Background: The inability to ensure adequate nutrition for patients, and failure provide calorie protein intake, result in malnutrition, leading increased morbidity mortality. present study assesses the two approaches enteral nutrition—intermittent continuous feeding—in critically ill pediatric patients Türkiye determine superiority of one method over other. Methods: Included this multicenter prospective were receiving via a tube who followed up 3-month period. Anthropometric data, signs...
Aims: Iloprost is a prostacyclin analog that has vasodilatation properties at the systemic level, inhibiting platelet aggregation and adhesion triggering angiogenesis. Our experience with intravenous (IV) administration of iloprost as vasodilator in pediatric intensive care units limited. The present study investigates characteristics patients subjected to IV therapy their response treatment. Methods: A 15-month period, all who received treatment were included. Data including age, gender,...
“To know that we what know, and do not is true knowledge.” —Confucius The efforts to restore life after cardiac arrest (CA) must aim toward the restoration of best possible quality life, means recovery neurologic function brain has undergone a hemodynamic upheaval. If normoxia normocarbia are maintained, risks both primary secondary injury exponentially high, with potentially devastating consequences. Current thinking maximizing cerebral perfusion key providing conditions for recovery, thus...
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...
Rigidity and Multifocal Seizure Syndrome, Lethal Neonatal (RMFSL) (OMIM# 614498) is a rare recently characterized epileptic encephalopathy that related to variants in the BRAT1 gene (Breast Cancer 1-associated ataxia telangiectasia mutated activation-1 protein). In this report, an RMFSL case, who died 10th month of life, with rigidity, drug-resistant myoclonic seizures face extremities, with, significant motor delays presented. The exon sequence was determined new homozygous variant...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate left and right ventricular functions by using the Doppler myocardial performance index (MPI), in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA).We examined 32 patients SCA 30 age-matched healthy children. Echocardiography examinations were completed for each subjects. MPI calculated from tracings.Compared controls, ventricle (LV) end-diastolic diameter, end-systolic early-diastolic mitral flow velocity late-diastolic significantly higher SCA. Although, LV...
This study aimed at evaluating the value of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) levels in differential diagnosis fever patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). The included 86 children SCD (group 1) 49 controls 2). During study, had 114 acute episodes or routine visits to units. They were classified as having vasoocclusive crisis 1A), without 1B), no (steady state, group 1C). Only crises admitted hospital. Patients hospital various clinical signs symptoms each every time groups...
The objective of this study was to detect variables associated with burnout syndrome (BS) in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) and emergency medicine departments (PEDs) high-volume centers from different parts Turkey.An observational, cross-sectional multicenter performed. Maslach Burnout Inventory scale administered all health providers working PICUs PEDs. In study, were defined as physicians, nurses, other staff (secretaries, cleaning patient staff) PICU PEDs.A total 570 participants...
This study aimed to examine the incidence, epidemiology, and clinical characteristics of symptomatic asymptomatic candidiasis in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), determine risk factors associated with candidiasis. retrospective included 67 patients from 7-bed PICU tertiary hospital that had Candida-positive cultures between April 2007 July 2009. Demographic patients, Candida isolates, antimicrobial antifungal treatments, previously identified for were recorded, compared. In all, 36...

This study is aimed to determine the effect of ozone therapy in neonatal rats with experimentally induced hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HIBI).The included 7-d-old male Wistar that were randomized sham, control, 1, and 2 groups. All except those sham group kept a hypoxia chamber, then control given 0.5 mL saline. Those 1 mg kg-1 intraperitoneally, intraperitoneally.There significantly fewer apoptotic neurons right hemispheres groups than (p < 0.001 p 0.001, respectively). There 0.001)....
The objectives of this study were to determine the causes, location cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) in children, and demographics resuscitation (CPR) Turkish pediatric emergency departments intensive care units (PICUs) survival rates morbidities for both in-hospital out-of-hospital CPA.This multicenter descriptive was conducted prospectively between January 15 July 15, 2011, at 18 centers (15 PICUs, 3 departments) Turkey.During period, 239 children had received CPR. Patients' average age 42.4...
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rare but potentially fatal disease characterized by fever, muscle rigidity, delirium and autonomic instability. Here we report child, with NMS due to the risperidone misdiagnosed as status epilepticus. Nine year old boy, who had been under high dose treatment for 8 weeks, admitted emergency room because of contractions (evaluated epilepticus) persisting 7 hours. Since there was neuroleptic in past medical history and, unconsciousness, muscular...
The aim of this study was to determine if levetiracetam (LEV) is neuroprotective in neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI).The included 7-d-old male Wistar that were randomly divided into the LEV400, LEV800, control, and sham groups. All rats, except those group, underwent ligation carotid artery then kept a hypoxic chamber containing 8% oxygen for 2 h. At end period control group administered saline solution 0.5 mL, LEV400 LEV 400 mg.kg-1, LEV800 800 mg.kg-1 via...
