There have been some significant changes regarding healthcare utilization during the COVID-19 pandemic. Majority of reports about impact pandemic on diabetes care are from first wave We aim to evaluate potential effects severity diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and new onset Type 1 presenting with DKA, also children DKA acute infection. This is a retrospective multi-center study among 997 adolescents type who were admitted 27 pediatric intensive units in Turkey between year pre-pandemic year. The...
Background In pediatric intensive care units, extubation failure following invasive mechanical ventilation poses significant health risks. Determining readiness for in children can minimize associated morbidity and mortality. This study investigates the potential role of renal near-infrared spectroscopy (RrSO2) predicting patients. Methods A total 84 patients aged between 1 month 18 years, mechanically ventilated at least 24 h, were included this prospective study. RrSO2 levels measured...
We aimed to compare automated ventilation with closed-loop control of the fraction inspired oxygen (FiO2) manual titrations FiO2 respect time spent in predefined pulse oximetry (SpO2) zones pediatric critically ill patients. This was a randomized crossover clinical trial comparing Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) 1.1 use system vs. ASV titrations. The primary endpoint percentage optimal SpO2 zones. Secondary endpoints included acceptable, suboptimal and unacceptable zones, total number...
Abstract Introduction In mechanically ventilated patients, driving pressure (ΔP) represents the dynamic stress applied to respiratory system and is related ICU mortality. An evolution of Adaptive Support Ventilation algorithm (ASV® 1.1) minimizes inspiratory in addition minimizing work breathing. We hypothesized that ASV 1.1 would result lower ΔP than measured APV‐CMV (controlled mandatory ventilation with adaptive ventilation) mode physician‐tailored settings. The aim this randomized...
We assessed the effect of a closed-loop oxygen control system in pediatric patients receiving high-flow nasal therapy (HFNO).A multicentre, single-blinded, randomized, and cross-over study. Patients aged between 1 month 18 years age HFNO for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) were randomly assigned to start with 2-h period or manual titrations, after which patient switched alternative therapy. The endpoints percentage time spent predefined SpO2 ranges (primary), FiO2, SpO2/FiO2,...
Background/aim: Hyperlactatemia is a common finding in critically ill patients and has significant prognostic implications. However, single lactate measurement not been correlated to mortality consistently. In this study, we aimed correlate the clinical efficacy of clearance for prediction pediatric intensive care unit patients. Materials methods: This retrospective observational study was performed with level >3 mmol/lt. Initial, 6th h, 24th h levels were recorded calculated using these...
Objective: To prospectively investigate the predictive value of modified Status Epilepticus Severity Score (STESS) for pediatric use (STEPSS) regarding unfavorable outcomes in short term. Methods: Patients diagnosed as status epilepticus emergency department between January 2019 and June 2021 at a tertiary center University Health Sciences, Dr. Behcet Uz Children's Hospital, were included study. The patients followed up department, neurology clinic, intensive care unit until discharge....
Abstract Oxygen is an effective treatment for any type of respiratory failure. To prevent hypoxemia and hyperoxemia, the Pediatric mechanical ventilation consensus conference (PEMVECC) recommends monitoring oxygen saturation with pulse oximetry (SpO2) in all ventilated children measuring partial arterial pressure (PaO2) moderate to severe cases. However, this may require manual adjustments inspired oxygen, which can be burdensome during high-demand periods such as current COVID-19 epidemic....
Objective: Respiratory failure is one of the most common causes mortality in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients.Adult and a small number studies have also associated driving pressure with ARDS patients, but showing relationship between patients without are inconsistent limited.This study aimed to determine whether was diagnosed as (pARDS) non-pARDS who received mechanical ventilation support due respiratory failure.Materials Methods: Mechanically ventilated were recorded if...
Introduction: Nasogastric tube (NGT) placement is a common procedure in pediatric intensive care and requires accurate verification to avoid complications.Traditional methods such as auscultation radiography pose limitations unreliability radiation exposure.The aim of this study was confirm the NGT using bedside ultrasonography (USG).Methods: A prospective conducted tertiary unit (PICU) USG positioning.The included 46 patients, with procedures ranging from November 2023 January...

The aim of this study is the evaluation a closed-loop oxygen control system in pediatric patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).
Objective: Central venous catheters (CVC) provides great convenience in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). In this study, we aimed to prospectively examine patients who underwent CVC the PICU terms of catheter types and infections Methods: We conducted our monocentric, prospective, cohort study by including between January 2019 December 2020, involving all central temporarily inserted, except port-line catheters, PICCs, indwelling (cuffed uncuffed tunnel catheters), arterial catheters....
Background:. In January 2020 a modification is applied for pediatric ventilator associated events (Ped-VAE) surveillance by Center Disease Control and Prevention. İn this study we investigate the potential impact of newly criteria determine whether adult ventilator-associated conditions (VAC), infection-related complications (İVAC) possible pneumonia (PVAP) could be patients with ped-VAE Methods:. We analyzed data between 2014 December 2019 using new criteria. compared two different...
