Filter by:No tool has been found to evaluate behaviors that may hinder or facilitate physical activity in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases. In this sense, the importance of examining physical activity barriers and facilitators in children with rheumatic diseases is clear. We believe that our study will guide the increase in physical activity, which is very important for reducing disease risks in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases. The aim of our study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Inflammatory Arthritis Facilitators and Barriers to Physical Activity (IFAB) Questionnaire in individuals with pediatric rheumatic diseases (juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome, juvenile dermatomyositis).
The goal of this observational study is to assess the incidence of successful ventilation using an ETT inserted orally above the vocal cords in pediatric patients undergoing surgeries. The main question it aims to answer are: Is the use of an endotracheal tube (ETT), positioned in the hypopharynx with its tip placed just above the vocal cords an easy, safe and effective way for the ventilation of pediatric patients who are undergoing surgery under general anesthesia via orotracheal intubation? The procedures to be performed in this study are standard of care. They are also used by pediatric anesthesiologists in the oral intubation of pediatric patients suffering from tumor or abscess.
There are many barriers to heart-healthy lifestyles in pediatric patients with acquired and congenital heart disease. Investigators want to further understand how participants heart and skeletal muscles work together during exercise and evaluate the impact on cardiac function. To do this, the investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to scan the heart and skeletal muscles during exercises to assess blood flow, oxygenation and function.
This study will demonstrate safety in pediatric patients with Parenteral Nutrition-Associated Cholestasis treated with Omegaven®, which is indicated as a source of calories and fatty acids in this patient population
This trial will investigate the feasibility of implementing our novel assessment battery in a neurodiverse pediatric population. More specifically, we want to assess our processes and procedures with respect to 1) recruitment rate (i.e., efficiency of our recruitment methods), 2) tolerability (i.e., proportion of participants able to wear the hardware without difficulty), 3) compliance (i.e., proportion of participants able to complete each task as instructed), 4) efficiency (i.e., time to completion of the test battery), and 5) data fidelity (i.e., proportion of test acquisitions with data suitable for subsequent analyses).
The safety implications of prolonged fasting in young children prior to general anaesthesia are well described. Current UK guidance recommends a fasting time of 6 hours for formula milk prior to general anaesthesia. European guidance published in 2022 recommended a reduced fast of 4 hours for infants taking formula milk, albeit with a downgraded level 2B of evidence given the paucity of high quality research in this area. Although pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents under anaesthesia in children is a rare event, animal studies suggest that aspiration of particulate matter at volumes greater than 0.8 ml/kg gastric volume are associated with demonstrable lung injury and mortality. Although rate of gastric emptying of formula preparations has been extensively studied in neonatal intensive care settings for preterm babies using ultrasound, few studies have measured gastric volume directly in healthy term infants undergoing anaesthesia.
The present tiral conduted to demonstrate the administration of sugammadex as reversal of neuromuscular blockade agent reduces the incedence of emergence agitation (EA) comparing to neostigmine
This prospective cohort study aims to estimate the effect of the CloudCare application in daily practice on treatment satisfaction and emotional burden for pediatric patients and their parents/caregivers, patients' glycemic control (glucometrics), healthcare professional satisfaction, and the impact on costs. A total of 600 pediatric patients (1-15 years) with type 1 diabetes will be enrolled into the study.
Insertion of peripheral intravenous (PIV) lines is one of the most common procedures in the Pediatric Emergency Department (ED). Faster placement of PIV lines can decrease time to intervention, as well overall time patients spend in the ED. Using ultrasound (US) guidance has been shown to increase the rate of first attempt success from around 50% to 78-85% compared to traditional methods of placing PIVs. The Pediatric ED at DCMC has US-trained nurses who assist in placing PIVs in patients with difficult access. Per ED shift, there is an average of 4-6 patients that are considered difficult access. However, because of nursing shortages and the general increased patient flow in the DCMC ED, there may not be a US-trained nurse available when a difficult access patient needs to have a PIV placed during a shift. This can lead to an increase in waiting time for the patient and delayed care. At the DCMC ED, if the first attempt at placing a PIV is not successful, an algorithm for a level of escalation (i.e., which hospital personnel should attempt subsequent placements and maximum number of attempts) is followed. Attempt at PIV placement for most patients in the ED can be made by a patient care technician, RN, beside nurse, or charge nurse. If the PIV placement is not successful after two tries or if the patient has known risk factors that will complicate the PIV placement, the PIV placement is escalated to more experienced personnel, which includes US-trained nurses. For the purposes of this protocol, we will refer to these patients and personnel as Level 2 placements. Pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) is a clinical subspecialty that focuses on caring for complicated and acutely ill pediatric patients in the emergency department. In partnership with Ascension Seton Dell Children's Medical Center, UT Austin's Dell Medical School PEM Fellowship is a rigorous program where Fellows are offered a broad experience in all facets of pediatric emergency medicine¸ including clinical care, teaching, research, and administration. A cohort of 12 Fellows are currently part of the program and could be trained to administer PIV via US, being available to place PIVs in patients with difficult access when a US-trained nurse is not available. We hypothesize that adding Pediatric Emergency Medicine (PEM) Fellows to the rotation of personnel who can insert IVs for pediatric patients with difficult access will shorten time to successful peripheral intravenous (PIV) placement overall in the Dell Children's Medical Center (DCMC) Emergency Department (ED).
Circumcision is one of the most commonly performed operations in the pediatric population and is a painful procedure. Circumcision is performed with two popular techniques, Plastibell and conventional dissection method (CDM). For intra-operative (OP) and post-OP pain relief, two commonly used local anesthetic techniques are caudal block (CB) and dorsal penile block (DPNB) plus ring block (RB) at the base of the penis. There are very few randomized controlled trials comparing these two methods of intra-OP and post-OP pain relief, for different surgical techniques and there is a lack of well-conducted studies comparing the quality of analgesia, need for rescue analgesia in the early post-OP period, complications, and parental satisfaction comparing these blocks. Furthermore, there is a lot of contradiction in the literature regarding the duration of analgesia produced with these techniques.
