Filter by:The biofeedback-assisted VR game "Golden Breath" that investigators presented in this study was designed to meet children's healthcare needs quickly and efficiently while reducing pain and fear during medical procedures in the pediatric population. "Golden Breath" utilizes biofeedback techniques in a VR environment to ensure the active participation of children. By encouraging the practice of breathing techniques throughout the game, the game aims to reduce negative emotions associated with medical procedures. Through this innovative approach, investigators aim to provide new evidence supporting the effectiveness of VR and biofeedback interventions in pediatric clinical settings and ultimately improve children's overall experience during medical interventions.
To the best of our knowledge,the investigators found only a study using VR in reducing preoperative anxiety in paediatric population. Ryu et al found that children who received preoperative VR tour of the operation theatre had perfect score in induction compliance checklist (ICC). With these encouraging data,the investigators decide to conduct a study to determine whether the use of cartoon video VR headset during induction of anaesthesia is able to reduce preoperative anxiety and increase compliance during inhalation induction in children undergoing surgery.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about whether the loss-of-resistance syringe technique is beneficial when adjusting endotracheal cuff pressure in pediatric patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is the loss of resistance syringe technique useful when adjusting endotracheal cuff pressure in pediatric patients? - Is there a difference between the measurements of two different cuff manometers used in the clinic, if so, what is the safety margin between the two manometers? The participants who will be operated under general anesthesia will be anesthetized with the standard anesthesia method, the cuffs of the endotracheal tubes will be inflated with an epidural loss of resistance syringe, the syringe piston will be released, and then the syringe piston will be pushed back with oscillation. Then, cuff pressures will be measured and recorded with a cuff manometer (VBM Cuff Pressure Gauge) and an electronic injector measuring cuff pressure (AG Cufill).
Nowadays, resistance to anti-infectives has become a global public health problem and its increased prevalence threatens human health. To date, few studies have focused on drug compliance in the paediatric population and it varies according to the pathology This drug adherence in the paediatric population is directly linked to outpatient care by the parents or the child's immediate family. In addition, there are no studies on adherence to antibiotics prescribed at the end of hospitalization in the paediatric population. In this context, it seems urgent to seek an intervention capable of leading to responsible and appropriate use of antibiotics in order to improve efficiency in the drug management of acute paediatric infections. This pilot study would characterize pediatric patients and determine the compliance rate in this population.
Palliative care has received considerable attention in Taiwan in recent years. The relevant research has been widely conducted for palliative care in adult population. However, the research in children population is relatively insufficient. In the limited studies, most of them are the experiences generated from individual institutions. This study is going to retrieve the data from 2008-2017 National Health Insurance Research Database, Cancer Registry Database, Death Registry Database and other relevant materials in order to analyze the trends of using pediatric palliative care service, the types of services, the timing of initiating palliative care, and the preference of using palliative care service among different life span in the past decade. In addition, the study will examine the differences of the timing of initiating of pediatric palliative care service and the types of diseases among different characteristics of children and healthcare providers. And the study will discuss how pediatric palliative care services affect medical costs.
