Analysis of the Effectiveness of Targeted Nursing in Children with Severe Viral Encephalitis Complicated with Respiratory Failure

Objective:To explore and analyze the effectiveness of targeted nursing in children with severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure.Methods:From April 2021 to April 2023,74 children with severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of our hospital were selected as the research objects and divided into the target group(n=37)and the reference group(n=37).Targeted nursing was given to the target group,while general nursing was given to the reference group.Physical rehabilitation,motor scores,and lung function were compared between the groups.Results:The recovery time of limb abnormalities,convulsions,abnormal consciousness,and cranial nerve disorders in the target group was significantly better than that in the reference group(P<0.05).The motor function,joint activity and pain,sensory function,and total score of the target group were significantly lower than those of the reference group(P<0.05).After the intervention,lung function indicators including VC(vital capacity),FVC(forced vital capacity),and MVV(maximum voluntary ventilation)of the target group were better than those of the reference group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Targeted nursing can shorten the recovery period of severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure in children,speed up the recovery of motor function,and improve lung function.This nursing model has a significant application effect in children with severe viral encephalitis complicated with respiratory failure.

Research Progress of Continuous Blood Purification in the Treatment of Severe Sepsis in Children

Pediatric sepsis is the most common disease in pediatric critical illness,because the main reason for the disease is that children's immune level is not high or the immune system is not perfect,when children's lung,abdominal cavity and blood system are infected,it will cause systemic inflammation and immune dysfunction.Early clinical symptoms are mainly irregular and intermittent fever.When the disease develops to severe sepsis,the children will suffer from acute heart failure,oliguria,respiratory alkalosis and even multiple organ failure.The incidence of death is high.It is reported that the incidence rate of sepsis in children can reach 0.3%,and the mortality rate is 50%.High incidence rate,high mortality rate and high treatment cost are the biggest problems in the pediatric field.In the past,the clinical hope of clearing away heat and toxin,promoting blood circulation and removing stasis,strengthening inflammation and other methods in traditional Chinese medicine,but the treatment effect is not ideal.With the improvement of modem medical understanding of sepsis,continuous blood purification therapy is introduced into the treatment of children with severe sepsis.In order to further explore the effect of continuous blood purification in the treatment of children with severe sepsis,the author summarizes the clinical practice experience and relevant literature,hoping to provide reference for relevant medical staff。

Reporting Children’s Development below the Test Floor: Looking Back and Forth to Describe Individual Strengths and Needs

The test floor effects seen in standardised tests lead to a standardised score of 1 or less with a flat profile that hides a child’s individual strengths and needs. The Griffiths III community of practitioners requested advice on the reporting of children’s development below the floor of the test, so that individual strengths and needs can be described. This paper reports the third phase of research following an earlier Scoping Review and a wider literature review. To confirm quality control, Phase 3 was conducted in a retrospective manner using the same methodology as the earlier phases but in a reverse direction. Peer reviewer comments and key elements from the Scoping Review and keywords from the publications were tabulated. Data analysis included a change of perspective to that of the child and their individual rights with respect to the literature themes already described in Phase 2. These confirmed that there is little specific guidance in the literature, but that computational advances for homogeneous populations and especially disaggregated data offer some solutions. A greater balance between broad biopsychosocial models and standardised models of assessment should be sought by practitioners together with the use of disaggregated data to highlight issues that pertain to individual subsets of results. This will ensure that the child’s right for their individual strengths and needs to be described together with a plan for management, may be met.

Roles and Hopes of Family Members Living with SMID Children in Japan

The number of children with Severe Motor and Intellectual Disabilities (SMID) receiving medical treatment/recovering at home is rising yearly. Although benefits of this care are emphasized, the stress and duties of family members in the household are extremely great, especially because Japan is becoming a society of nuclear families. In this study, we described the lifestyles of nuclear families providing in-home medical care for children with SMID, focusing on family members’ roles. Roles of mothers, fathers, and siblings of children with SMID were summarized from semi-structured inter-views. As a result, for “the roles of each family member living with a child with SMID”, mothers had five roles, fathers seven, and siblings five. For “the hopes of each family member living with a child with SMID”, parents desired the whole family collaboration in care for children with SMID, and as caregivers, parents’ common thoughts included wanting siblings in order to help care for the child with SMID and wanting siblings to treasure their own lives. Siblings wanted their mother to have some time for rest and expected their fathers to have two main roles. They also expected their grandparents and other siblings to fulfill roles.

A comparative study of unrelated donor and matched-sibling donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children and adolescents with acquired severe aplastic anemia

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of unrelated do-nor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(URD allo-HSCT).for children and adolescents with severe aplastic anemia(SAA).Methods Clinical data of34 SAA children and adolescents undergoing allo-HSCT were retrospectively analyzed from October 2001 to October 2015.According to the source of donor,the
