Drug Dosing: Infants and Children

283
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Theory of Romantic Attachment in Adulthood

Attachment is a long-standing connection or bond with others. While Attachment Theory was conceived in developmental psychology to describe infant-caregiver bonding, it's been extended into adulthood to include romantic relationships.

Adult Stem Cells01:33

Adult Stem Cells

33.8K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce more stem cells or progenitor cells that differentiate into mature, specialized cell types. All the cells in the body are generated from stem cells in the early embryo, but small populations of stem cells are also present in many adult tissues including the bone marrow, brain, skin, and gut. These adult stem cells typically produce the various cell types found in that tissue—to replace cells that are damaged or to continuously...

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Cardiology
  • Pediatric Interventional Cardiology
  • Neonatal Intensive Care

Background:

  • Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common condition in preterm infants, potentially requiring intervention.
  • Hemodynamically significant PDAs can impact infant health and require timely management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a transcatheter PDA closure (TCPC) program tailored for preterm infants.
  • To outline a comprehensive outpatient follow-up strategy for infants undergoing TCPC.

Main Methods:

  • A multidisciplinary team approach was utilized for the care of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants.
  • TCPC was performed on 134 ELBW infants, with detailed follow-up managed by the Memphis PDA Clinic.
  • Outcomes were assessed based on respiratory support, enteral feeding tolerance, growth, and neurodevelopmental progress.

Main Results:

  • TCPC facilitated faster ventilator weaning, improved enteral feeding tolerance, and enhanced somatic growth in ELBW infants.
  • The Memphis PDA Clinic successfully provided optimal post-discharge follow-up, contributing to improved long-term outcomes.
  • TCPC led to a shorter overall hospital length of stay.

Conclusions:

  • Transcatheter PDA closure (TCPC) is a safe and effective intervention for hemodynamically significant PDAs in ELBW infants.
  • A dedicated multispecialty clinic for post-discharge follow-up is crucial for improving outcomes in this population.
