RESUMO

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The increasing prevalence of overweight and obese children and adolescents has been recognized as a public health threat worldwide. This study aimed to assess the effect of a stepwise lifestyle intervention in children and adolescents. METHODS: We developed a multidisciplinary clinic aimed at providing lifestyle interventions for obese children and adolescents. The program comprised three stages with stepwise goals: knowledge building (the first 4 weeks), habit consolidation (5-12 weeks), and self-monitoring (13-20 weeks). RESULTS: Of the 63 participants (age 11.6 ± 3.2 years) who entered the first stage of the program, 48, 22, and 15 completed the first, second and third stages (4, 12, and 20 weeks), respectively. In the first stage, significant improvement was noted in body weight, body mass index (BMI), BMI z-score, and waist circumference. Improvements in physical fitness performance were observed at 4 weeks in 3/5 items and at 12 weeks in 4/5 items. The decreases in body weight, BMI and BMI z-score were most prominent in the first two stages. In the third stage, participants maintained a stable body weight. In the 15 subjects who completed the whole program, BMI decreased from 29.3 ± 6.9 to 27.8 ± 6.1 (P = 0.001), and BMI z-score decreased from 3.06 ± 0.96 to 2.69 ± 0.91(P = 0.001). CONCLUSION: We developed a feasible multidisciplinary program based on knowledge education and individualized training. BMI and physical fitness scores can be used as early indicators of lifestyle change for obese children and adolescents.

RESUMO

Background: In children with non-shockable out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, early epinephrine (EE) might help to establish the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and be associated with survival. In the present study, we aimed to analyze the effects of EE on outcomes and post-resuscitation hemodynamics in children with non-shockable OHCA. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of data from 216 children (<19 years) who had suffered non-traumatic and non-shockable OHCA and received epinephrine for resuscitation (Jan 1, 2006-Dec 31, 2014). Demographics, pre-/in-hospital information, and the time to the first dose of epinephrine were recorded. Early post-resuscitation hemodynamics (the first hour after sustained ROSC), survival and good neurological outcomes (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category Scales 1 or 2) were analyzed by the time to epinephrine-classified as early (EE): <15 min, intermediate (IE): 15-30 min, or late (LE): >30 min. Results: Twenty-eight (13.0%) children survived to discharge, but only 17 (7.9%) had good neurological outcomes. In all, 41 (18.9%) children received EE; in comparison to IE and LE, this was significantly associated with tachycardia (73.9%) in the post-resuscitation period (p < 0.05). Tachycardia (OR: 7.41, 95% CI: 1.96-29.31) and hypertension (OR: 6.03, 95% CI: 1.85-13.77) were significantly associated with EE after adjusting for confounding factors. EE was also significantly associated with better overall outcomes than ME and LE (any ROSC, sustained ROSC, survival to the intensive care unit, admission, survival to discharge and good neurological outcomes, all p < 0.05). Conclusions: EE helped to establish ROSC but was also associated with more tachycardia and hypertension in the early post-resuscitation period. In children with non-traumatic and non-shockable OHCA, EE was associated with a higher survival rate and better neurological outcomes than were ME and LE.

RESUMO

Pulseless electrical activity (PEA) can rapidly transform into sudden cardiac death, if the etiology cannot be identified and corrected immediately. The clinical challenge is how to resuscitate the patient with prolonged PEA. We present a case of a 51-year-old man with PEA due to acute myocardial infarction caused by total occlusion of the main coronary artery, which was refractory to prolonged conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was initiated approximately 75 minutes after prolonged cardiopulmonary resuscitation; this achieved a sustained return of spontaneous circulation, which permitted adequate time for subsequent coronary intervention. He was discharged on day 16 without any further sequelae or neurologic deficits.
