Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the airway management effects of flexible reinforced laryngeal mask and endotracheal tube in childhood adenotonsillectomy. Participants will be randomly allocated to two groups: endotracheal tube group (ETT) and flexible reinforced laryngeal mask group (FLMA). For those in ETT group: they will be intubated after induction of anesthesia .For those in FLMA group: they will be put in flexible reinforced laryngeal mask after induction of anesthesia . we will compare FLMA with ETT to see if flexible reinforced laryngeal mask can be used safely and effectively in childhood adenotonsillectomy，and if there will be less severe adverse events in FLMA.
Statement of the problem: •Is there an effect of the cough assist device on Hemodynamic status and oxygen saturation for ventilated children? Null hypothesis There will be no effect of cough assist device on hemodynamic status and oxygen saturation for ventilated children.
Introduction: Kinesiophobia is a common symptom associated with high levels of disability and has also been observed in patients with headache. However, the relationship between kinesiophobia and clinical factors in this population is unknown. Objective: We aimed to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and fear of falling, quality of life, and physical activity in children with headache. Methods: We included 127 children aged 6-18 years with headache complaints in our study. The Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) was used to assess kinesiophobia, the International Falls Efficacy Scale (IFSES) was used to assess fear of falling, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)- short form was used to measure physical activity, and the Quality of Life Scale for Children (QOLS) was used to assess quality of life. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to assess pain intensity.
During COVID-19 panic, we examined if educational digital video disk can reduce maternal uncertainty, anxiety and depression if their children undergo congenital heart disease surgery and when surgical or post-surgical complications occur. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more after education, and until the day of discharge. Compared to only routine education, adding digital video disk could decrease mothers' uncertainty and anxiety more on the discharge day if their child had surgical or post-surgical complications.
Sickle cell disease is the most common inherited genetic disorder, accounting for 300,000 births worldwide per year. It is caused by an autosomal recessive mutation of the β-globin gene, responsible for an abnormal hemoglobin, the main protein in red blood cells, responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. The abnormal hemoglobin, known as "Sickle" or S, deforms the red blood cell, causing chronic hemolytic anemia, organ damage (heart, spleen, etc.) and vaso-occlusive crises. Therapeutic progress and specialised patient follow-up have considerably improved the vital and functional prognosis of children and adolescents with sickle cell disease. Physical fitness, measured during a cardiorespiratory exercise test (CPET), is used to determine maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max). Patients with sickle cell disease have a multifactorial limitation of exercise tolerance, which may affect their physical fitness. Authors have shown that VO2max is impaired in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease, independently of their baseline hemoglobin level. Yet VO2max is a key determinant of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients being monitored for a chronic disease. In the past, our team has contributed to the assessment of HRQoL in several groups of pediatric patients suffering from chronic disease (congenital heart disease, PAH). To date, the link between impaired physical fitness and HRQoL has not been demonstrated in sickle cell children. The pathophysiological determinants of reduced physical capacity and exercise tolerance in sickle cell patients have also not been fully elucidated. Studying these factors will enable us to propose appropriate treatment in the future, with the aim of improving physical fitness and HRQoL in children and adolescents with sickle cell disease.
To assess the efficacy and safety of the use of probiotics as food supplements in reducing the SCORAD index in children with atopic skin compared with placebo. This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial with 2 parallel groups, which will include 32 patients who attend some of the research centers. Patients will be randomized into one of the 2 study groups (allocation ratio 1: 1): Experimental group (Lactobacillus rhamnosus LRa05) and placebo group (placebo). The reduction of the SCORAD index, the number of sprouts in 12 weeks, the days of use of topical corticosteroids and one valuations of the skin condition (hydration).
Statement of the problem: • Does the thoracic block technique has effect on arterial blood gases, vital signs and lung compliance in children with atelectasis on mechanical ventilation? Null hyposis there is no effect of thoracic block technique on arterial blood gases, vital signs and lung compliance in children with atelectasis on mechanical ventilation.
The aim of the randomized controlled study is to examine the effects of ShotBlocker, finger puppet and balloon inflation methods applied during intramuscular injection procedure on children's pain and fear level.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 50 million people have epilepsy. Among them, nearly 80% of epileptic patients live in developing countries and 75% of them do not have access to treatment. The ketogenic diet (KD) has been shown as an effective alternative for patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Although it has been studied by few studies in Asia, no such studies have been conducted in Vietnam. The purpose of this study was to verify the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of the KD in children with refractory epilepsies followed at a pediatric center in South Vietnam.
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of the preoperative education given to the parents of the children who will undergo day surgery on the parents' perception of family-centered care and anxiety. It is a randomized controlled trial. In this parallel group study, intervention group and control group will take place. The research will be carried out in the pediatric surgery service of the Selcuk University Medical Faculty Hospital. A total of 60 parents, including the intervention group (n=30) and the control group (n=30), will be included in the study. Parents to be included in the study will be assigned to intervention and control groups by randomization method. The randomization will be hidden from the researcher conducting the trial until the administration begins. The researcher will be given 60 envelopes and will begin to open the envelopes when he meets the parent. The researcher will learn which group each parent is in just before the application. Data collection tools; information form, state anxiety scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale. During the data collection phase, the purpose of the research will be explained to the parents by the researcher, information about the study will be given and consent will be obtained from the parents who agreed to participate in the research through the "Informed Voluntary Consent Form". A brochure prepared in line with the literature and the training given in the hospital will be given to the initiative group and verbal information will be given. On the other hand, only verbal information will be given to the control group, which is done in the hospital routine. The contents of the brochure include Preparation at Home 1 Day Before the Day of Surgery, Preparation at the Hospital on the Day of Surgery, and Home Care After the Surgery. Brochure and information will be given to the intervention group in the polyclinic one day before the surgery. Information Form, State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Evaluation Scale will be filled in the polyclinic. The Information Form will be filled with the information obtained from the parents and the patient file. State Anxiety Scale and Family Centered Care Assessment Scale will be filled during discharge. Data will be analyzed with the IBM SPSS 22 (IBM Corporation, New York, NY) program. Partial eta squared will be calculated for the effect size and the significance level will be accepted as p<0.05.
