Sponsored by Shriners Hospitals for Children · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The purpose of this study is to collect information about how often an abnormal heart beat happens in children who have been burned.
The investigators hope to learn the following:
885 studies on the registry are indexed under Arrhythmias, Cardiac; 235 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 10 is below the median of 99 across 429 interventional studies indexed under Arrhythmias, Cardiac.
Browse Arrhythmias, Cardiac studies →Shriners Hospitals for Children is the lead sponsor of 56 studies on the registry; none are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
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.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with pre-existing cardiac disorder, desquamative skin disorders and electrical injury.
For patients in Group 1 with ≥30% TBSA, a baseline Echocardiogram (ECHO) will be obtained approximately one week from admission and monthly (+/- 1 week) or at an interval determined by cardiology during the acute inpatient stay. ECHO tests will be discontinued after 3 negative exams or when discontinued by cardiology, whichever comes first.
Diagnostic Test: Echocardiogram
For patients in Group 2 with \<30% TBSA and presence of a cardiac abnormality standard clinical care appropriate for the type of arrhythmia will be followed.
A baseline Echocardiogram test (ECHO) will be done one week from admission and monthly (+/- 1 week) or as ordered by a cardiologist.
Also known as: ECHO
Frequency of cardiac dysfunction in pediatric burn patients
Results of echocardiograms will be compared between patients with cardiac dysfunction versus those without cardiac dysfunction.
Time frame: Through study completion up to 4 years after hospital discharge.
Acute care hospital length of stay
Hospital length of stay (admission date to discharge date) will be compared between participants with cardiac dysfunction versus participants without cardiac dysfunction.
Time frame: Hospital admission to discharge (average of 1 day per %TBSA burn - example 30 days for a 30% TBSA burn injury).
