Abstract Background Early mobilization of adults receiving intensive care improves health outcomes, yet little is known about practices in paediatric units (PICUs). We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with physical rehabilitation PICUs across Europe. Methods A 2-day, cross-sectional, multicentre point study was conducted May November 2018. The primary outcome therapy (PT)- or occupational (OT)-provided mobility. Clinical data on patient mobility, potential mobility...
This study addresses the characteristics, kidney replacement therapy (KRT) modalities, and outcomes in children diagnosed with crush syndrome following an earthquake Turkey. To analyze associations of different KRT modalities long-term dialysis dependency length stay (LOS) pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). multicenter, prospective, retrospective cohort was conducted across 20 PICUs Participants included after 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake, eligibility criteria age, diagnosis, need for...
Established reference values are critical for the interpretation of immunologic assessments. In particular, proportion and absolute counts T- B- cell subpopulations subject to change with age ethnicity. We aimed establish age- specific lymphocyte subsets using updated immunophenotyping panels.We studied a total 297 healthy Turkish subjects aged 0 50 years, stratified into major brackets in cluster factor 10 per age-group. The predetermined intervals contained randomly allocated participants...
Introduction Malnutrition is defined as a pathological condition arising from deficient or imbalanced intake of nutritional elements. Factors such increasing metabolic demands during the disease course in hospitalized patients and inadequate calorie increase risk malnutrition. The aim present study to evaluate status admitted pediatric intensive care units (PICU) Turkey, examine effect nutrition on treatment process draw attention need for regulating support while continuing existing...
The accurate prediction of the prognosis for critically ill children is crucial, with Pediatric Index Mortality (PIM) and Risk (PRISM) being extensively utilized this purpose. Albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate levels, which are indicative inflammation circulatory status in children, have not been incorporated into existing scoring systems. This retrospective cohort study evaluated association between biological markers clinical outcomes critical illnesses. PRISM-4 PIM-3 death...
Abstract Background Children should be weaned from the ventilator once their clinical condition improves. Extubation failure is associated with poorer outcomes in children. Predictive indicators of successful extubation are needed. This study aims to evaluate predictive value ultrasonographic diaphragm imaging could help predict weaning success. Methods In this prospective, observational conducted between March and December 2021, children 1 month 10 years age who were mechanically ventilated...
Background: Transient splenial lesions of the corpus callosum are rare radiological findings first described in association with epilepsy, antiepileptic drugs and viral encephalitis. However, subsequently more cases were associated diverse clinical conditions. Case report: We describe a 13-year-old girl suffering from migraine aura presenting headache, right-sided hemiparesis encephalopathy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed an ovoid lesion splenium callosum. The patient’s...
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of euthyroid sick syndrome (ESS) in pediatric intensive care, establish a link between thyroid function tests mortality.Between January 2015 March 2020, children admitted our care unit (PICU) tested for free triiodothyronine (fT3), thyroxine (fT4), thyrotropin (TSH) levels were included. Patients with decreased fT3, normal or fT4, TSH assigned ESS group. The association biochemical indicators ESS, as well relationship fT3 mortality,...
Objective: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is frequently employed to treat neurological conditions with known or presumed immune pathogenesis in adults, however knowledge and experience children remains insufficient.The purpose of this study perform a retrospective assessment the indications, long-term efficacy, safety, complications TPE various neuroimmunological conditions.Methods: This investigation was single-center, cohort conducted at tertiary hospital, analyzing pediatric patients...
Definition of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapies and Methods UsedContinuous renal replacement therapies are extracorporeal support systems in which solute and/or water clearance is achieved the time desired by clinician using dialysis (diffusion-based removal) filtration (convectionbased methods. 3Terminology 1. Route; vascular access necessary for blood flow to reach system Venovenous route -This a method that does not require arterial access.Two separate catheters placed two veins or...
Abstract Objectives: Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most common chronic diseases in and associated with poor growth development. The aim this study was to evaluate effectiveness motivational interviewing (MI) during well-child visits on children’s oral health status practices. Methods: This randomized controlled interventional conducted between April 2015 June 2016. Mothers infants aged 6 12 months who attended their scheduled were eligible. Both groups received regular...
In severe respiratory failure, extracorporal membrane oxygenation support is life-saving, but it has been started to be used in pediatric intensive care units our country very recently. Here, we present a five-month old girl who developed acute distress and air leakages following removal of foreign body obstructing the airway. Mechanical ventilation only increased leaks - despite drainage-resulted hypoxemia, acidosis finally cardiopulmonary arrest. Initiation veno-venous (VV) ECMO improved...
Abstract Objective This study aimed to determine the epidemiology and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) propensity of common viruses in a tertiary pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) among hospitalized children who were tested for by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) prior coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods Respiratory tract samples collected from patients followed up Dokuz Eylul University Hospital between March 2015 2020 viral pathogens. The results 269 1 month...
Introduction:Optimal timing for tracheostomy in children is not well defined.Our aim to examine the pre-tracheostomy morbidities, indications and association of early on clinical outcomes. Methods:This retrospective cohort study included all patients who underwent Dokuz Eylül University Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between January 2012 September 2020.We categorized into late groups according time a mechanical ventilator before using cut-off 14 days.Pre-tracheostomy morbidities...
Background: Children should be weaned from the ventilator once their clinical condition improves. Extubation failure is associated with poorer outcomes in children. Predictive indicators of successful extubation are needed. This study aims to evaluate predictive value ultrasonographic diaphragm imaging could help predict weaning success. Methods: In this prospective, observational conducted between March and December 2021, children 1 month 10 years age who were mechanically ventilated for...
Background & Objective: We present 11-year data of patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD) that were treated in the pediatric intensive care unit a tertiary children’s hospital. Methods: The all cases followed-up (PICU) retrospectively analyzed. Patients evaluated terms age, gender, diagnosis, PRISM, neuroanatomical localization, hospitalization time-age, cause admission to unit, clinical course, complications and discharge status. Results: A NMD was detected 43 1,411 admitted within...
