Filter by:In our study, the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature babies will be examined. The number of patients to participate in the study was determined as 30. Appropriate babies will be determined and divided into 2 groups by drawing lots. After recording the demographic information of the babies who meet the inclusion criteria, the Baby Motor Performance Test (TIMP) and the baby's motor performance evaluation consisting of postural control and selective extremity movements, and the stress level of the babies will be evaluated by looking at cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) hormones. In addition, Field baby massage will be given to the application group. It is seen that there are limited studies in the literature on the effect of infant massage applied in the intensive care unit on motor performance and stress hormones in premature infants. The results of this research will provide useful information for premature babies hospitalized in intensive care.
This prospective, international, multicenter observational study will include hospitals performing pediatric surgery in participating Latin American countries. We aim to assess the incidence of hospital postoperative complications in pediatric surgical patients < 18-years-old in Latin America. We will recruit all consecutive pediatric patients under the age of 18 years who were admitted to participating hospitals undergoing elective and nonelective surgery. The primary outcome is in-hospital postoperative complications up to 30 days after surgery.
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate the performance of three pulse oximeters during outpatient care within Cape Town, South Africa. This objective will be achieved through generating evidence on how, why, for whom, to what extent and at what cost can paediatric pulse oximetry devices improve the management of hypoxemic children. This will be done with two inter-linked studies: - Aim 1: Determine the impact of two novel paediatric pulse oximeter devices on the correct management of hypoxaemia. If the investigators find these devices improve healthcare worker assessments and decision making, it could improve clinical outcomes for children in low-resource contexts. - Aim 2: Describe the burden of hypoxaemia and risks for mortality amongst children presenting with acute respiratory infections in a low-resource setting in Cape Town. By establishing the burden and need, a clearer investment case for pulse oximetry can be made for this context.
This study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether EEG-guided calibration of inhalation agents can reduce occurrence of EEG discontinuity in infants during general anesthesia.
Purpose: To investigate the growth and development status for children of 1 ~ 3 years old in China, and to explore and analyze the influencing factors of infant growth. Mother's health status would also be investigated simultaneously. Methods and analysis: This is a multicenter prospective cohort study. Participants were all from the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study (CPWCS), which is a multicenter prospective cohort study we conducted before. In simple terms, pregnant women during the first trimester (5~13 weeks' gestational age) were included from 25 July 2017 to 26 November 2018. Related information were collected by electronic self-administered questionnaire, including general information, environmental exposure assessment, physical activity assessment, dietary and nutritional assessment, depression assessment, sleep quality assessment and economic burden assessment. Subsequently, objective medical information, obstetric and neonatal outcomes were collected through hospital information system (HIS). To further assess the mothers' and infants' health status, a new multicenter prospective cohort study, including more than 1000 participants of the CPWCS from 5 hospitals of 5 different provinces in China, will be conducted. Through the electronic self-administered questionnaire surveys and laboratory testing methods, information about infants' feeding, sleeping, defecating, oral health, early development and common allergic diseases will be collected. And we will also assess mothers' current health habits and status, such as sleeping, diet, anxiety, physical activity, and oral health. SAS statistical software will be used for data analysis. Ethics and Dissemination Permission for the study was obtained from Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College. Ethics approval was obtained from the Ethics Review Committee of Department of Scientific Research, School of Basic Medicine, Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China. The results will be published in peer-reviewed journals or disseminated through conference presentations.
