Article Synopsis
- Lung ultrasound could be a valuable tool in predicting the severity of lung disease and the need for extended ventilatory support in critically ill children.
- In a study involving 538 children in the ICU, those requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation (over 7 days) had significantly higher lung ultrasound scores at 12 and 48-72 hours post-admission.
- The lung ultrasound score demonstrated a strong correlation with oxygen levels and was effective in predicting prolonged mechanical ventilation, showing high accuracy in both initial assessment and multivariable analysis.
Background: The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of sedation administration on clinical parameters, comfort status, intubation requirements, and the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) length of stay (LOS) in children with acute respiratory failure (ARF) receiving noninvasive ventilation (NIV).
Methods: Thirteen PICUs in Spain participated in a prospective, multicenter, observational trial from January to December 2021. Children with ARF under the age of five who were receiving NIV were included.
Introduction: The optimal intake to improve protein metabolism without producing adverse effects in seriously ill infants has yet to be established. The aim of our study was to analyse whether an increased protein intake delivered through enteral nutrition would be associated with an improvement in nitrogen balance and serum protein levels in critically ill infants.
Methods: We conducted a multicentre, prospective randomized controlled trial (December 2016-June 2019).
Deaf children with additional disabilities (AD+): CODEPEH recommendations.

November 2023
Approximately 40% of children with deafness have an additional developmental disorder or major medical problem, which may delay the age of diagnosis of hearing loss and/or require intervention by other professionals. This situation is referred to as "deafness with added disability" (AD+). The reason why the population of hearing-impaired children is more likely to have associated added disabilities is that the risk factors for hearing impairment overlap with those for many other disabilities.

More importantly, no new MIS-C or myocarditis occurred after a median of 10 weeks (range 5.
