Introduction
Pulmonary hemorrhage is an uncommon event in infants. It has been described most commonly in the sick premature neonate, older child, or adolescent with chronic cardiopulmonary disease. Acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage in previously healthy infants has, to our knowledge, been reported only rarely. During the past 5 years we have successfully treated 4 infants with sever respiratory failure secondary to acute idiopathic pulmonary hemorrhage. Two of these patients were managed with the conventional therapy of mechanical ventilation, while the other two were successfully managed with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) after failure of conventional mechanical ventilation. In this report we review the current literature on this unusual pediatric problem and describe the use of ECMO as a modality in supporting patients after an acute pulmonary hemorrhage.

OBJECTIVE: Needs assessment is a critical part of the design and implementation of telehealth projects. This study assessed the need for a telehealth link between a local community and a tertiary-care medical center. METHODS: The assessment was conducted using multiple focus groups in a remote community and at a tertiary-care pediatric and women's medical center. Participants were physicians and allied health professionals at both sites and the parents of pediatric patients. Data were analyzed for comment categories and thematic items. RESULTS: The focus groups revealed a number of important positive and negative attitudes regarding telehealth and priorities for implementation. Uncertainty and trust were two themes that emerged from all groups. The resulting design of the telehealth program incorporated these responses. CONCLUSION: Qualitative methods, including focus groups, can yield useful data on complex behavior and explore attitudes toward new and unfamiliar technology.
