Filter by:The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation regularly publishes a Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations but guidelines can nevertheless differ when knowledge gaps persist. In case of pediatric cardiac arrest, the American Heart Association recommends following the adult resuscitation sequence i.e., starting with chest compressions. Conversely, the European Resuscitation Council advocates the delivery of 5 initial rescue breaths before starting chest compressions. Carrying out a randomized trial in children in cardiac arrest to assess the impact of these strategies would prove particularly challenging and ethical concerns may prevent such a trial from being performed. This will be a superiority, cross-over randomized trial whose goal is to determine the impact of these 2 resuscitation sequences on alveolar ventilation in a pediatric model of cardiac arrest. While not definitive, its results could help fill part of the current knowledge gap.
Introduction: While there is a substantial body of knowledge about acute Covid-19 in children and young people (CYP), less is known about long-COVID, where symptoms continue beyond four weeks, particularly since the most recent wave of the Omicron variant and the UK childhood vaccination programme roll out. This study aims to provide a picture of longer-term effects of an acute Covid-19 infection in CYP and identify their needs. Methods and analysis: The study comprises an observational prospective cohort study and a linked qualitative study. The cohort study will identify CYP aged 8-17 years in the West Midlands of England and, irrespective of Covid-19 status, invite them to complete an online questionnaire at point of recruitment, and after 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. CYP who have experienced long-term effects of COVID-19 will be invited to interview and, those who are currently experiencing symptoms, will be invited to record their experiences in a diary. Adults working in professional or third sector/voluntary roles with CYP will be invited to take part in a focus group to explore the perceived impact of Long-COVID on the wider experience of CYP. Approximately 900 participants will be needed for the cohort study to ensure the sample size is suitable, with approximately 20 CYP invited to interview and approximately 8 professionals invited to a focus group. Descriptive statistics will be used to describe incidence rates of symptoms and symptom resolution trajectories, and comparisons made between exposed and non-exposed groups. Logistic regression models will be used to estimate associations between candidate predictors and development of Long-COVID at each follow-up point. Linear regression will be used to estimate associations between candidate predictors and poor outcome in terms of health-related quality of life, as described by the KIDSCREEN10. Qualitative data will be analysed thematically using the constant comparison method. Ethics and dissemination: Research Ethics Committee and Health Research Authority approvals will be sought. Information about where to seek support will be provided to participants to mitigate against risks of harm. Study findings will be presented at conferences and published in open access journals.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the correlation between quantified fibro-adipous infiltration of muscles on MRI assessed by MERCURI Score and the functional abilities (deficiencies, activity limitations and social participation of pediatric patients with arthrogryposis.
This study will determine the effectiveness of a vaccine communication mobile health app on parental decisions to vaccinate their children against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The hypothesis is that unvaccinated children of caregivers assigned to the Vaccine Uptake app will be more likely to achieve COVID-19 vaccine series completion than those children whose caregivers are assigned to the General Health app.
According to the definition of the World Confederation of Physical Therapy (WCPT), physiotherapists serve to restore, maintain and improve the movement and functional skills of individuals. Physiotherapists; They take a role when the movement and functions of people are endangered due to aging, injury, disease, disorder or environmental factors. As in the world, the physiotherapist profession is gradually developing and spreading in Turkey. In this sense, the number of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation faculties, departments and colleges is increasing every year. With the increasing prevalence of the profession, it has brought up the revision of training programs and questioning their success. In the literature, there are accreditation reports and guides in Australia, America and Canada regarding the education of the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation science field. When we look at the literature in our country, there is no study that covers a common curriculum or training program developed for Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Turkey.Therefore, it is thought that the diversity in education programs may affect the way physiotherapists, most of whom work in special education, work after graduation.
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of both ketamine and dexamethasone on the duration and magnitude of analgesia when combined with bupivacaine for incisional infiltration in pediatric abdominal operations.
The effect of low dose nalbuphine or ketamine in the prevention of emergence agitation after sevoflurane anesthesia in children undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. This randomized double-blind study was carried out at, Ain shams University Hospitals, from March 2021 to June 2021 on 90 patients after approval of the ethical committee.
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of intranasal Dexmedetomidine sedation at Dose of 2 mcg/kg and 4 mcg/kg in Children Undergoing MRI at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital
The purpose of this study is to: 1. Establish the feasibility and acceptability of a therapeutic robot, Paro, for critically ill patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit 2. Explore safety considerations related to infection control [participant hospital-acquired infection (HAI) rates, screening for the presence of microbial contamination with real-time ATP testing 3. Examine the therapeutic effect of Paro on patient psychological variables, physiological variables, and sedative and analgesic medication requirements.
Because burn patients and their caregivers often live long distances from regional burn centers, access to expert burn care is limited, resulting in a negative effect on adherence to treatment and a higher risk of wound complication. A novel smartphone application synchronized with a web portal for providers, called the Telemedicine Optimized Burn Intervention (TOBI), was recently developed to enable burn experts to direct burn wound care while the patient and caregiver are home through text messaging, image transfer, and video-conferencing. The goal of the present study is evaluate TOBI compared to face-to-face care as usual for pediatric patients/caregivers visiting a burn center. This study will also assess the feasibility of conducting a larger-scale clinical trial in several burn centers. The app will allow the physician and patient to make instant decisions regarding treatment, allowing for "turn on a dime" treatment decisions, rather than having the patients and families wait for scheduled clinic appointments, often hours away from home. This "on demand" medical care takes an innovative approach to increasing access to burn experts through smartphone technology and addressing adherence to prescribed treatment by increasing communication between provider and patients.
