Abstract Background Early mobilization of adults receiving intensive care improves health outcomes, yet little is known about practices in paediatric units (PICUs). We aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with physical rehabilitation PICUs across Europe. Methods A 2-day, cross-sectional, multicentre point study was conducted May November 2018. The primary outcome therapy (PT)- or occupational (OT)-provided mobility. Clinical data on patient mobility, potential mobility...
<h3>Background</h3> System-level interventions including rapid response teams and paediatric early warning scores have been designed to support escalation of care prevent severe adverse events in hospital wards. Barriers facilitators rarely explored settings. <h3>Aim</h3> This study explores the experiences parents healthcare professionals in-hospital clinical deterioration identify factors associated with care. <h3>Methods</h3> Across 2 sites, 6 focus groups 32 participants were conducted...
To characterize chest compression (CC) pause duration during the last 5 minutes of pediatric cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) prior to extracorporeal-CPR (E-CPR) cannulation and association with survival outcomes.Cohort study from a quality collaborative including E-CPR cardiac arrest events ≥ 10 min CPR data. We characterized CC interruptions defibrillator-electrode recorded (prior cannulation) assessed between longest outcomes using multivariable logistic regression.Of 49 events, median...
To develop a trigger tool for parents and lay caregivers of children with medical complexity (CMC) at home to validate its content.
Abstract Background Internationally, there is an increasing trend in using Rapid Response Systems (RRS) to stabilize in‐patient deterioration. Despite a growing evidence base, remains limited understanding of the processes place aid early recognition and response deteriorating children hospitals across Europe. Aim/s To describe for deterioration European hospitals. Study Design A cross‐sectional opportunistic multi‐centre study, with paediatric in‐patients, descriptive self‐reported,...
The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 is the worst healthcare emergency this century, and its impact on pediatrics neonatology still largely unknown. European Society for Pediatric Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC) launched EPICENTRE (ESPNIC Covid pEdiatric Registry) international, multicenter, multidisciplinary initiative to study epidemiology, clinical course, outcomes pediatric neonatal infections. background aims are presented together with protocol details. open centers all over world, will allow...
In Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs), parent satisfaction and their experiences are fundamental to assess clinical practice improve the quality of care delivered infants parents. Recently, a specific instrument, EMpowerment PArents in THe Care-Neonatology (EMPATHIC-N), has been developed Netherlands. This instrument investigated different domains NICUs from family-centered perspective. Italy, no rigorous instruments available evaluate NICU with care. The aim this study was translate...
Hospital mortality in children who undergo stem cell transplant (SCT) is high. Early warning scores aim at identifying deteriorating patients and preventing adverse outcomes. The bedside pediatric early system (BedsidePEWS) a score based on 7 clinical indicators, ranging from 0 (all indicators within normal ranges for age) to 26. of this case-control study was assess the performance BedsidePEWS deterioration events among admitted an SCT unit. Cases were defined as events; controls all other...
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to describe the adherence Bedside Pediatric Early Warning System (BedsidePEWS) escalation protocol in children admitted hospital wards a large tertiary care children’s Italy. Methods This retrospective observational chart review. Data on frequency and accuracy BedsidePEWS score calculations, patient observations, monitoring medical reviews were recorded. Two research nurses performed weekly visits collect data scores, reviews, type vital signs...
Background: Delirium, bed immobilization, and heavy sedation are among the major contributors of pediatric post-intensive care syndrome. Recently, Society Critical Care Medicine has proposed implementation daily interventions to minimize incidence these morbidities optimize children functional outcomes quality life. Unfortunately, require important clinical economical efforts which prevent their use in many intensive units (PICU). Aim: First, evaluate feasibility safety a PICU bundle...
Family Centered Care (FCC) in Neonatal Intensive Units (NICUs) included family involvement the care process of newborns and infants. Staff perceptions FCC may influence clinical practice management strategies NICUs, with an impact on quality humanization care. The Family-Centred Questionnaire-Revised (FCCQ-R) was adapted for NICU setting, therefore FCCQ-R@it-NICU developed used present study 32 Italian NICUs. We calculated internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha correlation between...
