Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how safe it is for Physician Assistants to give sedation to kids during painful medical procedures like bone marrow tests.
- They checked if any kids had problems like low oxygen levels or needed extra help breathing during the process.
- The results showed that there were no serious issues and only a few minor problems, which suggests that it can be done safely by trained Physician Assistants.
Introduction: Regulations designed to protect children participating in clinical research often restrict the availability of research data necessary for the development of age-specific therapies and drug dosing. Few data exist on how children experience participation in clinical research, and studies investigating young children undergoing an intensive medical treatment are lacking.
Methods: Mixed methods with semi-structured interviews and DISCO-RC questionnaires were used to explore young children's and their parents' experiences in clinical research participation during a kidney transplantation trajectory.
Article Synopsis
- The organization of healthcare and requirements for postgraduate medical training in pediatric anesthesia are inconsistent across European countries, influenced by country-specific regulations.
- The European Board of Anaesthesiology has established advisory training standards, but these are not mandatory, leading to significant variations in pediatric anesthesia training practices, such as supervision requirements and clinical experience in different countries.
- Most European countries lack official pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs, and while there is growing interest in creating a unified European pediatric anesthesia curriculum, it remains unclear how these training differences impact clinical outcomes in pediatric care.
Background: Despite the high perioperative risk profile, international guidelines for anesthesia and intensive care unit (ICU) care in pediatric kidney transplantation do not exist. Optimizing hemodynamics can be challenging in these patients, while scientific data to guide decisions in hemodynamic monitoring, hemodynamic targets, and perioperative fluid management are lacking. The limited annual number of pediatric kidney transplantations, even in reference centers, necessitates the urge for international collaboration to share knowledge and develop research and guidelines.
