Filter by:This study is conducted for a mixed methods study. Subjects are 20 child patients and 20 their carers. First, Participants use and interact with a social robot. The robot is controlled by researcher with the wizard of oz. method. The interaction is video-recorded for the later analysis of the child's engagement through amount of his vocalization and sentences. After using social robot, a survey and an in-depth interview will be done. This study investigates the usability, satisfaction, emotion, and other dimensions of social robots of pediatric patients and carers and evaluate the degree of interaction with them with the recording data, survey and in-depth interview. This study is a basis for using social robots to pediatric patients in the hospital environments.
This study aims to examine the sonoanatomy of the inguinal region in children according to age groups.
The overall purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a web-based storytelling intervention for rural-dwelling children (ages 8-17) with serious advanced illnesses. There is a growing need for home-based end-of-life and palliative care for children with serious illnesses. While palliative care interventions offered in home settings are significantly lacking, the problems are magnified by substantial gaps in access to palliative care for rural populations. Web-based recruitment and intervention methods have the potential to access hard-to-reach rural populations and provide a cost-effective health care. In particular, legacy-making (i.e., actions/behaviors aimed at being remembered) is one strategy to help decrease suffering and improve psychosocial outcomes for children with serious illness and end of life needs. Storytelling has successfully documented child legacies and may be an ideal format for children. Guided by our existing, web-based digital storytelling intervention and previous work, this project will offer a remotely-delivered legacy-making intervention to rural-dwelling children with diverse serious, advanced health conditions and their parents.
An increasing number of studies have reported the use of dexmedetomidine in clinical practice. However, few studies have reported on the intranasal use of dexmedetomidine in radiological procedures The aim of this work is to compare the efficacy and safety of intranasal dexmedetomidine and intranasal midazolam in pediatrics undergoing MRI.
The study will evaluate the effectiveness of a novel, real-time risk prediction model for identifying pediatric patients at risk for developing in-hospital blood clots (or venous thromboembolism [VTE]) based on data easily extracted from the electronic medical record. The study will assess whether using the risk percentages for developing VTE derived from the model increases the number of high-risk patients screened by the pediatric hematology team, which may may lead to an overall reduction in the number of pediatric VTEs seen at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
Caudal anesthesia is a commonly used neuraxial anesthesia method for children. Injection of a certain volume of fluid into the epidural space for cauda anesthesia may push some cerebrospinal fluid towards the head, which may lead to mild increase of pressures inside the head. Such mild changes are compensated well by healthy individuals and no clinical sequel is seen, however at-risk populations may be affected. We aim to see how different amounts of fluid injected into the epidural space may change two clinical parameters affected by intracranial pressure to determine if a lower volume is safer than a higher one.
The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability, reproducibility and accuracy of the paediatric probe of transient elastography in detecting liver fibrosis in children, besides its limitations and side effects. At the same time, to assess whether indirect fibrosis markers are a valid tool to detect absence or mild fibrosis in paediatric patients
Background: The Medical Helpline 1813 (Capital Region, Denmark) handles acute, non-life-threatening medical emergencies. Approx. 200,000 calls/year concern children (ref: Rasmussen et al), and about 30% are referred to a pediatric urgent care center. However, many of these children presents very mild symptoms, which require neither treatment nor paraclinical tests, merely parental guidance. We want to empower the parents when handling their sick children by videos and simple text accessible from their smartphone. We want the parents to handle mild symptoms at home and to know when they must contact the medical helpline 1813 or a general practitioner. We have produced 8 short videos and simple texts about the most common symptoms in sick children. The material covers about 70% of the symptoms in acute sick children. The material is developed in collaboration between pediatricians and professional movie producers and is approved by the Danish Society of Pediatrics and other relevant medical societies. Purpose: It will be studied if the new material about symptoms in sick children result in 5% higher parental self-efficacy among the parents who were allowed to watch the material. Moreover, it will be studied if the new material resulted in less children examined by a doctor, and satisfied parents. Method: Parents who call the medical helpline about a medically ill child aged 6 months to 12 years will be offered to try the new material. If they accept, every second parent will be allowed given access to the new material, and every other parent will receive the usual triage by telephone. The results of these otherwise similar groups will be compared. Parents answer surveys about their experiences. Yield: Videos and simple text may empower parents to handle their sick children. The study may result in fewer children referred to hospitals, more appropriate use of resources and better experiences for the families.
The investigators will implement and evaluate an integrated, evidence-based bundle of family-centred, pediatric emergency mental health and addictions care.
The aim of this work to compare the analgesic efficacy of preoperative ultrasound guided subcostal TAP block and Quadratus lumborum block in pediatric patients undergoing pyeloplasty surgeries.
