Objective: To assess whether music therapy (MT) is effective to reduce pain during daily personal hygiene care (DPHC), a procedure performed in all patients in a pediatric intensive care unit.
Methods: Fifty critically ill children were enrolled in a crossover controlled clinical trial with random ordering of the intervention, that is, passive MT, and standard conditions, and blind assessment of pain on film recordings. The primary outcome was variation of the Face Legs Activity Cry Consolability (FLACC) score (range, 0-10) comparing before and during DPHC.
Objectives: To review use of semiautomated regional citrate anticoagulation (saRCA) for continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) in young children.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Three independent PICUs.
Article Synopsis
- This case study discusses a rare instance of cardiac and neurological complications in a 27-month-old girl diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome caused by Shiga-like toxin-producing Escherichia coli, presenting symptoms like diarrhea and seizures.
- The girl experienced severe neurological impairment and developed pericardial effusion, which is a rare complication in this syndrome.
- An analysis of the effusion revealed the presence of human herpesvirus-6B, indicating a primary infection that complicated her condition, highlighting the need for further investigation in similar cases.
