Objective: The aim of this study was to find out the effectiveness of amniotic membrane graft dressing in the treatment of superficial partial thickness burn in children. Methods: The retrospective study was conducted on the patients admitted with superficial partial thickness burn in the burn unit of Dhaka Shishu Hospital age 0-12 years, during the period from January 1999 to December 2011. All of them treated with amnion membrane graft dressing. Results: Total 370 patients were included in this study. Mean age was 2.76 years. Amnion dressing suppresses bacteria in the wound as well as reduced infection. Amnions have good adherent characteristics, which reduced infection as well as reduction of oozing of plasma from the wound, that become dry early. It has a role on burnt pain reduction, Frequency of dressing change, rate of healing, cost, duration hospital stay. Conclusion: Our experience showed that amniotic membrane is one of the effective biological skin substitutes used in burn wounds, with efficacy of low bacterial counts, has advantageous of reducing protein loss, electrolytes & fluids. Decreasing the risk of infection minimizing pain, accelerate of wound healing and good handling properties. It is ready available does not present immunological problem and allergies response. It is cost effective and very helpful for developing countries. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v14i1.22875 Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.14 (1); Jan 2015; Page 22-25

This article explores how music therapy can help to normalize the hospital environment for pediatric patients regardless of their acute or long-term status. Many different facets of how normalization can be utilized through music therapy are explained, as well as some case examples to further demonstrate these circumstances. The main concept of this article is to reflect upon how normalization of the hospital environment, via music therapy, may provide pediatric patients with an opportunity to explore their healthy selves rather than focusing on their illness or medical ailments. Case vignettes are also provided to enlighten the many facets of normalization and show how music therapy may offer unique ways of accessing feelings of normalization.

Reconstructive Option

Dog bite avulsion injuries of the head and neck are difficult to manage in pediatric patients. This study assesses the outcomes of using porcine urinary bladder extracellular matrix (UBM) for reconstruction of these complete avulsion injuries. Five male pediatric patients underwent reconstruction using UBM. Two (40%) patients underwent reconstruction of the nose; the other 3 patients underwent reconstruction of the forehead, forehead/glabella, and auricle. The average size of the avulsion defect was 7.0 ± 2.4 cm2. No patient developed wound dehiscence, graft loss, or wound infection. Four (80%) patients received pulsed dye laser treatment to improve wound cosmesis. Use of UBM is a safe and effective reconstructive option after dog bite avulsion injuries of the head and neck. Given the advantages of convenient availability and avoidance of donor site morbidity, UBM can be considered for reconstruction of posttraumatic avulsion injuries or Mohs defects.

Without Bone Graft

An alternative method of bone grafting for pediatric posterior cervical and occipitocervical fixation is presented in detail. Full-thickness autografts from small craniectomies of the occipital bone are used to augment posterior segmental fusion in pediatric patients. Twelve patients have been treated successfully without bone graft donor site complications. The technical differences from previously reported uses of calvarial autograft in spine fusion are reviewed.

Objective The purpose of this study is to determine whether a Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block can reduce donor site morbidity among pediatric patients undergoing iliac crest bone grafting for repair of their alveolar cleft. Design This retrospective cohort study was carried out at the Division of Dentistry at the Montreal Children's Hospital. Medical charts of patients who underwent alveolar cleft bone grafting between January 2011 and January 2021 were reviewed and they were divided into two groups, intraoperative TAP block and intraoperative local anesthesia infiltration (control group). The outcomes measured were patients’ post-operative pain at the donor site, in-hospital narcotics requirements and length of stay. Results A total of 66 patients were included. There were no significant differences in pain scale among the TAP group and control group [1.9 (SD 2.5) and 1.3 (SD 2.1), respectively ( p = 0.23)]. The mean length of stay for both groups was 1 day. Interestingly, there was a significant higher proportion of patients who required in-hospital opioids (morphine) in the TAP block group when compared to the control group ( p = 0.03). Conclusions The results of our study suggest there may be no role for a TAP block in reducing pain and improving opioid stewardship.
