- THE BACTERIAL MENINGITIS SCORE TO DISTINGUISH BACTERIAL FROM ASEPTIC MENINGITIS IN CHILDREN FROM SAO PAULO, BRAZIL(2013) MEKITARIAN FILHO, Eduardo; HORITA, Sergio Massaru; GILIO, Alfredo Elias; ALVES, Anna Claudia Dominguez; NIGROVIC, Lise E.In a retrospective cohort of 494 children with meningitis in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the Bacterial Meningitis Score identified all the children with bacterial meningitis (sensitivity 100%, 95% confidence interval: 92-100% and negative predictive value 100%, 95% confidence interval: 98-100%). Addition of cerebrospinal fluid lactate to the score did not improve clinical prediction rule performance.
- Aerosolized Intranasal Midazolam for Safe and Effective Sedation for Quality Computed Tomography Imaging in Infants and Children(2013) MEKITARIAN FILHO, Eduardo; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; GILIO, Alfredo Elias; ROBINSON, Fay; MASON, Keira P.This pilot study introduces the aerosolized route for midazolam as an option for infant and pediatric sedation for computed tomography imaging. This technique produced predictable and effective sedation for quality computed tomography imaging studies with minimal artifact and no significant adverse events.
- Intranasal Dexmedetomidine for Sedation for Pediatric Computed Tomography Imaging(2015) MEKITARIAN FILHO, Eduardo; ROBINSON, Fay; CARVALHO, Werther Brunow de; GILIO, Alfredo Elias; MASON, Keira P.This prospective observational pilot study evaluated the aerosolized intranasal route for dexmedetomidine as a safe, effective, and efficient option for infant and pediatric sedation for computed tomography imaging. The mean time to sedation was 13.4 minutes, with excellent image quality, no failed sedations, or significant adverse events.
