まとめ
PICUでの小児性妄想の薬理学的な治療は,QTc延長とディストニアのような異なる有効性と潜在的な安全性に関する懸念を示しています. 証拠に基づいた小児妄想の管理にはさらなる研究が不可欠です.
科学分野:
- 小児集中治療
- 薬理学について
- 体系的検討
背景:
- 小児性妄想 (PD) は小児集中治療室 (PICU) で一般的であり,しばしば診断が不十分である.
- 長期の入院と死亡率の増加を含む有害な結果と関連しています.
- 現在の治療ガイドラインでは,薬物使用に関する証拠が限られているが,非薬理学的方法が優先されている.
研究 の 目的:
- PICUでのPDの薬理学的治療の有効性と安全性を体系的に検討する.
- 常用薬と小児の妄想の管理におけるその有効性を特定する.
- これらの薬理学的介入に関連する有害事象を評価する.
主な方法:
- PRISMAのガイドラインに沿った体系的なレビューが行われました.
- 主要なデータベース (PubMed,Embase,Scopusなど) で検索を行いました. 2024年2月までの研究について
- 対象となった研究は,PICUでPDと診断され,薬物治療を受けている小児患者 (1ヶ月から18歳) に焦点を当てた.
主要な成果:
- 283人の患者を含む10件の遡及研究が分析され,RCTは見つかりませんでした.
- クエチアピン,リスペリドン,ハロペリドールは最も頻繁に使用された薬です.
- オランザピンは1つの研究で症状の有意な改善を示したが,他の研究では傾向を示した. 副作用にはQTc延長とディストニアが含まれていた.
結論:
- PICUでのPDの薬理学的治療は,様々な有効性を示し,一部の患者で有害事象と関連しています.
- 研究の質が低いこと,サンプルサイズが小さいこと,複製の欠如が決定的な結論を妨げています.
- 小児の妄想に対する証拠に基づいた薬理学的戦略を確立するには,さらに高品質な研究が必要である.

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy
208
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Psychosis and Antipsychotic Drugs: Overview
452
The term "psychosis" refers to a spectrum of mental disorders characterized by abnormal thoughts, perceptions, and behaviors. It can manifest as mood disorders, dementia, delirium with psychotic features, substance-induced psychosis with psychotic features, brief psychotic disorder, delusional disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and schizophrenia. Among all these disorders, schizophrenia is the most common psychotic disorder, affecting 1% of the worldwide population. Psychotic...

Mania and Antimanic Drugs: Overview
318
Mania, a psychological condition characterized by elevated mood, increased energy, and reduced sleep need, is part of the bipolar disorder cycle. The exact cause of mania isn't entirely known, but it is thought to be a combination of genetic, environmental, and neurological factors. Bipolar disorder involves alternating manic and depressive episodes. Mood stabilizers like lithium, antipsychotics, and anticonvulsants help manage these episodes. Lithium carbonate is particularly effective as...

Drug Therapy

The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Antipsychotic Drugs: Therapeutic Uses and Side Effects
380
Antipsychotic drugs primarily block dopamine and serotonin receptors and cholinergic, adrenergic, and histaminergic receptors, thereby reducing hallucinations and delusions in conditions like schizophrenia. However, they can trigger unwanted extrapyramidal effects such as dystonias, Parkinson-like symptoms, and tardive dyskinesia.
Despite these side effects, antipsychotics are used therapeutically for various purposes, including managing schizophrenia, preventing nausea and vomiting, curbing...

Antipsychotic Drugs: Typical and Atypical Agents
311
Antipsychotic drugs are classified into first-generation (typical) drugs including phenothiazines; and second-generation (atypical) drugs. Chlorpromazine hydrochloride (Thorazine), a phenothiazine derivative, broadly impacts the central, autonomic, and endocrine systems. This drug, along with typical agents like haloperidol (Haldol), primarily works by antagonizing D2 receptors, thus reducing dopaminergic neurotransmission. However, typical antipsychotics can cause side effects such as sedation...
