    Determination of the Relationship between Empathy and Compassion Fatigue in Pediatric Clinic Nurses

    Dilek Akıncı1, Hacer Çetin2, Serpil Yılmaz3,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.26, No.11, pp. 935-942, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2024.056935 - 28 November 2024

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to determine the relationship between compassion fatigue and empathic disposition and skill levels of pediatric clinic nurses. Methods: This research was carried out as a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The research was carried out with 233 nurses determined by using a stratified sampling method from 648 nurses working in two University Hospital and two City Hospital children’s clinics. Data were collected using the “Personal Information Form”, “Compassion Scale (CS)”, “Empathic Tendency Scale (ETS)” and “Empathic Skill Scale (ESS)”. Pearson Correlation test, Student’s t-test, ANOVA test, and Scheffe test were used in the… More >

    Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors in Adult and Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease: Review of Emerging Data and Future Directions

    William H. Marshall V1,2,*, Lydia K. Wright2

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.19, No.4, pp. 419-433, 2024, DOI:10.32604/chd.2024.056608 - 31 October 2024

    Abstract Heart failure (HF) is common in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and there are limited medical therapies. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are a proven medical therapy in patients with acquired HF, though data are limited in patients with CHD. The aim of this review is to summarize the current evidence for use of SGLT2i in patients with CHD and identify future directions for study. In available publications, SGLT2i in patients with CHD seem to be well tolerated, with similar side effect profile to patients with acquired HF. Improvement in functional capacity and natriuretic More >

    Comparison of QT Correction Methods in the Pediatric Population of a Community Hospital: A Retrospective Study

    Koren Hyogene Kwag1,*, Ibrahim Kak1, Ying Li2, Walid Khass1, Alec McKechnie1, Oksana Nulman1, Brande Brown1, Manoj Chhabra1

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.19, No.1, pp. 107-121, 2024, DOI:10.32604/chd.2024.045953 - 20 March 2024

    Abstract Objective: Accurate measurement of QT interval, the ventricular action potential from depolarization to repolarization, is important for the early detection of Long QT syndrome. The most effective QT correction (QTc) formula has yet to be determined in the pediatric population, although it has intrinsically greater extremes in heart rate (HR) and is more susceptible to errors in measurement. The authors of this study compare six different QTc methods (Bazett, Fridericia, Framingham, Hodges, Rautaharju, and a computer algorithm utilizing the Bazett formula) for consistency against variations in HR and RR interval. Methods: Descriptive Retrospective Study. We… More >

    Risk Factors for Abuse in Children with Congenital Heart Disease Presenting at a Pediatric Tertiary Care Hospital

    Kristi K. Westphaln1,2,*, Karen Kay Imagawa2,3, Lorena Espinosa Smith1,4, Julia Srivastava5, Nancy A. Pike1,5

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.6, pp. 657-670, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.044179 - 19 January 2024

    Abstract Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a chronic medical condition often diagnosed at birth and requires surgical intervention, multiple hospitalizations, and lifelong care. This can put significant stress on the family, leading to altered maternal mental health, bonding and attachment issues, and the potential for child abuse. The purpose of this study is to explore the characteristics of a sample of young children with CHD who experienced hospitalization with concurrent concern for child abuse in a free-standing pediatric tertiary care hospital. Methods: Electronic medical records were reviewed for children aged 0–5 years old who were… More >

    A New Three-Dimensional (3D) Printing Prepress Algorithm for Simulation of Planned Surgery for Congenital Heart Disease

    Vitaliy Suvorov1,2,*, Olga Loboda2, Maria Balakina1, Igor Kulczycki2

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.5, pp. 491-505, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.030583 - 10 November 2023

    Abstract Background: Three-dimensional printing technology may become a key factor in transforming clinical practice and in significant improvement of treatment outcomes. The introduction of this technique into pediatric cardiac surgery will allow us to study features of the anatomy and spatial relations of a defect and to simulate the optimal surgical repair on a printed model in every individual case. Methods: We performed the prospective cohort study which included 29 children with congenital heart defects. The hearts and the great vessels were modeled and printed out. Measurements of the same cardiac areas were taken in the… More > Graphic Abstract

    Intermediate and Long-Term Follow-Up of Transcatheter Closure of Congenital Coronary Cameral Fistulas in Infants and Children: Experience from a Single Center

    Yifan Li1, Zewen Chen2, Yumei Xie1, Shushui Wang1, Zhiwei Zhang1,*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.4, pp. 413-430, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.029848 - 15 September 2023

    Abstract Background: Limited data are available regarding intermediate and long-term outcomes of transcatheter closure (TCC) of coronary cameral fistulas (CCFs) in the pediatric patients. Methods: All pediatric patients diagnosed with CCFs who were scheduled to undergo TCC between 2005 and 2019 were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Results: A total of 66 patients (median age: 3.93 years, median weight: 15 kg) underwent attempted TCC of CCFs. Immediate successful device implantation was achieved in 62 patients, and immediate complete occlusion was achieved in 44 patients (44/62%, 71.0%). The closure procedure was waived in 2 patients due to anatomical factors.… More >

    Dongyun Bie1,#, Hongbai Wang1,#, Chaobin Zhang2, Chunrong Wang3, Yuan Jia1, Su Yuan1, Sheng Shi1, Jiangshan Huang1, Jianhui Wang1,*, Fuxia Yan1,*

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.4, pp. 475-488, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.028017 - 15 September 2023

    Abstract Purpose: This study sought to explore the effect of intraoperative mean blood glucose levels and variability on postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in children undergoing congenital cardiac surgery. Methods: We conducted a prospective nested case-control study in children (age < 18 years) undergoing congenital heart surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) at the Fuwai Hospital between April 01, 2022 and July 30, 2022. Cases were individuals who developed AKI within the first postoperative 7 days (AKI group) and controls were those without AKI (Non-AKI group) according to KDIGO criteria. AKI and Non-AKI groups unmatched and 1:1 matched by… More > Graphic Abstract

    Effects of General Anesthesia on the Results of Cardiac Catheterization in Pediatric Patients with Ventricular Septal Defect

    Kiyotaka Go1,2, Taichi Kato2,*, Machiko Kito1, Yoshihito Morimoto1,2, Satoru Kawai1, Hidenori Yamamoto2, Yoshie Fukasawa2, Kazushi Yasuda1

    Congenital Heart Disease, Vol.18, No.2, pp. 235-243, 2023, DOI:10.32604/chd.2023.027590 - 15 March 2023

    Abstract Background: There is no gold standard sedation method for pediatric cardiac catheterization. In congenital heart diseases with intracardiac shunts, hemodynamic parameters are prone to change depending on the ventilation conditions and anesthetics, although few studies have examined these effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of two different sedation methods on the hemodynamic parameters. Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients with ventricular septal defect (VSD) below 1 year of age who underwent cardiac catheterization at Aichi Children’s Health and Medical Center, who were divided into age- and VSD diameter-matched general anesthesia… More >

    Abstract Background: Congenital coronary artery fistula (CCAF) is a rare anomaly. Treatment strategies tend to close the defect with a symptomatic and significant shunt, primarily based on expert consensus and case series. Results for long-term follow-up in children are limited Methods: We conducted a retrospective study to assess clinical and imaging outcomes of children with CCAF at Siriraj Hospital, Thailand during 2000–2020. Patients with single ventricle were excluded. Treatment strategies [surgical closure (SC), and percutaneous closure (PC)] were classified and the clinical outcomes at the follow-up in 2021, including coronary thrombosis, myocardial ischemia, and the results of… More > Graphic Abstract
