This content is part of the 13th Annual Pediatric Surgery Update Course.

Explore the critical question of pediatric ECPR candidacy with Dr. Juan Gurria from Cincinnati Children's and Dr. David Rothstein from Seattle Children's Hospital. This video defines ECPR as extra corporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation, highlighting its role as a temporary heart and lung support (ECMO) to treat reversible causes of cardiac arrest. Learn about key considerations for patient selection, including likelihood of recovery, underlying disease treatability, resource allocation, and long-term follow-up.

This educational video provides a comprehensive overview of craniosynostosis, detailing the anatomy of infant skull sutures and their role in brain growth. Dr. Jesse Skoch, a Pediatric Neurosurgeon at Cincinnati Children's, explains Virchow's Law, distinguishing between different types of premature suture fusion and their impact on head shape. The video also covers diagnostic methods, including the importance of physical examination and 3D CT scans, as well as considerations for surgical timing and risk of elevated intracranial pressure.

This video, featuring Dr. Juan Gurria from Cincinnati Children's, discusses surgical interventions for chronic pancreatitis in children. It covers indications for surgery, various treatment options like drainage and resection, and the complex considerations for genetic and hereditary forms of the disease. A key focus is on Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Auto-Transplant (TPIAT), including its procedure, benefits in pain and opioid reduction, and management of potential complications like gastroparesis and thrombosis.
