Can central venous access device care bundles and regular feedback reduce central line-associated complications in pediatric patients?
Chanapai Chaiyakulsil, Onsuthi Pharadornuwat
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2021;64(3):123-129.   Published online July 14, 2020
Question: Can central line bundles and feedback reduce central line-associated complications in pediatric patients?
Finding: The central line-related bloodstream infection rate decreased from 10.0 catheter-days to 1.4/1,000 catheter-days at 6-month postintervention. The central line occlusion rate was also decreased.
Meaning: Reinforcing central line care bundles with direct feedback can significantly decrease central line-associated complications in pediatric patients.
Distribution and Expression of Kainate(KA) Receptor Subunits in Moderate Hypoxic Newborn Piglet Brain
Chun Hyuk Chang, Woo Taek Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(12):1651-1660.   Published online December 15, 1999
Purpose : The mechanism of hypoxic damage is mainly intracellular influx of calcium ions through the glutamate ionotropic receptor. This study was performed to determine alterations in distribution and expression of kainate receptor subunits after 1 hour of moderate hypoxia in the newborn piglet brain, as in a condition of mild to moderate perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Methods : Ten newborn piglets...
Distribution and Expression of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole-propionic acid(AMPA) Receptor Subunits in Moderate Hypoxic Newborn Piglet Brain
Na Yeon Kim, Woo Taek Ki
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(2):239-248.   Published online February 15, 1999
Purpose : The mechanism of hypoxic damage is mainly intracellular influx of calcium ions through the glutamate ionotropic receptor(NMDA, AMPA/kainate). This study was performed to determine alterations in distribution and expression of AMPA receptor subunits after 1-hour of moderate hypoxia in the newborn piglet brain, in a state of mild to moderate perinatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Methods : Ten newborn piglets were...
The Effect of Bundling on Neonatal Body Temperature
Ja Kyoung Lee, Eun Jung Kim, Hea Kyoung Lee, Young Hee Yu, Hyun Sook Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(1):26-32.   Published online January 15, 1998
Purpose : Fever in newborn might be an indicator of serious bacterial infection. Differentiating environmental from disease-related temperature elevations in newborn is clinically important, because neonate with environment-related temperature elevation might be subjected to an unnecessary work-up to detect occult disease. But there are exists no consistent conclusions about environmental effect in previous literatures. We prospectively evaluated the effect of...
Case Report
Two Cases of Double-Chambered Right Ventricle by Abnomal Muscle Bundles
Hye Young Kang, Jung Il Noh, Jung Yun Choi, Yong Soo Yun
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(5):712-717.   Published online May 15, 1994
The double-chambered right ventricle is congenital or acquired cardiac anomaly, which is characterized by aberrent hypertrophied muscular bands that divide the right ventriclar cavity into two different pressure chamber. This anomaly can complicate the natural history of patient with isolated ventricular septal defect. We experienced two cases of acquired DCRV, which confirmed by two separate cardiac catherterization and angiography. The purpose...

A Study on Serum Creatinine and BUN Levels in Newborn Infants.
Shin Chung Jee, Chang Soo Ra
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1985;28(8):741-750.   Published online August 31, 1985
The concept of renal function in the neonate has been that the developing kidney is immature and that glomerular and tubular functions are low for body size as compared with the adult. Authors determined the serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels of cord blood in 57 newborn infants(42 normal full-term and 15 premature infants) with gestational age of...
Clinical and Hemodynamic Characteristics of Double Chambered Right Ventricle.
Seok Chol Jeon, Seung Ro Lee, Heung Seok Seo, Sam Hyun Kim, Hurn Chae, Kun Ho Kim, Seung Jae Yang, Hahng Lee, Heung Jae Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(10):982-990.   Published online October 31, 1984
During the period from May 1981 to Feb. 1984, authors experienced 15 cases of double chambered right ventricle (D.C.R.V.) at Hanyang University Hospital. Among these 15 cases of D.C.R.V., 13 cases were confirmed by open heart surgery. We analysed the physical characteristics and echocardiographic, cardiac catheterization, angiographic and operative findings. Results are as follows; 1) Authors observations suggest that right ventricular obstructing...
Serum Levels of Protein, Urea Nitrogen, Uric Acid, Creatinine and Serum Amylase Activity in Normal School Children.
Suck Pill Cho, Byung Wha Park, Hyung Suk Byun, Kyung Reyong Huh, Chull Sohn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1982;25(2):148-152.   Published online February 28, 1982
Protein, and essential nutrient for the growth of children, is the chief nitrogenous substant in the serum of humans. For the purpose of establishment of the normal data for evaluation of nitrogen balance, we examined the serum levels of urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid and serum amylase activity as well as that of protein in 560 normal school children. The...
