Abstract:

The use of music therapy for procedural support is an area of increasing interest yet has little research supporting it as an evidence-based practice. Throughout this article there is an emphasis on the use of music therapy in the pediatric hospital setting, but not exclusively. Procedural support is becoming a commonplace term in music therapy yet there is little information to unify the variety of techniques and practices involved in this particular approach to treatment.

Abstract:

<p>Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy for critically ill children with high mortality, cardiac and/or respiratory failure refractory to conventional intensive treatment. In the last decade, the use of ECLS in pediatric intensive care has rapidly grown. The clinical indications and contraindications for ECLS have changed dramatically. The given review describes the fundamentals of ECMO technology, main clinical indications for ECLS and outcomes of ECMO in neonates and children. ECMO has become the standard for treatmen

Abstract:

Contact with the synthetic surfaces of an extracorporeal circuit induces alterations in vascular components, derangements of the coagulation cascade and a systemic inflammatory response. Aprotinin reduces intraoperative and postoperative bleeding in adults undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass; however, trials in children have not had similar favorable results. While there have been some anecdotal reports, there have been no prospective clinical trials exploring the utility of aprotinin in the prevention of or as a therapy for bleeding while on extracorporeal life support (ECLS).

Abstract:

Many deaths among patients treated in intensive care units (ICUs) occur following the withdrawal or withholding of life support. Following limitation of life support, most of these patients die in the ICU or ward after the decision to limit life support is made, although some may survive to hospital discharge. This study described the characteristics of patients who had life support limitations in ICU and their subsequent in-hospital and out-of-hospital survival using linked data from the state's death registry. Among 26,019 ICU admissions between 1987 and 2002 there were 396 patients (1.5%) w

In addition to the direct support of therapy-supportive measures such as the promotion of physical activities, monitoring of the diet and observation of the quality of life through eHealth approaches are possible. Many solutions are now in transition between research and routine use. The most substantial evidence today is in the area of symptom monitoring. Independent studies have shown a significant survival benefit among other advantages as well. There is also a good overlap in eHealth and physical activity. More and mor

Preservation of the brain is the obvious goal of every cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but resumption of heart and lung function is the only chance to achieve that goal. In the field, basic life support without equipment remains the mainstem of resuscitation. But what should we do if we are not successful, if even advanced life support does not restart the heart? Should we give up or should we add to the advanced life support a new concept: extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation by mechanical support? This would allow more time for the heart to recover or to begin definitive therapy. Prolonged
