a fast-growing and new epidemic for pediatricians --the association between teen vaping and acute lung injury. It is not surprising that a recent study by researchers at Stanford University has shown a link between vaping and a substantially increased risk of COIVD-19 among teenagers and young adults. Today we are going to revisit the topic of EVALI – E-Cigarette or Vaping Associated Lung Injury – and the impact and of COVID-19 on teens who vape with Robin Deterding, MD.

Dr. Deterding is the Chief of Pulmonary Medicine at Children's Colorado and is Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

As countries in the Southern Hemisphere move through what would normally be their influenza season, early data indicates that efforts to stop COVID-19 have all but eliminated the typical viral spread of flu in those communities. These early behaviors have providers in the Americas speculating if influenza will take a similarly mild course, while others warn of a "Twindemic" dual impact of COVID-19 and influenza. In this our 21st COVID-19 podcast, we will delve into the latest epidemiology of the pandemic, how pediatricians might think about the approaching flu season and what testing to order.

Today we are fortunate to be joined once again by un-official Charting Pediatrics co-host, Dr. Sam Dominguez. Sam is a pediatric infectious diseases physician at Children's Hospital Colorado and Professor of Pediatrics and Infectious Diseases at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Drowning is quick and silent.

It is also the single-leading cause of death among children aged 1-4 and is a top cause death among teens. As pediatricians, we offer an important voice to help educate our parents, patients and community about how to keep kids safe in and around the water. Recently two of our pediatric residents, Dr. Laura Bricklin and Dr. Emma Harding, were awarded a CATCH grant for drowning prevention and are joining us today to review important water safety information for bathtubs, pools and open water.

Countries around the world are racing to develop a vaccine to end the COVID-19 global pandemic. In the United States, Operation Warp Speed – led by the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Defense -- involves almost $11 billion funding to seven different companies to develop vaccines. Three of these companies – Monderna, AstraZeneca and Pfizer – are in late stage trials. Today on Charting Pediatrics we are joined by Sean O'Leary, MD to talk about these accelerated efforts and what role a vaccine would play in pediatrics.

Today we are joined by returning guest Dr. Sean O'Leary, an Infectious Disease physician at Children's Colorado and Director of the Colorado Pediatric Practice-Based Research Network. Sean is also a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics – if you have seen any major media coverage on the return to school, you have probably seen Sean quoted.

The topic of face masks or face coverings use and their efficacy has rapidly morphed into one of the most divisive topics in American culture. Mandated by many government bodies in the US and around the globe, these face coverings have been encouraged to slow the spread of COVID-19. We have heard from many of you, our listeners, that parents are asking for anticipatory guidance around mask wearing and their children, particularly chronic asthmatics. In this our 18th COVID-19 podcast, we will discuss the AAP guidance around pediatric patients and face coverings, considerations for asthmatic patients and how these fit in with the return to school.

In this episode we are joined by returning guest Monica Federico, MD, Medical Director of the Clinical Alignment and Asthma Programs at Children's Colorado and Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

When most of us were going through medical training the word podcast had still yet to be uttered. A mash-up of broadcast and ipod, the word was first introduced in 2004. But by 2020 the podcast platform has developed into an essential tool for dissemination of information amongst humans. Now we can get information on any conceivable topic and it seems inevitable that this will transform all continuing education, including medical education. We know that in pediatrics we still need trusted resources and in that spirit, today we are excited to introduce you to a new podcast on the block that you need to be aware of, AAP's new Pediatrics On Call Podcast, we're going to talk to its co-hosts and discuss the future of CME and learning for pediatricians.

Today we are pleased to be joined by Joanna Parga-Belinkie, MD and David Hill, MD, co-hosts of the AAP's new podcast, Pediatrics On Call.

Joanna is assistant professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania and a pediatrician at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She co-created the podcast Baby Doctor Mamas as her first foray into podcasting and has been a contributor and writer for many news outlets including The New York Times, NPR and NBC News.

David is a pediatrician at Goldsboro Pediatrics in Wayne County, North Carolina, where he practices both hospitalist pediatrics and outpatient pediatrics. He is an adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. He has written and commentated for NPR's All Things Considered, is a frequent contributor to Parents Magazine and author of several books.
