The Belun ring is a new home sleep apnea testing device using pulse oximeter sensor and neural network algorithm, but its data in children are limited. This study aims to evaluate the correlation agreement of ring, compared with polysomnography (PSG) determine diagnostic accuracy for moderate-to-severe obstructive (OSA).

The long-term respiratory sequelae of COVID-19 infection in children remain poorly understood and may differ across countries. This study aims to investigate the sequelae, including residual symptoms pulmonary function Thai children. secondary aim is identify factors associated with sequelae.

Introduction There is limited evidence on the efficacy of using spirometry routinely in paediatric practice for improving outcomes. Objective To determine whether routine use alters clinical decisions and patient-related outcome measures children managed by respiratory paediatricians. Methods We undertook a parallel open-label randomised controlled trial involving (aged 4–18 years) able to perform specialist children’s hospital Australia. Children were either (intervention) or review without...

Introduction Although spirometry has been available for decades, it is underused in paediatric practice, other than specialist clinics. This unsurprising as there limited evidence on the benefit of routine improving clinical decision making and/or outcomes children. We hypothesised that using children being evaluated respiratory diseases impacts improves patient-related outcome measures (PROMs) quality life (QoL), compared with not spirometry. Methods and analysis are undertaking a...

Abstract Backgrounds Understanding factors associated with anxiety of parents/carers children respiratory problems is clinically important yet there relative paucity data. In 106 seen in the clinic a pediatric hospital, we evaluated (a) determinants for parental and (b) whether scores correlate quality‐of‐life (QoL) subset chronic cough. Methods We opportunistically re‐analyzed data our main study that examined benefits using spirometry consultation where parents completed an questionnaire...

Background: Non-invasive monitoring using ultrasound or Doppler assists in quick haemodynamic assessment and helps to improve outcomes critical care. Parameters including aortic peak blood flow velocity variation (ΔVpeak), inferior vena cava diameter (ΔIVC) stroke volume (SVV) have been commonly used children. Objectives: The aim of this study was assess the correlations between ΔVpeak from transthoracic echocardiography, ΔIVC abdominal SVV ultrasonic cardiac output monitoring. Settings...

Long-term outcomes of pediatric patients with a tracheostomy in developing countries where professional home nurse is not accessible has rarely been reported. We, therefore, investigated the prevalence and associating factors long-term these children. Retrospective chart review was conducted 85 tracheostomized children who were discharged to during January 2012 December 2020. Tracheostomy care provided by caregivers completed program. Prevalence unplanned readmission acute respiratory...

<b>Background:</b> There is limited evidence on the efficacy of using spirometry routinely in paediatric practice for improving outcomes. We aimed to determine whether routine use alters clinical decisions children being managed by respiratory paediatricians. Our secondary aims were to: (1) impacts diagnostic certainty and patient-related outcome measures (2) quantify benefits spirometry. <b>Methods:</b> In this RCT, (aged 4-18 years) able perform randomised either (intervention) or delayed...

Assessment of caregiver knowledge is an essential part home healthcare education for pediatric tracheostomy care, however, there a paucity evidence in long term. This study aims to determine how and misconceptions, as assessed by our test, changed over 12-month period following educational program whether the test score was associated with any demographics caregivers children tracheostomy. A prospective cohort undertaken evaluate at 3 timepoints after education: baseline (T1), 6 months (T2),...
