Objectives: To evaluate functional outcomes and predictors of an unfavorable outcome in children following a critical illness. Design: Prospective observational longitudinal cohort study. Setting: Two tertiary care, Canadian PICUs: McMaster Children’s Hospital London Health Sciences. Patients: Children 12 months to 17 years old, admitted PICU for at least 48 hours with one or more organ dysfunction, were eligible. Patients not expected survive, direct transfers from neonatal ICU patients...
To determine the feasibility of conducting a longitudinal prospective study to evaluate functional recovery and predictors impaired in critically ill children.
To determine the feasibility of conducting a full trial evaluating efficacy early mobilization using in-bed cycling as an adjunct to physiotherapy, on functional outcomes in critically ill children.Single center, pilot, randomized controlled trial.Twelve-bed tertiary care, medical-surgical PICU at McMaster Children's Hospital, Hamilton, ON, Canada.Children 3-17 years old who were limited bed-rest with expected stay least 48 hours. Patients excluded if they their baseline level function,...
Objectives: To understand patient, family caregiver, and clinician impressions of early mobilization, the perceived barriers facilitators to its implementation, use in-bed cycling as a method mobilization. Design: A qualitative study, conducted part Early Exercise in Critically ill Youth Children, preliminary Evaluation (wEECYCLE) Pilot randomized controlled trial. Setting: McMaster Children’s Hospital PICU, Hamilton, ON, Canada. Participants: Clinicians (i.e., physicians, nurses,...
BACKGROUND Although the ingestion of button batteries (BBs) in neonates is exceedingly rare, it poses severe clinical challenges with potentially catastrophic outcomes. The increase such cases, particularly among toddlers, largely due to widespread availability portable electronic devices. Ingestion or disk notably more dangerous than other foreign bodies, often leading acute complications as burns and esophageal perforation. This report details diagnosis management a 21-day-old neonate who...
Background/Objectives:Maerua crassifolia, a threatened medicinal species endemic to drylands, exhibits pronounced drought sensitivity. Despite the critical role of microorganisms, particularly bacteria and fungi, microbial consortia in M. crassifolia’s rhizosphere remain underexplored. Methods: Metagenomic whole genome shotgun sequencing (WGS) was employed elucidate taxonomic composition bacterial fungal communities inhabiting soil crassifolia. Results: The data revealed marked predominance...
Background Outcomes in pediatric critical care research are typically selected by the researcher. Objectives (1) To identify outcomes prioritized patients and their families following a illness (2) to determine overlap between patient-centered researcher-selected study outcomes. Methods An exploratory descriptive qualitative nested within longitudinal cohort conducted 2 intensive units (PICUs). Participants were purposively sampled from primary ensure adequate demographic representation....
The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and safety implementing two methods in-bed mobilization in critically ill children. This prospective cohort trial conducted at McMaster Children's Hospital, Pediatric Critical Care Unit (PCCU). Hemodynamically stable patients aged 3 17 years with a longer than 24-hour PCCU stay were eligible participate study. Children cardiorespiratory instability, already mobilizing well or their baseline mobility, anticipated death during...
Diagnosing pediatric intensive care unit–acquired weakness (PICU-AW) is challenging. The Medical Research Council (MRC) score a widely used screening method for muscle in critically ill adults; however, its utility children has not been established. Our objective was to determine the feasibility and interobserver reliability of strength testing using MRC children. A prospective observational substudy aged 1 17 years limited bed rest during first 48 hours PICU admission evaluated with weekly...
Pediatric rapid response teams (RRTs) are expected to significantly lower pediatric mortality in healthcare settings. This study evaluates RRTs' effectiveness decreasing cardiac arrests and unexpected Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admissions. A quasi-experimental (2014-2017) at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, involved 3261 inpatients, split into pre-intervention (1604) post-intervention (1657) groups. Baseline warning scores monthly data on admissions, transfers,...
Background: In children, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is usually mild. However, children can be seriously impacted in rare situations, and clinical manifestations may differ from those seen adults. One consequence associated with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) a Multisystem Inflammatory (MIS-C). We sought to describe the clinical, laboratory radiological characteristics, as well outcomes of MISC. Methods: A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted seven...
Background and aims: Early mobilization of critically ill adults appears to be safe, feasible, improves patient outcomes. In contrast, there is a paucity research in pediatrics. Aims: Our objective this prospective cohort study was evaluate the safety feasibility early rehabilitation pediatric critical care unit (PCCU) setting, using combination individualized mobility interventions. Methods: This IRB approved. We applied either passive (cycle ergometer) and/or active (interactive...
Background: Hypertension remains a major health problem, causing high mortality and morbidity all over the world. It is considered risk factor for both cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) coronary artery disease (CAD). Objectives: To assess level of knowledge hypertensive patients in Makkah City. Methods: A cross-sectional analytical questionnaire based study among City. Results: The mean age was 45 years, ranged from 35 to 70 63.33% were females 36.67% male respondents. majority them...
Background: Cognitive decline, particularly associated with aging and neurodegenerative disorders, significantly affects individuals' ability to perform daily activities. Rehabilitation Therapy (CRT) offers a non-pharmacological intervention that focuses on regaining or compensating for lost cognitive functions. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into rehabilitation programs has shown transformative potential in enhancing diagnosis, personalized care, improving outcomes patients...
Oral mucositis (OM) is a debilitating condition characterized by erythema, edema, and ulcerative lesions of the oral mucosa, commonly arising as complication radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). It significantly impacts patients' quality life, causing severe pain, nutritional deficiencies, increased risk infections, often necessitating treatment modifications.This review aims to provide healthcare providers with an updated understanding...
Background: the risk of cataract was increased in patients using steroid therapy for long periods a dose dependent manner. Objectives: assessing knowledge Saudi population toward chronic use impact on cataract. Subjects and Methods: this is cross sectional study conducted from February 2017 to June among 918 adult subjects randomly chosen 15 primary health care centers KSA. All were asked fill up questionnaire that included their demographics questions about it effects. Results: mean age...
Aims & Objectives: Mobilizing critically ill children in the PICU is crucial to help reduce functional and physical impairment. The prevalence of rehabilitation practices PICUs across world variable. Our study aims determine mobilization associated factors specifically Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted mobility provided by PT or OT. Clinical data, patient mobility, safety events, barriers were collected prospectively from patients admitted for...
Background and aims: There is a paucity of evidence on how children recover after critical illness factors that influence their recovery. Aims: The objective in this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility measuring functional recovery following Pediatric Critical Care Unit (PCCU) discharge, using International Classification Functioning, Disability, Health framework. Methods: Single centre, IRB approved, prospective observational study. Children 1–18 years with greater than 48 hour PCCU...
Background and aims: The MRC (Medical Research Council) grading for muscle strength is widely recommended as a reliable screening tool ICU-AW in the adult ICU population.
