Abstract Background The first post-COVID-19 pandemic year demonstrated an unusual bronchiolitis epidemic in both hemispheres and has been attributed to the removal of barriers implemented during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Several countries reported increase respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis, with more hospitalizations a greater need for support. We aimed evaluate consequences COVID-19 on epidemiology management severe pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) Italy. Methods...
Introduction: In pediatric patients, PICC insertion is often performed under sedation to reduce pain and anxiety, which associated with risks such as laryngospasm, apnea, hypoxia. Furthermore, it requires a anesthesiologist. The aim of our study was evaluate the VR an alternative pharmacological those overall cost. Methods: We tested immersive experience for ten children requiring PICC. To achieve this, we ran software, specifically designed healthcare setting, on commercially available...
Objective and design: Following COVID-19 infection, children can develop an hyperinflammatory state termed Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C). Lung Ultrasound (LUS) features of have been described, but data describing the LUS findings MIS-C are limited. The aim this retrospective observational study conducted between 1 March 31 December 2020, at a tertiary pediatric hospital Milano, is to describe patterns patients with verify correlation illness severity. secondary...
Surgical techniques are evolving in Pediatric Surgery, especially the area of minimal access surgery (MAS) where indications for applications expanding. Miniaturization instruments, using natural orifices, single incisions, or remotely controlled robot-assisted procedures, promises to increase benefits MAS procedures pediatrics. Many pediatric pathologies rare, and specialized surgical anesthesiologic instruments necessary manage them, defined as “orphan devices”, which development...
The initial wave of the Covid-19 pandemic has hit Italy, and Lombardy in particular, with violence, forcing to reshape all hospitals' activities; this happened even pediatric hospitals, although young population seemed initially spared from disease. "Vittore Buzzi" Children's Hospital, which is a pediatric/maternal hospital located Milan (Lombardy Region), had stop elective procedures-with exception urgent/emergent ones-between February May 2020 leave space resources adults' care. We...
Pancreatitis, in general, is a high-morbidity condition. Genetic conditions and anatomic variants are sometimes seen, especially children, where biliary etiologies alcohol less common than adults. The decision to intervene, the combined operative-endoscopic strategy, timing pose unique challenges. We report case of 10-year-old boy with PRSS1 mutation pancreatic duct duplication, discussing management reviewing recent reports Literature.

Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) treatment is still under debate and involves Intravenous Immunoglobulins (IVIG) and/or steroids. We retrospectively analysed data from the patients admitted to Our Institution during year 2020 investigate whether prompt IVIG conditions cardiac dysfunction need for support if addition of steroids different doses correlates with outcomes. Days fever, time between fever appearance treatment, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) at...
Reliable testing methods for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in children are essential to allow normal activities. Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is currently based on real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) performed nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs; concerns have been raised regarding NP swab accuracy detect the virus because potential lack cooperation patients or due general uncertainties about concordance between high and low tract...
Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are a major cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Different studies suggest that the use disinfectant caps (DCs) significantly reduces rate CRBSIs. The first purpose this study is to analyze, through an in-vitro-model, antiseptic effect DCs produced by two manufacturers; second aim assess potential differences in terms effectiveness between manufacturers' products.A know concentration thirteen different microorganisms...
Objective Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS), which causes gastric outlet obstruction and hypochloremic hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis, could pose a risk of postoperative apnea in patients. The aim this study is to evaluate the incidence babies admitted tertiary-level pediatric surgical center Milano, Italy with diagnosis IHPS 2010–2019. secondary objective factors for apnea. Methods This single-center, retrospective, observational cohort study. All patients our institution...
