Project Description:

Ambrus’s interest is in pediatrics and he works at Semmelweis University, Second Department of Paediatrics. His first project is a systematic review and meta-analysis about the effectiveness and safety of protocolized sedation in the pediatric intensive care unit. Sedation practice has not been updated in the past 8 years, and 50% of patients who are admitted to the intensive care unit are ineffectively sedated. Inadequate sedation increases the risk of adverse events. As for the second project, he aims to plan an observational study about sleep and circadian rhythm in the pediatric intensive care unit. The objective of their observational study is to describe the circadian rhythms and measure the quality and quantity of sleep in the pediatric intensive care unit using actigraphy. He also aims to investigate their impact on short- and long-term psychological outcomes.
