Compliance with antibiotic therapy guidelines in french paediatric intensive care units: a multicentre observational study.

Background: Bacterial infections (BIs) are widespread in ICUs. The aims of this study were to assess compliance with antibiotic recommendations and factors associated with non-compliance.

Methods: We conducted an observational study in eight French Paediatric and Neonatal ICUs with an antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP) organised once a week for the most part.

Post traumatic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis in children: A retrospective and multicenter study.

Context: Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare but life-threatening condition in the pediatric population and there is no pediatric guidelines regarding anticoagulation for post traumatic CSVT.

Objective: This study aims to describe a cohort of children with post traumatic CSVT and the use of anticoagulant therapy in this population.

Methods: A multicenter retrospective study.

Continuous Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalography During Neonatal and Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.

Purpose: Early prognostication of neurologic outcome in neonates and children supported with extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is challenging. Amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) offers the advantages of continuous monitoring and 24-hours availability at the bedside for intensive care unit providers. The objective of this study was to describe the early electrophysiological background patterns of neonates and children undergoing ECMO and their association with neurologic outcomes.
