Filter by:Enabling school-age children to evaluate the care they receive provides feedback on the quality of care by determining children's satisfaction with care, and gives important feedback on the quantity and quality of care. Evaluation of nursing care, emotions and behaviors from the perspective of children during the Covid-19 pandemic process will guide the improvement of the quality of care. As a result of the literature review on this subject, no research has been found, and it is thought that this research will contribute to the field. This research was conducted to evaluate nursing care and emotions from the perspective of hospitalized children during the Covid-19 pandemic process.
The general purpose of this project; "Physical Activity and Recreation School" for the evaluation of physical activity behaviors of individuals with physical disabilities between the ages of 6-18, to increase the level of knowledge and awareness of these individuals and their parents, and to enable individuals with special needs to experience sports activities in the company of health and sports professionals who are experts in their fields. is to arrange. This project consists of three main topics as evaluation, training and experimentation. During the evaluation phase, interactive roundtable activity, valid and reliable scales and physical assessments, and barriers and motivators for physical activity participation of individuals with special needs will be evaluated. A comprehensive interactive training seminar on physical activity will be held for individuals with special needs and parents during the training phase. In the experimentation phase, children and adolescents with special needs will participate in training programs that include exercise and sportive activities suitable for the determined physical activity barriers and motivators, and will have the opportunity to experience exercises and sportive activities that they have not experienced before. The results of this project will provide gains in the analysis and application of physical inactivity, which is seen as an important public health problem in our country, for individuals with special needs, and will also guide many relevant institutions, health professionals and educators.
During general anesthesia, objective monitoring for analgesia is still lacking. The administration of opioids relies on the experience of the anesthesiologist. There are some monitors, e.g., Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI), showing that they can evaluate analgesia in adults. Recently, a Newborn Infant Parasympathetic Evaluation (NIPE) monitor was released for assessing analgesia in children with age less than 2 years. The investigators aim to assess the efficacy of NIPE as a guide for intraoperative fentanyl administration in children under 2 years.
Purpose: To determine the effect of 8-week kids yoga training on balance, reaction time and agility on children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: A randomized controlled trial. The intervention (kids yoga) was an 8-week program administered to children attending a special education center by a yoga instructor occupational therapist. Outcomes included Pediatric Balance Scale, Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-Short Form, and Microgate Witty SEM System assessed at baseline and at the end of 8th week.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to examine fruit and vegetable consumption in preschoolers following a nutrition education curriculum. The main questions it aims to answer is: 1. Is this intervention consisting of nutrition education and taste-test activities able to improve fruit and vegetable consumption in preschoolers during their usual lunch meal? 2. Is the improvement of fruit and vegetable consumption sustained for at least 6 weeks after completion of the intervention? Participants in the intervention classroom will partake in 3 nutrition education sessions per week during the 6-week-long curriculum. Researchers will compare this to changes in fruit and vegetable intake of the children in the control classroom, who will undergo identical measurements, but will not participate in the curriculum.
Caudal block (CB) has been the method used for years to achieve adequate postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients, which is one of the main responsibilities of an anesthetist. CB, which has been proven to provide effective analgesia for many different indications, is the most commonly performed neuraxial block technique for postoperative pain control in urogenital surgeries. However, in the following years, truncal nerve blocks are recommended for postoperative analgesia by the literature both for more effective analgesia and for preventing complications of CB that may prevent early mobilization and prolong hospital discharge
During induction of general anaesthesia physiological breathing stops and needs to be artificially established with facemask ventilation, and finally tracheal intubation or placement of a supraglottic airway. During the airway management, when lungs are not or only poorly ventilated, there is a risk for atelectasis. These atelectasis can contribute to respiratory adverse events (e.g. pulmonary infection or respiratory insufficiency) during or after general anaesthesia. High-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) is the administration of heated, humidified and blended air/oxygen mixture via a nasal cannula at rates ≥ 2 L/kg/min. HFNO used during airway management (i.e. intubation) can extend the tolerance for apnea, the time from end of physiological breathing until artificial ventilation is established. The main objective of this study is thus to investigate the variations of poorly ventilated lung units (i.e., silent spaces) as a surrogate for functional residual capacity measured by electrical impedance tomography to dynamically assess atelectasis formation and regression under apnoeic oxygenation with different flow rates.
Background and Aim: Pulmonary aspiration of gastric content is a serious perioperative complication. What is known about the pediatric patient's fasting time is usually based on parental history alone, but in some situation there may be doubts about an empty stomach in young children. Ultrasound examination of the gastric antrum is increasingly used and is emerging as a valuable perioperative noninvasive tool for the indirect assessment of gastric volumes in children. The objective of this prospective study was to assess the relationship between the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the antrum measured by gastric ultrasound and gastric volumes suctioned endoscopically, also to determine the best cut-off value of CSA for empty antrum in the pediatric population less than 24 months of age.
In this study the investigators will evaluate the long-term renal function in children treated with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) due to acute kidney injury (AKI) and multiple organ failure (MOF) in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). These children are not always referred for nephrology follow up after their ICU stay and it is unclear to what extent the patients suffer from chronic renal disease. The primary aim is to establish the frequency of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in children treated with CRRT due to AKI. Secondary outcomes will include mortality, frequency of end stage-renal disease (ESRD) and need for hemodialysis and/or renal transplantation.
Little is known about cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction occuring in children treated by anticancer drugs for malignancies. Here the investigators use VigiBase (http://www.vigiaccess.org/), the World Health Organization (WHO) database of individual safety case reports, to identify and describe cases of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction associated with anticancer drugs.
