Insights

The COVID-19 pandemic boosted pediatric teledermatology use, but unique patient needs present challenges. Further evolution is needed to optimize teledermatology for pediatric skin conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Health Informatics
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly accelerated the adoption of teledermatology services for pediatric patients.
  • Pediatric teledermatology faces unique challenges compared to adult services due to specific patient characteristics, impacting its feasibility and community uptake.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of pediatric teledermatology.
  • To analyze trends from pre-pandemic to post-pandemic eras.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review approach was employed.
  • Searched major databases (MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase) for English articles published between December 1, 2019, and April 1, 2022.

Main Results:

  • Twenty-two publications met the inclusion criteria for the review.
  • Identified trends in the increasing use and challenges of pediatric teledermatology.

Conclusions:

  • Teledermatology is poised to become increasingly integral in managing pediatric dermatological conditions.
  • A shift in perspective is required to broaden the range of conditions suitable for pediatric teledermatology.

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings II: Doffing

The sequence of removing or doffing PPE starts with the gloves, as they are the most contaminated. Next is removal of the face shield or goggles, as they would interfere with removing other PPE. Then remove the gown, followed by the mask or respirator. Perform hand hygiene between steps if hands become contaminated and immediately after removing all PPE. Generally, the outside front and sleeves of the isolation gown, the goggles or the mask, the respirator, and the face shield are contaminated.
