Effect of the Veinlite PEDI2 and distraction on peripheral catheter insertion-related emotional behavior... "This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a Veinlite PEDI2 and passive VR distraction on the first attempt at PIC insertion success, duration of insertion, emotional behavior, pain, fear, and anxiety associated with PIC insertion in children aged 4-10 years in the pediatric emergency department" Can and Özalp Gerçeker (2024).

Utah injury attorney | 40 years experience | Utah Business Magazine Utah Legal Elite 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014
Four Ways to Prove Brain Injuries Are Serious and Worthy of Compensation 1. A life care planner with brain injury experience can create a picture of future care needs for your client. Some life care planners have obtained certification in this area. A Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) is a healthcare professional specializing in the care and rehabilitation of individuals who have experienced brain injuries. 2. Demonstrative evidence can be very helpful to show what has happened in the brain at microscopic levels. Prominent San Francisco torts lawyer, Melvin Belli believed the most important task in every case, was to make use of demonstrative evidence to show the way to a successful result and never to just tell anything that could be shown also. Use diagrams of the brain, models of how the brain works or videos to explain the injury. For examples of how video can be used effectively to showcase brain injury, see the Portfolio section of the website of DK Global (dkglobal.net). 3. Your experts will need to explain that the injuries will likely continue to affect your client for the rest of her life. Specifics as to how her life will be affected are invaluable. Much solid research is to be found in medical literature and this can be obtained by an experienced legal nurse consultant or other medical professional and included in your doctor’s reports. For example, according to a report by forensic neuropsychologist Dr. Timothy R. Kockler, PhD, traumatic brain injured patients are at a higher risk for emotional and behavioural disturbances. Dr. Kockler cites a study of TBI patients by Leon Carrion et al. (2009) which found that: “... 48.6 % of traumatic brain injured patients fulfil the criteria that classifies them as depressive and of these, 65% are at clinical risk to commit suicide (33.3 % of the total of TBI patients)....” Dr. Kockler provided additional support with a study from Tsaousides et al. (2011) which concluded “[i]ndividuals with TBI from all demographic groups and with injuries of varying severity are at risk for SI [suicidal ideation] and thus for emotional distress and suicidal behaviour.” Dr. Kockler’s research also found TBI patients to be at greater risk of seizure activity, citing Annegers and Pasternak-Coan (2000) which found that the relative risk of seizures after TBI to be 1.5 after mild injuries, 2.9 after moderate injuries and 17.2 after severe injuries. Significant risk factors included brain contusion, subdural hematoma, skull fracture and loss of consciousness. 4. A vocational consultant can provide an employability evaluation and income capacity evaluation which will allow a projection of future lost income. This post was excerpted from materials I prepared for a National Business Institute national live virtual seminar on Monday, December 11, 2023, titled Traumatic Brain Injury Cases 101: Plaintiff, Defense, and Doctor Perspectives.

💚 March is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month and today (March 25th) is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day 💚 Daniel O'Connor and I decided to team up with our friends at Tobii Dynavox to bring you this video showcasing some of the common stigmas I (and others with nonverbal CP) experience when interacting with someone for the first time 🗣🗨 We hope that this video will help people understand how to treat people who have nonverbal cerebral palsy... 👉🏻JUST LIKE YOU WOULD ANYONE ELSE! 🤝💚 🚫Just because someone is nonverbal does not mean they cannot understand🚫 I use my TD Pilot eye-tracking device to communicate and showcase my vibrant personality to the world! 👀🗨🌎 We understand these types of interactions are well intentioned and stem from people being unaware. The goal of this video is to raise awareness in a fun and engaging way. People shouldn't feel ashamed if they have interacted like this with someone before, because it's the intention that matters. Even though we may not like these types of interactions, we know they are coming from a good place. Hopefully our message combined with people's already existing good intentions will create a better interaction for both parties 🫶 🙏Please help us spread the word and destroy these force fields by sharing this video!!🙏 #NationalCerebralPalsyAwarenessDay #CerebralPalsy #CommonSigmas

🌟🌟🌟 Breaking Down Barriers: Let's Celebrate National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month! 🌟🌟🌟 💚 March 25th, marked National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day, and what better way to honour this important occasion than by shedding light on some common stigmas and misconceptions surrounding nonverbal cerebral palsy? 🗣️🗨️ Bradley Heaven and Daniel O'Connor created a video that dives deep into the experiences of individuals, like Bradley, who navigate the world with nonverbal CP. They're on a mission to foster understanding and empathy, one interaction at a time! 🤝💚 In this video, they're not just raising awareness; they're breaking down walls and showing that communication comes in many forms. Whether it's through speech, gestures, or innovative assistive devices like Daniel's TD Pilot eye-tracking system, every individual deserves to be heard and valued. 👀🗨️🌎 Sometimes, interactions can feel a bit awkward or uncertain, especially when encountering something new. But here's the thing: just because someone communicates differently doesn't mean they don't understand or deserve the same respect and consideration as anyone else. 🚫 The aim of this video isn't to shame or blame, but to educate and empower. We should equip everyone with the knowledge and tools to foster meaningful connections, free from misconceptions and barriers. After all, isn't that what it's all about? So, they have asked their LinkedIn community to join them in spreading this message far and wide. Share their video, spark conversations, and work together to dismantle those force fields of misunderstanding and ignorance. Together, we can create a world where every voice is heard and every individual is valued. 🙏 Let's make a difference, one interaction at a time. 💪💚 #CerebralPalsyAwarenessMonth #BreakTheBarriers #EmpathyMatters

#patientengagement can take many forms. It’s particularly important when young children, and the families that care for them, face dire medical situation and the often impossible choices that come with them. Small tools like this can make a big difference in the day-to-day for many rare disease patients and families.
A Great Initiative in Pediatric Care I wanted to share something that recently caught my attention and truly resonated with me. The LEGO Foundation is donating LEGO® MRI Scanners to hospitals worldwide, aiming to make MRI scans less intimidating for children. As someone who values innovative approaches in healthcare, I find this initiative both simple and profound. It's incredible how a playful tool like a LEGO MRI Scanner can provide comfort and understanding to young patients. This project, which started as a passion project by a LEGO employee, Erik Ullerlund Stæhr, is a great example of how creativity and empathy can make a real difference in healthcare. For my colleagues in radiology: this could be a great addition to your department. It’s a small change, but it could significantly improve the experience for our younger patients. I applaud the LEGO Foundation for their thoughtful contribution to pediatric healthcare. It's initiatives like these that inspire us to keep finding new ways to care for our patients. #PediatricCare #HealthcareInnovation #LEGO #MRI | the LEGO Group

Children differ fundamentally from other patient groups in terms of their emotional and cognitive needs. Our holistic approach includes child-friendly preparation for an imaging procedure and helps reduce the stress level significantly. ↪ Gerda, the brave giraffe🦒, supports our youngest patients in preparing for an examination and accompanies them during the #CT scan itself. ↪ MINITOM Kids, a child-sized model scanner, allows children to become familiar with the scanning process through interactive exploration. Features such as a movable table, interactive noise-making buttons, and a tunnel under the scanner help to transform the scanning process into a positive and engaging experience.
