Objective: To describe the characteristics and outcomes of mechanical ventilation in pediatric intensive care units during season acute lower respiratory infections. Design: Prospective cohort infants children receiving for at least 12 hrs. Setting: Sixty medical-surgical units. Patients: All consecutive patients admitted to participating a 28-day period. Measurements Main Results: Of 2,156 units, 1185 (55%) received median 5 days (interquartile range 2–8). Median age was 7 months 2–25)....

An accurate diagnosis of septic versus reactive or autoimmune arthritis remains clinically challenging. A multi-omics strategy comprising metagenomic and proteomic technologies were undertaken for children diagnosed with presumed to advance clinical diagnoses care affected individuals. Twelve suspected prospectively enrolled compare standard tests a rapid approach. The combined bacterial 16S rRNA metagenomics, single cell transcriptomics, proteomics on knee joint fluid specimens. diagnostic...

ObjectiveTo reduce ventilator-associated infections (VARI) and improve outcomes for children.MethodsThis prospective interventional cohort study was conducted in a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) over three periods: pre-intervention, early post-intervention, late post-intervention. These children were on mechanical ventilation (MV) ≥48 h.ResultsOverall, 312 (11.9% of whom underwent tracheostomy) 6187 ventilator-days assessed. There significant reduction pneumonia (VAP) among...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most common healthcare-associated infections in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), but its definite diagnosis remains controversial. The CDC Ventilator-Associated Event (VAE) module (validated adults) constitutes a new approach for VAP surveillance.We described epidemiological characteristics PICU VAE cases, investigated possible risk factors, and evaluated 3 different sets diagnostic criteria.This study was conducted tertiary-care...

Background: Most clinical trials of sepsis treatment modalities fail at their primary objective establishing superiority over placebo when added to background standard care.While there is no definitive explanation for the high failure rate, it might be stated that our attempts insert a new therapeutic agent into care encounters severe problems with definition exactly what stage ongoing, and are criteria progression or resolution from time point onwards.Clearly need means defining steps in...

In recent years, the application of specific care bundles in ICU has been proposed as a pragmatic management strategy, and their use is now expanding into areas such haemodynamic management, delirium control infection prevention. While sedation strategy should be core element ventilatory bundles, deciding which remains to determined. The difficulty classifying ventilator-associated respiratory infections tracheobronchitis pneumonia1 impact on outcomes led Centers for Disease Control...

The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in children is a growing concern, particularly among septic patients, given the need for first-right dosing. Our aim was to determine incidence rates and factors associated with MDR-sepsis pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), using data from Spanish ENVIN-HELICS PICU registry between 2013 2019. rate MDR ranged 5.8 16.2% throughout this study period, significant increase since 2015 (p = 0.013). MDR-gram-negative (92%), EBL-Enterobacterales...
