Cardiac Arrhythmias and Dysfunction in the Pediatric Burn Patient
- Conditions
- Cardiac Dysfunction
- Registration Number
- NCT03085420
- Lead Sponsor
- Shriners Hospitals for Children
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to collect information about how often an abnormal heart beat happens in children who have been burned.
- Detailed Description
The investigators hope to learn the following:
* If heart arrhythmias are more common in children with a large burn injury than in children with a small burn injury.
* The difference in development of a heart arrhythmia after a large burn injury by comparing information from children with large burns who do and do not develop a heart arrhythmia.
* A better understanding of the length of a hospital stay, the number of operations, and the number of care complications in patients with heart arrhythmias after a burn injury.
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- TERMINATED
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 10
Pediatric burn patients from age 0 - 18 who have sustained a burn injury will be eligible for this study.
Group 1 will consist of patients with ≥30% TBSA burn injury. Group 2 will consist of patients with <30% TBSA burn injury who develop a cardiac abnormality.
Patients with pre-existing cardiac disorder, desquamative skin disorders and electrical injury.
Study & Design
- Study Type
- INTERVENTIONAL
- Study Design
- FACTORIAL
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Frequency of cardiac dysfunction in pediatric burn patients Through study completion up to 4 years after hospital discharge. Results of echocardiograms will be compared between patients with cardiac dysfunction versus those without cardiac dysfunction.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acute care hospital length of stay Hospital admission to discharge (average of 1 day per %TBSA burn - example 30 days for a 30% TBSA burn injury). Hospital length of stay (admission date to discharge date) will be compared between participants with cardiac dysfunction versus participants without cardiac dysfunction.
