Cephalometric Measurements in Infants with Congenital Heart Disease Compared to Healthy Infants
Introduction: The lack of adequate blood perfusion through different organs of the body, including the brain and skull, can be caused by any type of circulation abnormality. The purpose of this study is to compare cephalometric indices between infants under the age of 12 months who have congenital heart disease (CHD) and normal infants. Materials and Methods: This case-control study was ca...
متن کاملeTT sucTioning in neonaTes and infanTs
The endotracheal tube (eTT) is the most common artificial airway used in NICUs. Suctioning of the eTT is imperative to maintain patency and prevent complications. An extensive review of the literature revealed a lack of standardized criteria or guidelines for suctioning the eTT of neonates and infants in the NICU. The purpose of this article is to report the implementation of an evidencebased g...

متن کاملOpen versus Closed Endotracheal Suctioning in the Intensive Care Comparison of Closed Endotracheal Suction Versus
BACKGROUND: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a frequent nosocomial infection in the intensive care, is associated with considerable morbidity. Endotracheal suctioning is routinely performed in mechanically ventilated patients to clear secretions. This study assessed if there were advantages of closed endotracheal suctioning (CES) over open endotracheal suctioning (OES) with respect to cli...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Soluble ST2 (sST2) Serum Levels in Infants and Children with Heart Failure Complicating Congenital Heart Disease
Background Heart failure (HF) in infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is a crucial complication with different outcomes. Many biomarkers are used as prognostic indicators. Soluble ST2 (sST2) is one of these markers studied in adults with HF. We aimed to study the prognostic value of sST2 in CHD children with HF. Materials and Methods In current case-control study, thirty-six...
