Rebecca Morgis, BS, Radhika Sood and Angel Lorrine Schuster, MD

Article Type: Original Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 9

Procedural sedation for children is often necessary because it helps limit pain and anxiety and increases the chance of a successful procedure or diagnostic image. A pediatric sedation team (PST), made of an interdisciplinary team can help ensure safe and timely sedations. Our Children’s Hospital (CH) does not have a PST and our goal is to establish one. For this study, our objective was to evaluate sedations performed throughout the CH as part of a longitudinal project to create a PST....

Early research and data on Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have proven that pediatric clinical forms are not serious in many cases. However, the disease can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and multi-organ dysfunction and lead to death. In the present paper, we report one of the first Tunisian critical pediatric cases, a 6-year-old girl with an atypical ARDS secondary to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS- CoV2) that was supported by non invasive ven...

Ventricular Conduction Disorders in Pediatrics: Bundle Branch Blocks- Update

Garcia Cuesta A, Villanueva García A, Uberos Fernández J and Blanca Jover E

Article Type: Review Article | Indexed Archive: Volume 9

The interruption of the cardiac conduction system that occurs in the ventricles, anatomically after the electrical impulse leaves the atrioventricular node, generates bundle branch block. With a particular electrocardiographic morphology, specific measurable and revealing of its topography, it may be related to underlying cardiac pathology, although it also exists in hearts without pathology. Compared to adults, there are more frequent patterns of presentation in the paediatric age, such as righ...

Hip Dysplasia in Congenital Zika Syndrome: A 5 Year Follow- Up

Andréa F Magalhães iD , Carla ACT Caldas iD and Vinícius I de Lucca

Article Type: Original Research | Indexed Archive: Volume 9

Children with Congenital Zika Syndrome (CZS) usually have severe neurological impairment with extrapyramidal involvement mainly spastic quadriplegia, so we believe they would have the same spasticity-related abnormalities, such as high prevalence of hip subluxation, as children with other aetiologies of cerebral palsy (CP). The aim of this study was to investigate hip status and describe the radiographic measures, Reimer’s migration percentage (MP) and acetabular index (AI) in infants diagnose...
