The purpose of this report is to describe the international growth, outcomes, complications, and technology used in pediatric extracorporeal life support (ECLS) from 2009 2015 as reported by participating centers Extracorporeal Life Support Organization (ELSO). To date, there are 59,969 children who have received ECLS ELSO Registry; among those, 21,907 since with an overall survival hospital discharge rate 61%. In 2009, 2,409 cases were performed at 157 centers. By 2015, that number grew...
Background Necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most common and fatal intestinal disorders in preterm infants. Breast-fed infants are at lower risk for NEC than formula-fed infants, but protective components human milk have not been identified. In contrast to formula, contains high amounts complex glycans. Objective To test hypothesis that oligosaccharides (HMO) contribute protection from NEC. Methods Since intervention studies unfeasible due limited availability HMO, a neonatal rat...
The management of infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) receiving extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is complex. Significant variability in both practice and prevalence ECLS use exists among centers, given the lack evidence to guide decisions. purpose this report review existing develop recommendations for CDH patients treated ECLS. This article was developed by Extracorporeal Life Support Organization interest group cooperation members Study Group Children’s Hospitals Neonatal...
Despite advancements in minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE), Nuss procedure, postoperative pain control remains challenging. This report covers a multimodal regimen using bilateral single-shot paravertebral block (PVB) and thoracoscopic intercostal nerve (T3-T7) cryoablation, leading to significant reduction length stay (LOS) high rate same-day discharge.This is comparative study management protocols for patients undergoing the procedure at single center from 2016 through...
Although enterocytes are capable of innate immune responses, the intestinal epithelium is normally tolerant to commensal bacteria. To elucidate mechanisms tolerance, we examined effect preexposure LPS on activation p38, c-Jun, and NF-kappaB in by several inflammatory stress stimuli. Shortly after initial challenge, become restimulation with or CpG DNA, but not IL-17 UV. The state which lasts 20-26 h, temporally coincides LPS-induced expression anti-inflammatory ubiquitin-editing enzyme A20....
Background/Objective: Recent studies show the minimally invasive approach to repair of esophageal atresia (EA) and tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is feasible. This study aimed evaluate efficacy safety thoracoscopic versus open techniques. Methods: We performed a retrospective review EA/TEF cases from June 2000 July 2006. Patient characteristics, operative time, blood loss, duration narcotic usage, time extubation, first oral feeding, length stay, complications, follow-up were analyzed....
Electric bicycles (e-bikes) achieve higher speeds than pedal bicycles, but few studies have investigated the impact on injury rates specific to pediatric population. Utilizing National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), we compared of for e-bikes, and gas-engine (mopeds) from 2011 2020.Descriptive bivariate inferential analyses were performed upon NEISS estimates e-bike, bicycle, moped injuries in children aged 2-18 years. Analyses stratified by patient age helmet usage. The...
