Filter by:Compared with adults, children have higher metabolic needs, and the airway is more likely to collapse. Before tracheal intubation after anesthesia induction, the patient 's spontaneous breathing completely disappears. At this critical stage, the residual oxygen of the lung is consumed, resulting in hypoxemia and atelectasis. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the best oxygenation strategy during intubation. In addition, ultrasound has become a common equipment in the operating room. It has the advantages of portability, repeatability, and no radiation, and can provide strong support for the diagnosis of gastric distension.
With the implementation of China's two-child policy and a marked increase in adverse pregnancy outcomes, leveraging electronic health records (EHR) to enhance maternal and child healthcare and outcomes in China has emerged as a novel strategy to tackle this pivotal demographic and health challenge. Given the mature construction of the information platform and the well-established maternal and child health service system in Ningbo, this study utilized the Ningbo Maternal and Child Health Electronic Monitoring Information Management System and the Ningbo Regional Health Information Platform to conduct the Ningbo maternity-child linked database study (MATCHLESS), which involved over 300,000 mother-child pairs in China. MATCHLESS not only allows for longitudinal follow-up of pregnant women and their offspring but also expands its scope from prenatal exposure to long-term outcomes through data linkage. The longitudinal scope of MATCHLESS facilitates the elucidation of the relationship and etiological significance of early-life exposures and adverse pregnancy outcomes. It also permits the exploration of the health trajectory of women and children over their life-course. During the past 5 years (October 2016 to December 2021), a substantial amount of maternal and child health data has been recorded in MATCHLESS, including socio-demographics, health care services and medications, as well as clinical outcome events. Additionally, it contains longitudinal measurements on risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes, which provides a robust foundation for future real-world studies of dynamic predictive models. This study was approved by the Ethics Review Committee of the Ningbo University Health Science Center. Considering the safety, privacy, and confidentiality concerns surrounding the storage and processing of personal EHR data, the responsibility for data storage and management is undertaken by the Health Commission of Ningbo. Researchers are required to submit applications to the local health department, and all studies undergo ethical review and research registration procedures to access EHR data for health research purposes.
A cross-sectional study representative of the Polish population of children aged 5 months to 6 years conducted in the cross-sectional study model, the main objective of which is to assess the nutritional value of the diet of children aged from 5 months to 6 years with regard to the basic macronutrients: protein (P), fat (F), carbohydrates (C). The study will include: dietary interviews, which will include the Food Frequency Questionnaire questionnaire (FFQ) and a 3-day food diary, as well as anthropometric measurements. The study will involve 1,000 children who will be selected by a random draw based on government database. The survey will be conducted by trained field interviewers - training will be provided by a dietician and an anthropologist. The study also included validation of the FFQ questionnaire.
Hypospadias is among the most common congenital genital malformations in boys and is typically treated through surgical intervention. During pediatric urological surgery, caudal anesthesia, also known as a caudal block, is frequently employed as a regional anesthetic technique. It has proven to be a safe and effective anesthetic approach in children, with a low rate of anesthesia-related complications. However, despite the low incidence of complications directly associated with the caudal block, there is limited and inconclusive evidence regarding its impact on surgical complications. Therefore, this randomized controlled superiority trial aims to evaluate whether the use of caudal anesthesia, compared to the dorsal penile block, is associated with an increased incidence of urethrocutaneous fistulas and glans dehiscence following hypospadias repair.
The objective of the research is to compare the written voiding diary method to the smart-phone diary, DryDawn®, which the investigators selected among several applications using specific criteria appropriate to our population. The investigators aim is to describe the method that proves to be most efficient by assessing which diary provides the best quality and amount of information, and draws the highest level of satisfaction from participants. Patient satisfaction will be assessed using a questionnaire that was designed for use in this study.
The aim of this prospective study is to investigate whether the anxiety levels of parents of children aged 2-6 years who will undergo inguinal area surgery have an effect on the child's preoperative anxiety level and postoperative pain level.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare tele-rehabilitation and routine post-discharge rehabilitation in children with burn injuries. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is tele-rehabilitation better for improving the quality and outcomes of care for burn children? - Is tele-rehabilitation more effective in improving scar management in children with burns injuries? - Is tele-rehabilitation more effective in improving perceived stress in parents of children with burns injuries?
The investigator will evaluate the efficacy of M3©, an intervention for patients with JIA and their caregivers. Children with Juvenile arthritis and their parents will attend an 8 week online program called Making Mindfulness Matter (M3). This is a facilitator-led program that integrates knowledge and skills related to mindfulness, social-emotional learning, neuroscience, and positive psychology to promote coping and resiliency for children and families in context of the challenges of pediatric chronic disease. The child program is designed for children 4-12 years of age, with each lesson including a variety of concrete ways to teach children skills based on their age/developmental level.
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 . The investigators 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.
The aim of the study is to determine the effect of therapeutic touch on functional constipation in infants and young children.
