Filter by:Children on mechanical ventilation are given painful stimuli an average of 10-14 times a day, and endotracheal aspiration is one of the procedures that causes the most pain in these children. Effective pain control not only improves the quality of life of children undergoing cardiothoracic surgery, but can also improve clinical outcome. If pain is not alleviated or eliminated with effective interventions during this period, it may cause neurological and behavioral disorders in the future. Excessive and long-term pain, especially as a result of applied interventions, causes behavioral stress and physiological imbalances. Any painful invasive procedure may interfere with the child's behavior, nutrition routine, interaction with the mother, and the child's adaptation to the environment, as well as may cause postoperative complications. In addition, experiencing pain can affect subsequent pain behaviors, causing the child to have a sensitivity to pain throughout his life. Effective pain management is divided into two categories: pharmacological and non-pharmacological. Non-pharmacological pain management strategies in children Pain management is defined as any strategy or technique applied to a child in pain with the aim of reducing the pain experience. Listening to recorded maternal voice and maternal heartbeat, music therapy, white noise are some of the non-pharmacological methods used in children. Studies emphasize that the use of music therapy is an effective method to reduce postoperative pain, ensure better oxygenation and improve physiological parameters in children who have undergone major surgery such as cardiothoracic surgery. It is also emphasized that music therapy reduces respiratory frequency, stabilizes breathing, stimulates the pituitary gland to secrete endorphins, and stabilizes heart rate and blood pressure by reducing catecholamine levels. It is stated that one of the non-pharmacological methods used in effective pain management in children is the mother's voice. Although the mechanism underlying the effect of the mother's voice is not fully explained, it is stated that the mother's voice will create a relaxing environment for children. Studies have shown that listening to the mother's voice before and after invasive interventions on babies and children in the intensive care unit reduces pain. In a study conducted by Erdoğan and his colleagues, they found that the pain levels, heart rates and oxygen saturations of children aged 1-3 who were listened to the mother's voice during painful procedures were lower. It is emphasized that listening to the mother's voice is one of the approaches that can be used as an effective method in pain management in critical care environments where mothers cannot be with their babies and children and cannot actively participate in their care. It is known that non-pharmacological methods are effective in reducing pain in children, and they increase the effectiveness of drugs when used together with analgesics. Non-pharmacological methods are preferred because they are easy to apply and cheap, and they reduce the need for drug administration and thus the risk of side effects. Knowing the impact of pain and related stress on children, developing appropriate pain control strategies is both a medical and ethical responsibility. When the literature is examined, it is thought that there are a limited number of studies examining the effects of mother's voice and music therapy on pain and physiological parameters during the aspiration process in intubated children, and that not examining "mother's voice and music therapy", which directly affects pain and physiological parameters during the aspiration process in intubated children, is an important limitation. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the effects of mother's voice and music therapy on pain and physiological parameters during the aspiration process in intubated children.
Introduced in 1930, photoplethysmography techniques presented the possibility of measuring SpO2 and HR using the absorption of light by the blood to define these signals In recent years, a new approach to photoplethysmography to measure physiological parameters without contact has been developed. This technique, called remote Photoplethysmography Imaging (rPPG), uses the different Red - Green - Blue color spectra at a skin captured by the camera video to determine a plethysmography signal. Although these systems have been technically valid, they have not been clinically evaluated in a health setting. This clinical trial is to assess parameters measurements by rPPG compared standard acquisition system in real conditions
