Filter by:Croup is a common childhood respiratory disease that often leads to frequent emergency department visits. It is a viral infection that causes cough, throat, and airway swelling, making breathing difficult. Dexamethasone is a medication that helps to reduce swelling, making breathing easier for children. A standard dose of 0.6mg/kg is used in children. However, a lower amount (due to side effects of steroids in children) has been suggested. We will examine whether 25% less than the standard dose is equally effective in treating croup. Investigators will conduct a clinical study with the support of patients with lived experience (which, in this case, are the parents of the children) to better care for children with croup. If proven, this study can improve the outcome in children with croup.
This observational study aims to learn more about complicated infections treated by otorhinolaryngologists. The main questions to answer are: - What is the management of complicated sinonasal infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia, - What is the management of complicated ear and temporal bone infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia, - What is the management of complicated neck soft tissue infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia, - What is the management of complicated laryngeal infections in Ljubljana, Slovenia Participants will receive standard treatment according to the established evidence-based clinical practice.
Most efficient system for airways controll during general anesthesia is oro-tracheal intubation, in order to allow mechanical ventilation and bronchial suction and to prevent gastric intake. However, in the period after exhumation, traumatism of tube placement causes in 21% to 72% of patients, sore throat (POST), generally associated hoarseness. The incidence of POST is influenced by numerous factors such as age, smoke history, duration of tube positioning maneuvers, diameter of the endotracheal tube, pressure present in the headset, duration of intubation. Although analgesics and systemically administered anti-inflammatories have been found to be effective, topical therapies based on the application of corticosteroids, NSAIDs and lidocaine are an interesting alternative because they are also effective, but devoid of the effects collateralises of systemic administration. The proposed methods for the prevention and treatment of POST in cardiac surgery patients, subjected to long-term interventions with consequent need for prolonged mechanical ventilation and therefore orotracheal intubation even in the post-operative period. The propose of trial is that the sub-glottal intake door can also be used for the peat administration of anti-inflammatory drugs in order to prevent pain caused by endotracheal intubation. This drug thus administered will directly reach the anatomical structures most involved in the genesis of post-intubation pain, that is, the vocal cords and the expected part of the trachea.
