          Abstract

          Objetivo. Conocer la opinión del personal médico del Hospital Municipal Materno Infantil de San Isidro "Dr. Carlos Gianantonio" acerca de la presencia de padres o cuidadores de pacientes durante la realización de procedimientos invasivos a los niños y las razones en que se fundamenta. Población, material y métodos. Estudio observacional transversal. Se envió una encuesta anónima y semiestructurada a los médicos que asisten a pacientes neonatales y pediátricos en nuestro hospital excluyendo a los que se desempeñan en las áreas de obstetricia, anestesia y laboratorio. Los procedimientos sobre los que se preguntó a los profesionales se clasificaron en orden creciente de invasividad: acceso endovenoso o extracción de sangre, suturas de heridas cortantes, punción lumbar, intubación endotraqueal y procedimientos relacionados con reanimación cardiopulmonar. Resultados. Cerca del 75% de los encuestados había indicado, presenciado o realizado alguno de los procedimientos durante el último mes. En general, la aceptación de la presencia de los padres en los procedimientos fue inversamente proporcional a la invasividad del procedimiento, con excepción de la sutura de heridas cortantes, que en un 76% se respondió afirmativamente. Entre los motivos más frecuentes para impedir la presencia de los padres se encontró: la ansiedad que genera en el médico que realiza el procedimiento (alrededor de 25%) y el efecto traumático que genera en los padres (alrededor de 20%). La actitud favorable hacia la presencia parental se enfocó en la posibilidad de que el padre contenga emocionalmente al niño (alrededor del 45%). No se halló correlación entre las respuestas afirmativas o negativas y la edad, el sexo, los hijos, los años de recibido o la especialidad del encuestado. Conclusiones. La mayoría de los encuestados permite la presencia de los padres en los procedimientos de baja invasividad por considerar que estos podrían contener emocionalmente al niño y excluye a los padres en los de mayor invasividad por considerar que su presencia genera ansiedad en el médico que lo realiza y es traumático para el padre.

          Objectives. To know the opinion of the medical staff at the Hospital Materno-Infantil de San Isidro "Dr. Carlos Gianantonio" about the presence of parents or other caregivers of pediatric patients when performing procedures and its rationale. Population, material and methods. Observational and cross-sectional study. An annonymous and semistructured survey was sent to physicians that assist neonatal and pediatric patients at our hospital excluding those who work in obstetrics, anesthesia and laboratory areas. The medical staff were asked about procedures which were classified based on an increasing level of procedural invasiveness: venipuncture, laceration repair, lumbar puncture, endotracheal intubation and procedures related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Results. Nearly 75% of those inquired had indicated, presenced or performed some of the procedures during the month prior to the survey. The acceptance of parental presence was, in general terms, inversely proportional to the level of the procedural invasiveness, except the laceration repair which received an affirmative answer in 75% of the cases. Among the most frequent causes to refuse parental presence we found: the physician's anxiety generated by the procedure (close to 25%) and the traumatic effect in the parents (near 20%). The favorable attitude towards parental presence was focused on the possibility of bringing parental emotional contention to the child (close to 45%). There was no correlation between affirmative or negative answers with the age, sex, number of children, years since graduation or speciality of the inquired. Conclusion. Most of the surveyed plysicians allow parental presence in those procedures of low invasiveness, considering that they could bring parental emotional contention to the child and exclude the parents during those procedures of a higher level of invasiveness, estimating that parental presence generates anxiety on the physician who performs them and is traumatic for the parents.

            Do parents want to be present during invasive procedures performed on their children in the emergency department? A survey of 400 parents.

            No large study has addressed whether parents want to be present when invasive procedures are performed on their children in the emergency department. We conducted a survey to address this question. The study used a self-administered, written survey consisting of 5 pediatric scenarios with increasing level of procedural invasiveness. Parents in an urban, teaching hospital ED waiting area were asked to participate. Of 407 persons asked to participate, 400 (98%) completed the survey. The number of parents expressing a desire to be present during a procedure performed on their child was 387 (97.5%) for venipuncture of the extremity, 375 (94.0%) for laceration repair, 341 (86.5%) for lumbar puncture, and 317 (80.9%) for endotracheal intubation. For a major resuscitation scenario, 316 (80.7%) wished to be present if their child were conscious during the resuscitation, 277 (71.4%) wanted to be present if their child were unconscious during the resuscitation, whereas 322 (83.4%) indicated a desire to be present if their child were likely to die during the resuscitation. Of the 400, 261 (65.3%) wished to be present for all 5 scenarios. Only 26 (6.5%) wanted the physician to determine parental presence in all 5 scenarios. Most parents surveyed would want to be present when invasive procedures are performed on their children. With increasing procedural invasiveness, parental desire to be present decreased. However, most parents would want to be in attendance if their child were likely to die, and nearly all parents want to participate in the decision about their presence.

              Parental presence and a sedative premedicant for children undergoing surgery: a hierarchical study.

              Although some anesthesiologists use oral sedatives or parental presence during induction of anesthesia (PPIA) to treat preoperative anxiety in children, others may use these interventions simultaneously (e.g., sedatives and PPIA). The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether this approach has advantages over treating children with sedatives alone. The child's and the parental anxiety throughout the perioperative period was the primary endpoint of the study. Parental satisfaction was the secondary endpoint. Subjects (n = 103) were assigned randomly to one of two groups: a sedative group (0.5 mg/kg oral midazolam) or a sedative and PPIA group. Using standardized measures of anxiety and satisfaction, the effects of the interventions on the children and parents were assessed. Statistical analysis (varimax rotation) of the satisfaction questionnaire items resulted in two factors that described satisfaction of the separation process and satisfaction of the overall care provided. Anxiety in the holding area, at entrance to the operating room, and at introduction of the anesthesia mask did not differ significantly between the two groups (F[2,192] = 1.26, P = 0.28). Parental anxiety after separation, however, was significantly lower in the sedative and PPIA group (F[2,93] = 4.46, P = 0.037). Parental satisfaction with the overall care provided (-0.28 +/- 1.2 vs. 0.43 +/- 0.26, P = 0.046) and with the separation process (-0.30 +/- 1.2 vs. 0.47 +/- 0.20, P = 0.03) was significantly higher among the sedative and PPIA group compared with the sedative group. PPIA in addition to 0.5 mg/kg oral midazolam has no additive effects in terms of reducing a child's anxiety. Parents who accompanied their children to the operating room, however, were less anxious and more satisfied.
