INTRODUCTION: Children health reflects the national and wealth. Today's children are tomorrow's citizens. A well developed child contribution to the National welfare and children are the priceless resources of the Nation. They are the most vulnerable group in the society. Respiratory illnesses are common in children under 5 years of age. Most children will develop three to eight colds a year. This number even is higher in children who attend day care or are exposed to Tobacco smoke. In this age 2 group are due to respiratory problems, including asthma and pneumonia.2 AIM: The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of steam inhalation with tulsi leaves along with turmeric versus steam inhalation with plain water to relieve respiratory symptoms of nasal congestion among children admitted in pediatric department of GGSMH, Faridkot, Punjab. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A quantitative research approach and quasi experimental pre test post test design was used and 60 children were selected through Convenient sampling. Structured interview schedule was used for collection of data. RESULTS: The results of the study revealed that mean difference and SD in experimental and control groups related to beneficial effects of steam inhalation on respiratory symptoms of nasal congestion among children is 23.76 ± 4.59 of Experimental group and 30.46 ± 6.50 of Control group for which t value is 4.60 at df 58 with p value 0.000. Thus, there is significant reduction in the respiratory symptoms of nd nasal congestion at the end of 2nd day in the experimental group as compared to control group. CONCLUSION: Steam inhalation with tulsi leaves along with turmeric is an effective home remedy in relieving the respiratory symptoms of nasal congestion among children as compared to the steam inhalation with plain water.

INTRODUCTION: Acute respiratory infection (ARI) in under-five children is one of the main public health problem in India. Every year ARI in young children is responsible for an estimated 3.9 million deaths worldwide. AIM: To assess the effectiveness of medicated hypertonic saline nebulisation v/s medicated normal saline nebulisation among children with lower respiratory tract infections. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Experimental approach with two group pre and post test design was used. 60 children with random allocation divided into 2 groups (30 in medicated hypertonic saline group and 30 in medicated normal saline group) up to the age of 10 years suffering from lower respiratory tract infections were selected who were meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both groups had nd received nebulisation thrice a day and post test 1 was taken on evening of 2 day and post test 2 was th taken on evening of 4 day. The standardized scale clinical severity score was used to assess severity of respiratory distress. RESULTS: The results revealed that clinical variables i.e. respiratory rate, wheezing, retractions and general condition of the children was significantly improved with the use of medicated hypertonic saline nebulisation as compared to medicated normal saline nebulisation. CONCLUSIONS: Medicated hypertonic saline nebulisation is more effective in stabilizing clinical variables than medicated normal saline nebulisation among children with lower respiratory tract infections. So, it should be implemented in paediatric ward to improve recovery of the children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTRODUCTION: Meconium passage in newborn infants is a developmentally programmed event normally occurring within first 24-48 hours of birth. The meconium staining of amniotic fluid occurs in 12% of all live births per annum. The use of gastric lavage in MSAF babies has been advocated in many hospitals as a part of the conventional treatment without any supporting evidence. Therefore the investigator decided to study if gastric lavage reduces occurence of feeding problems in neonates born with meconium stained amniotic fluid. AIM OF THE STUDY: To assess the effectiveness of gastric lavage in preventing feeding problems in neonates born with Meconium Stained Amniotic Fluid admitted in NICU, GGS Medical Hospital, Faridkot, Punjab. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Quasi-experimental approach with non-randomized control group design was used. Conceptual framework for the study was adopted from Ludwig Von Bertalanffy (1968) General System Model. Through purposive sampling, total 60 subjects were enrolled for the study. 30 subjects were given gastric lavage immediately after birth whereas remaining were given only conventional care. Data was obtained by observation checklist and was analyzed and interpreted through the descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS: The result revealed that there was significant reduction in feeding problems after giving gastric lavage in experimental group. The independent t-test value was 6.1959 that is found to be statistically significant at p value <0.05 for feeding problems in experimental group. The study showed that there is no association of feeding problems with selected demographic variables. CONCLUSION: Gastric lavage is highly effective in preventing feeding problems in neonates born with meconium stained amniotic fluid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Distraction techniques are often provided by nurses, parents or child life specialists and help in pain alleviation during procedures. The use of non pharmacological procedures to cope with pain behaviour is less costly and most of these procedures can be administered by a nurse. Hence, the aim of the present study was to assess and compare the analgesic effect of holding the child by a family member versus holding the child by a family member along with an animation distraction intervention on the level of pain perception during venipuncture in children up to seven years of age. Materials and Methods: Purposive sampling technique was used to select 70 children admitted in paediatric ward of Guru Gobind Singh Medical Hospital, Faridkot, 35 children in each group viz. Group 1(child held by family member during venipuncture) and Group 2 (child held by family member along with an animation distraction during venipuncture) and video clippings were made for each subject in both groups. Standardized FLACC pain scale was used to assess the level of pain during venipuncture by seeing the video clips of procedure in both groups. Results: Findings revealed that the mean pain score of Group 1 was 3.86 and that of Group 2 was 2.43. Findings revealed that in Group 1 majority 31(88.57%) got severe pain and none remained relaxed during venipuncture whereas in Group 2 majority 10(28.58%) got moderate pain, 09(25.71%) remained relaxed and only 07(20%) got severe pain. The comparison of mean pain score of both groups was checked statistically by computing independent t-test and the value of t comes out to be 7.199 with p-value 0.000*** which was found to be highly significant. Conclusion: The study concluded that when during painful procedures like venipuncture if children are given any non-pharmacological intervention like animated distraction along with their family member it helps in managing the pain. In other words, it distracts/diverts the child's attention from pain and results in better cooperation of child during procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTRODUCTION: The importance of first five years of child for growth and development is well-known. Any adverse influence operating on children during this period e.g. malnutrition may result in severe limitations in their development some of which are irreversible. Health and malnutrition problem during childhood are the result of associated range of factors, most of which particularly in unprivileged populations are related to unsatisfactory food intake or severe repeated infection or combination of both. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A descriptive study was conducted in Paediatric OPD of Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital, Faridkot on 400 under five children and their biological parents. Malnutrition among children was assessed by using anthropometric measurement, clinical observation and haemoglobin estimation and self-structured checklist was used to assess the associated causes of Malnutrition. RESULTS: The Prevalence of malnutrition among under five children as per IAP classification criteria was 17.25% out of that 7.2% were grade 1 malnourished, 5.5% were grade 2 malnourished, 3.8% were grade 3 malnourished and 1% has grade 4 malnutrition. As per WHO classification of weight for age 81.25% were having normal nutritional status, 10.25% were underweight, 8.0% were severely malnourished, and 0.25% were overweight and obese. As per the WHO classification height for age 85.5% were having normal nutritional status, 11.25% children were stunted and 3.25% were severely malnourished. As per the WHO classification of weight for height 80.0% children were having normal nutritional status, 12.5% were wasted and 7.5% were severely wasted and the prevalence of anaemia among under five children was 4.3%. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that the prevalence of anaemia among under five children was 4.3%. There are a number of causes associated with malnutrition, some of which are, families do not have food availability from family garden, babies were not put on breast feed soon after birth, mothers do not wash fruits and vegetables before cutting, and children were not on exclusive feeding for six month and so on. Thus there should be screening programmes or facilities for the children so that malnutrition can be detected and treated at the earliest. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

INTRODUCTION: Intravenous or peripheral infusions means introduction of large amount of fluid into the body via veins. Peripheral infusion is a stressful procedure for children. It is estimated that over 80% of all children entering hospital to receive I/V therapy experience minor problems. It also can lead to life threatening conditions like phlebitis etc. Phlebitis is inflammation of a vein. Symptoms of phlebitis are warmth, swelling, pain, and redness around the vein. Childhood is more vulnerable for phlebitis which may lead to infections and complications that adversely affect health status of child so the intervention should be done early to avoid infection and to prevent complications. AIM OF THE STUDY: To assess the efficacy of Hot Fomentation, Glycerine Magnesium Sulphate Paste & Ichthammol Glycerine application in the treatment of peripheral infusion induced phlebitis among children. MATERIAL & METHODS: Purposive sampling technique was used to select 60 (20 for Hot Fomentation, 20 for Glycerine Magnesium Sulphate Paste application, 20 for Ichthammol Glycerine application) children suffering from peripheral infusion induced phlebitis. Assessment of severity of phlebitis was measured by Visual Infusion Phlebitis Chart. Data was analyzed by using both one way ANOVA {Posthoc (Tukey) Analysis} and Repeated Measures ANOVA has been used in all three groups. RESULTS: The findings revealed that when mean phlebitis scores of all the interventions were compared, On Day 1(E) and Day 2(M) there was no statistical significant difference in these interventions. Whereas, the mean difference of phlebitis score between Hot Fomentation and Ichthammol Glycerine was found to be significant on Day 2(E). On Day 3(M), the mean difference of phlebitis score between Hot Fomentation and Ichthammol Glycerine was found to be highly significant and the mean difference of phlebitis score between Glycerine Magnesium Sulphate Paste and Ichthammol Glycerine was found to be significant. On Day 3(E), the mean difference of phlebitis score between Hot Fomentation and Ichthammol Glycerine was found to be highly significant & the mean difference of phlebitis score between Glycerine Magnesium Sulphate Paste and Ichthammol Glycerine was found to be significant. CONCLUSION: Ichthammol Glycerine is most efficient in the treatment of peripheral infusion induced phlebitis in children followed by Glycerine Magnesium Sulphate Paste and Hot Fomentation.
