AbstractPericardiocentesis is usually an easy and uncomplicated procedure when guided by cross-sectional echocardiography, but an abnormal intracardiac or extrapericardial position of the puncture system can occur, especially in children. Injection of echo contrast medium through the puncture needle is a very sensitive, quick, easy and harmless procedure which can be performed at the bedside in all cases in which doubt remains concerning the location of the needle. Prompt enhancement of signal intensity of the peri-cardial fluid validates the correct intrapericardial position, and permits visualization of the tip of the needle. Absence of echodense formations excludes an intrapericardial position. We recommend the use of echo contrast medium during pericardiocentesis whenever blood is aspirated through the needle, or if there is any doubt concerning its location.

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
