Central venous access is an imperative measure used in neonates whether being a peri-operative measure for children undergoing cardiac procedures for congenital heart diseases or as a mean of nutrition in neonatal enteral malnutrition and drug administration in oncology patients. Central catheters fall into two categories, a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line or centrally inserted central catheters (CICC). Although these two modalities practically have the same aim, identifying the more effective technique is imperative for deciding which procedure should be applied to ameliorate patient outcomes. Many studies have been previously done that delineate the indications for central venous access with practically no absolute contraindications. These indications include central venous pressure (CVP) monitoring, poor venous access, volume resuscitation, and prolonged venous access in critically ill patients, total parenteral nutrition (TPN), cardio-pulmonary resuscitation and medication administration. Centrally inserted catheters have evolved from being blindly inserted catheters using landmarks techniques, is the usual standard of care, to being placed under direct visualization using ultrasound guidance. Since its first use back in the 90's, ultrasound guided insertion of central venous catheters has gained attention and successful attempts have been made to improve this technique. US-guidance initially used acoustic Doppler techniques but is now largely replaced by two-dimensional (2D) imaging and internal jugular vein (IJV) being the preferred site of insertion by US over femoral and subclavian vein. Several studies have compared these two techniques. Small-caliber vessels remain a great challenge in the pediatric population which backup the use of imaging modalities for a successful and safer insertion of CVCs. This study aims to develop a better understanding of pain during central line insertions, compare pain scores between the two techniques in order to adopt the less painful technique and ultimately provide insight about the use of analgesics during these procedures for a better outcome.
After obtaining parental consent ultrasonographic evaluation of right internal jugular vein will be performed in pediatric patients undergoing elective surgeries between 0-2 years of age. The patients for whom central venous catheterization is indicated will be included. The success rates and outcomes of catheterization will be recorded.
This observational study includes questionnaires send to doctors in all units treating pediatric patients with mechanical ventilation in Finland. Additionally all units treating pediatric patients with mechanical ventilation are invited to perform a quality control-like follow up for 3 months. Patient identity data is not collected, and no interventions to treatment are made.
Low birth weight and prematurity are associated with adverse metabolic outcome in adult life. Yet it remains to be determined whether this outcome is the consequence of the low birth weight per se, or of the catch up growth achieved in Neonatology units using an early, 'aggressive' nutritional management. As a matter of fact, 'aggressive' nutrition may promote fat mass, rather than lean body mass accretion. Assessment of body composition therefore is key to evaluate the efficacy of the nutritional management of these infants. Scarce data is, however, available in the literature about the body composition of healthy full-term neonates in the first few days of life. The aim of this study is to: 1. Evaluate the feasibility and reproducibility of a safe and non invasive method of measurement of infant body composition by Air Displacement Plethysmography (PeaPod). Anthropometry and BIA will be used as the reference techniques to assess the accuracy of the PeaPod 2. Describe the body composition (fat mass, fat free mass) of healthy full-term neonates in the first few weeks of life 3. Obtain data on the total body water content of healthy full term infants from BIA.
The primary purpose of this study is to collect data on the incidence of congenital malformations in infants of women with an ongoing pregnancy after controlled ovarian stimulation with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone /ganirelix followed by in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intra cytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI), and to compare this incidence with that of a group of women who used a long protocol with a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist as historical controls.
The objective of this trial was to evaluate whether Corifollitropin Alfa treatment for the induction of multifollicular growth in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was safe for pregnant participants and their offspring. The primary endpoint was the take-home baby rate calculated as the number of participants with an ongoing pregnancy in Base Trial P05787 (NCT00696800) with at least one live born infant relative to the number of participants in the Base Trial, and to the number of participants in the Base Trial with Embryo Transfer (ET).
The objective of this trial was to evaluate whether Org 36286 treatment for the induction of multifollicular growth in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) is safe for pregnant subjects and their offspring.
The objective of this follow-up study is to evaluate whether corifollitropin alfa (Org 36286) treatment for the induction of multifollicular growth in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is safe for pregnant participants and their offspring.
The objective of this trial is to evaluate whether corifollitropin alfa (MK-8962, Org 36286) treatment for the induction of multifollicular growth in women undergoing Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is safe for pregnant participants and their offspring.
