Filter by:A single site, cross-sectional, feasibility study will be used to evaluate the feasibility of the collection of physiologic data related to the use of the Vitls Platform in the pediatric (< 2 year of age) congenital heart and general surgery populations in the hospital setting that is using 24 hour a day monitoring for routine care over a 48-hour period. A short questionnaire will be sent electronically for the parent-child dyad feedback after the participating child has worn the device. No data will be available at the time of placement for the Healthcare team and will not replace any routine/standard of care monitoring already in place for this complex population.
This randomized, controlled study is designed to estimate the effects of different volumes of plain bupivacaine 0.25% caudal block on different hemodynamic parameters assessed by electrical cardiometry.
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.
When performing laparoscopic appendectomy in children, regional anesthetic techniques are rou-tinely used concomitantly with general anesthesia. These techniques include local infiltration of the trocar wounds or transverse abdominal plane block (TAP block). In 2018, a position paper of the European Society of Pediatric Anaesthesiology advised for TAP block over local infiltration of the trocar wounds. However, there is no randomized study comparing both techniques in children. The aim of this study is to compare morphine consumption during the first 24 postoperative hours in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy and randomly allocated to either local infiltration of the trocar wounds or TAP block.
The investigators will determine, in an 8-site, hybrid Type 1 cluster randomized effectiveness implementation trial, if an acute mental health care bundle, compared to standard care, improves wellbeing at 30 days in children and youth seeking emergency department care for mental health and substance use concerns.
This study aims to examine the sonoanatomy of the inguinal region in children according to age groups.
We aimed to investigate the effect of posterior quadratus lumborum block on postoperative atelectasis in inguinal hernia surgery in pediatric patients.
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.
