The Sandwich Generation Of Aging Parents With Dementia: An Occupation-Based Caregiver Program, Gabrielle Amaya, Lisa Griggs-Stapleton, Kylee Hall

Summer 2023 Virtual OTD Capstone Symposium

Despite the high prevalence of caregiver burnout, caregivers’ needs are unrecognized because the focus is on caregiver quality of life, experience, or service utilization (Frankenstein & Jahn, 2020). This program aims to identify ways to provide specific support to promote caregiver ADL participation through the use of a web-based training and education program.

Delirium On Admission To The Cicu, Spencer Wittmeyer, Jaime Silva-Gburek, Kelly S. Tieves

Posters

Background: Delirium is increasingly recognized in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) with an incidence up to 67% and is associated with worse outcomes including increased mortality, prolonged hospitalization, and increased rates of intubation and mechanical circulatory support. The Cornell Assessment for Pediatric Delirium (CAPD) is the only validated tool for the diagnosis of delirium in the pediatric population. The CAPD may be limited in children with developmental disabilities as it does not account for baseline ability in scoring. Prior work has identified low specificity for the CAPD in children with developmental disabilities and those requiring mechanical ventilation. This …

Identification Of Critical Illness-Related Corticosteroid Insufficiency After Congenital Heart Surgery With Next Generation Sequencing, Juan S. Farias, Nicholas Diehl, Lori A. Erickson, Jenny Marshall, Nataliya Kibiryeva, Kelly S. Tieves, Jorge Cross-Bu, Jaime Silva-Gburek

Posters

Introduction: Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) which is characterized by relative inadequate cortisol levels in relation to increased demand during periods of severe stress is common after cardiac surgery and is a cause of hemodynamic instability. The purpose of this study was to identify possible genetic abnormalities related to CIRCI in pediatric patients after congenital heart surgery. Methods: Single-center retrospective study of neonates who underwent cardiac surgery between August 2018 to July 2020. We included patients who had obtained postoperative cortisol levels and next gen DNA-sequencing (NGS) as previous standard of care. Analysis methods are displayed in Figure 1. Results: …

An Unusual Cardiomegaly Culprit: Case Report Of A Hemodynamically Significant Portosystemic Shunt, Zoetta L. Mcloughlin Md, Melanie Kathol, Amanda Mcintosh

Posters

Background: Cardiomegaly discovered in the fetal or neonatal period may be the first sign of cardiac disease. However, the differential diagnosis for cardiomegaly with a structurally and functionally normal heart includes cardiomyopathies as well as non-cardiac etiologies, including extracardiac shunt lesions and vascular malformations, among others. Thus, unexplained cardiomegaly requires further investigation for extracardiac anomalies. In this case, we focus on an unusual etiology of diffuse cardiac dilatation – intrahepatic portosystemic shunt – that was initially misdiagnosed as dilated cardiomyopathy. Case Description: A 9-year-old male with history of learning difficulty and tall stature was seen for follow-up of diffuse cardiomegaly …
