Madeleine Niermeyer
Position: Lead Paediatric Clinical Research Nurse
madeleine.niermeyer@ncrc.ie
Role:
Madeleine is the lead Paediatric Clinical Research Nurse and is based in the Emergency Department at CHI at Crumlin. She is the Study Coordinator for the MAGPIE clinical trial which is assessing the efficacy and safety of Methoxyflurane analgesia for paediatric injuries.
Ellen Barry
Position: Paediatric Clinical Research Nurse
Role:
Based in the Emergency Department in CHI at Crumlin, Ellen is currently working alongside her clinical and research colleagues on the MAGPIE trial.
Prospective clinical intervention study. The primary aim is to describe the relationship of ketones at triage to level of dehydration. The secondary aim is to describe 1. the relationship between POC ketones/ ketone clearance and ED admission rate 2. the relationship between POC ketones and presenting symptoms 3. the relationship between ketone clearance & fluid/glucose intake 4. the relationship between ketone clearance & serum glucose on discharge
This citywide prospective non-intervention study investigates the current safety helmet and safety equipment usage in an ‘at risk’ paediatric population owing to the nature of their presentation to the ED with injury acquired off a wheeled recreational device
Despite the widespread concern, there is little published evidence to inform the most appropriate methods for reducing emergency department attendances and hospital admissions for children with complex care needs and much of the evidence that does exist is of poor methodological quality. There is a need for high-quality, well-conducted research and any future service improvement should be implemented in such a way as to allow objective evaluation. Prospective non-intervention study.
This prospective quantitative project will allow us to inform educational needs, develop workforce planning, identify areas in need of guideline development and improve care pathways for these children.
The aim of this multinational multisite study (PERUKI affiliated) is to develop a database of infants presenting with suspected skull fractures.
A PERN endorsed study to examine and compare, by visual & numeric bibliometric analysis, the Global PEM literature to the literature generated by PERN & affiliated Research Networks
This study aimed to describe the presentations of patients ≥16 years to the PED of a tertiary hospital. Patient demographics, presenting complaint, diagnosis, treatment and disposition were recorded.
The purpose of this research study is to create tools to identify which children with a lung infection (called pneumonia) might get worse or better over time using children from pediatric emergency departments from all over the world. Approximately 12-24 months. Since there will likely be a staggered start with 100 sites around the globe, we anticipate that total data collection will take no more than 24 months with all sites contributing 12 months of data at staggered start dates. Primary Aim 1. To identify predictors of disease severity in pediatric CAP, including the need for hospitalization, empyema, respiratory failure, sepsis and death, in a large, global cohort of EDs. Primary Aim 2. To develop a clinical prediction rule that would accurately identify children with CAP who are at risk for low, moderate and severe disease. Sub Aim 2. To assess the predictive accuracy of this rule for clinically important outcomes, including empyema, respiratory failure, sepsis, and death.
