Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has not shown any signs of ending soon. Until May 1, 2020, the latest data recorded that Covid-19 cases in the world have reached 3,336,680 cases, with 235,245 people died and 1,054,786 people recovered. Of  the number of still-active cases, 98% are mild cases, while the remaining 2% are severe. Since it was first identified (December 2019) until it was announced as a pandemic on March 11, 2020), cases of children have not escaped the effects of infection.

Abstract

Background: Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) in children tend to have milder clinical manifestation. However, some develop critical conditions and require mechanical ventilation in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Various modalities are recommended for mechanical ventilation, such as High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC), Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), or invasive ventilation with intubation. This study aims to describe the clinical feature, ventilation modalities usage, and the outcome of children with critical COVID-19. Methods: This is a retrospective study in COVID-19 children with respiratory distress who were treated in the COVID-19 isolation PICU room of Saiful Anwar General Hospital for one year. The data was gained from the medical record and analyzed descriptively. Data were analyzed using Ms. Excel for Windows. Results: A total of 51 children with COVID-19 were admitted to Saiful Anwar general Hospital in one year period, with 12 of them in critical condition and 6 children require mechanical ventilation. The main signs developed were fever and dyspnea. Invasive mechanical ventilation applicated in 5 patients, and only 1 patient received Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV). The mean of PEEP used in invasive ventilation is 7-9 cmH2O, lower than ESPNIC’s recommendation of 8-10 cmH2O. Length of ventilator usage is 2-21 days, with 2 patients passed away, both with a comorbid and organ system injury. Conclusion: The mechanical ventilation setting must be determined individually based on the patients’ condition, despite several guidelines providing the recommendation.

Abstract

Climate change that contributes to the destruction of the earth is one of the impacts of human behavior. One example of damage to the earth due to human behavior is global warming. One of the effects of global warming is the melting of permafrost. Melting of glaciers due to global warming will result in an isostatic rebound phenomenon, where melting glaciers will cause the weight of the earth's crust to decrease and it is easy to move and bounce, resulting in the movement of earth faults and increased activity in the magma chamber (increased seismic activity). The big impact is the occurrence of natural disasters that not only occur in parts of the world where glaciers melt but in other parts of the world far from where glaciers melt. Natural disasters that can occur are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and landslides. Global warming will also have an impact on the emergence of disease outbreaks. Indonesia is the meeting place of three major tectonic plates in the world, namely the Eurasian plate, the Indo-Australian plate and the Pacific plate. In addition, Indonesia is also located in the Pacific ring of fire, making Indonesia an area with high volcanic activity and seismic activity. Climate change will increase the risk of disasters in Indonesia. The long experience of the Indonesian people in dealing with natural disasters that often occur should be used as a strategy to prevent and reduce the impact of disasters in the future.

Abstract

Background: The population that in a high risk to have a svere COVID-19 infection is children. The difficulties can influence the risk of controlling their hygiene and be worsened by the immaturity immune system, especially in children with comorbidities. Moreover, this problem needs to be prioritized in children. Despite in worldwide spread of severe COVID-19 infection, there are limited data regarding severe COVID-19 disease in children. Thus, we investigated the effects of comorbidities as risk factors for clinical outcomes in paediatric patients with COVID-19. Methods: This comprehensive literature review was from the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases through January 2021. The keywords used to obtain the literature include “COVID-19”, “coronavirus”, ” pediatric”, ”children”, ”severity”, ”comorbidity”, ”mortality”, ”death,” and “intensive”. The article with the inclusion criteria was involved. The information about the COVID-19 severity and underlying comorbidities in children were the main criteria that were enrolled. Results: The severe clinical risk factors in paediatric patients with COVID-19 that are reported most often are chronic lung disease (including asthma) (4312 critical patients), obesity (1007 critical patients), diabetes mellitus (815 patients), cardiovascular disorders (677 patients) and neurological disorders (542), prematurity (183 patients) and immunosuppression conditions including malignancy (143 patients). Other conditions in the form of hematological disorders, airway abnormalities, malnutrition and gastrointestinal disorders can also contribute to the clinical severity of paediatric COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: Children with underlying diseases such as obesity, chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, and neurologic disease had a higher risk of severe COVID-19 than children without comorbidities.

Abstract

Climate change has a close relationship with the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect is needed by the earth, but if there are too many greenhouse gases in the atmosphere this will increase the earth's temperature. Children are a group of people who have a high vulnerability to climate change. Climate change will affect children's health through 4 impacts, namely direct impacts on children's health, impacts on children's health through ecosystems, impacts on children's health through human behavior, and health impacts on children due to natural disasters. To anticipate the impact of climate change on children's health, parents and the government must take anticipatory steps so that children can be saved from the extreme dangers of climate change.

Abstract

Adequate pain management is an important and common requirement in health care in pediatric intensive care units. There are many pain assessment scales in children based on the literature, but the guidelines for using pain scales as a guide in pain management have not been widely discussed. One of the most common pain interventions is to provide opioid or non-opioid analgesics. Analgesic drugs given to critically ill children can provide different anti-pain outcomes when measured by a pain scale. Therefore, this literature review will compare the effectiveness of analgesics in pain management in critically ill children.

Abstract

Introduction: Children with Congenital Heart Disease are at high risk of feeding and growth problems. Nutrition practices for children with CHD still vary widely across institutions, including breastfeeding. This study aims to conduct a critical review to compare the effects of breastfeeding versus formula on the growth of infants with congenital heart disease. Methods: The article search was conducted online using the PubMed, EBSCO, and ProQuest databases with the keywords “Congenital Heart Disease,” “Human Milk,” “Formula,” and “Growth.” Result: Two articles were obtained in the form of systematic review studies. Results of the study stated that in infants with CHD with breastfeeding compared to formula milk Weight for age score is better with breastfeeding because breast milk is easier to digest Conclusion. Breast milk has been shown to have significant benefits on the growth of infants with CHD compared to formula, especially in terms of weight-for-age z-score.

Abstract

Introduction. The clinical benefit of peptide-based formulas remains controversial in critically ill children. Objective. To conduct a critical review to compare the effects of peptide-based versus standard polymeric formulas on feeding tolerance and whether this would affect outcomes in critically ill children. Methods. An online search was conducted using PubMed, Cochrane, and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) databases using the keywords “Peptide-based Formula,” “Standard Formula,” “Critically ill Children,” and “Enteral Feeding.” Results. Three articles were found: a case-control study and two prospective cohort studies. The results of the case-control study suggested that critically ill patients receiving peptide-based formulas showed significant reductions in feeding disturbances and abdominal distension and achieved full enteral feedings sooner compared with patients receiving standard formulas. The results of the first prospective cohort study showed that the peptide-based formula was better tolerated than the standard formula in children after bowel surgery, and the second study stated that choosing the peptide-based formula as the first prescription for enteral nutrition was associated with higher severity of clinical conditions in patients. Conclusion. The peptide-based formula was better tolerated than the standard polymeric formula in critically ill pediatric patients.
