Aim: T2Bacteria® Panel detects six ESKAPE pathogens in around 3.5 h directly whole blood. Our aim was to compare T2Bacteria with simultaneous blood culture critically ill children suspected bloodstream infection. Materials & methods: Retrospective study of admitted our tertiary-care center (2018–2020). Results: A total 60 patients were recruited, including 63 episodes and 75 T2Bacteria/blood cultures performed. Overall agreement between 78.7% a discordance 21.3% (16/75 samples). Conclusion:...
Early diagnosis of invasive Candida infections is a challenge for pediatricians, intensivists, and microbiologists. To fill this gap, new nanodiagnostic method has been developed using manual application T2 nuclear magnetic resonance to detect species. The aim study was evaluate, prospectively, the usefulness as tool T2Candida panel in pediatric patients admitted at PICU compared with blood culture.This prospective, observational, unicentric compare results simultaneous cultures candidemia...
Noninvasive respiratory support is commonly used in treatment of bronchiolitis. Determinants failure are needed to prevent delayed intubation.We conducted a prospective observational pilot study infants admitted pediatric ICU. Diaphragmatic excursion (dExc), diaphragmatic inspiratory/expiratory time, and thickening fraction (dTF) were recorded at admission, 24 h, 48 h both hemidiaphragms.Twenty-six subjects included (14 on HFNC 12 NIV) with total 56 ultrasonographic evaluations. Three...
This is a prospective, multicenter, and observational study with the aim of describing physiological characteristics, respiratory management, outcomes children acute hypoxemic failure (AHRF) from different etiologies receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) compared those affected by SARS-CoV-2.Twenty-eight patients met inclusion criteria: 9 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) 19 without COVID-19. Non-COVID-19 had more pre-existing comorbidities (78.9% vs. 44.4%) than COVID-19...
Aims & Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic lots of campaigns on social media have been designed to encourage people stay at home in order reduce incidence new infections. The aim this study is describe a case diagnostic delay severe illness due fear viral transmission when visiting healthcare facility during pandemic. Methods: Setting: A pediatric intensive care unit tertiary hospital Madrid, Spain. Design: descriptive report. Results: We an 8-year-old child who visited his primary...
Aims & Objectives: To evaluate ultrasonographic diaphragm contractile activity indices role in infants with moderate-severe bronchiolitis supported HFNC or NIV to predict the need of IMV. Methods: Prospective observational study infant (<6 m) placed on 16-bed PICU (October 2018-March 2019). Both hemidiaphragms ultrasound asessment diaphragmatic excursion (dEx), inspiratory time, and fraction thickening (dTF = (thickness at end-inspiration --thickness end-expiration) / thickness...
Objetive: To evaluate the ultrasonographic contractile activity indices of diaphragm in infants with moderate and severe bronchiolitis supported high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) or non-invasive ventilation (NIV) to predict need invasive mechanical (IMV). Methods: Prospective observational study admitted a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). Diaphragmatic excursion (dEx), diaphragmatic inspiratory (dTi) expiratory time (dTe), fraction thickening (dTF) were recorded at admission, 24 h 48 both...
