Pediatric Critical Care Medicine - Published Ahead-of-Print
Objectives: To compare levetiracetam and phenytoin as prophylaxis for the short-term development of status epilepticus (SE) during care of pediatric patients with acute severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design: Nonprespecified secondary analysis using propensity score matching. Setting: We used the Approaches and Decisions...
Objectives: The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is the most frequently used monitoring assay for bivalirudin in children and young adults on mechanical circulatory support including ventricular assist devices (VADs) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). However, intrinsic variability of the aPTT complicates management and...
Objectives: Multicenter studies reporting outcomes following tracheostomy in children with congenital heart disease are limited, particularly in patients with single ventricle physiology. We aimed to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes in a multicenter cohort of patients with single ventricle physiology who underwent tracheostomy before...
Objectives: Analysis of the clinical utility of rapid whole-genome sequencing (rWGS) outside of the neonatal period is lacking. We describe the use of rWGS in PICU and cardiovascular ICU (CICU) patients across four institutions. Design: Ambidirectional multisite cohort study. Setting: Four tertiary children’s hospitals. ...
Objectives: High driving pressure (DP, ratio of tidal volume (Vt) over respiratory system compliance) is a risk for poor outcomes in patients with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). We therefore assessed the time course in level of DP (i.e., 24, 48, and 72 hr) after starting mechanical ventilation (MV), and its association...
Objectives: To compare high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) versus nasal prong bubble continuous positive airway pressure (b-CPAP) in children with moderate to severe acute bronchiolitis. Design: A randomized controlled trial was carried out from August 2019 to February 2022. (Clinical Trials Registry of India number CTRI/2019/07/020402). ...
