Diffuse axonal injury on magnetic resonance imaging and its relation to neurological outcomes in pediatric traumatic brain injury.

Objective: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI), a frequent consequence of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), presents challenges in predicting long-term recovery. This study investigates the relationship between the severity of DAI and neurological outcomes in children.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 51 pediatric TBI patients diagnosed with DAI using Adam's classification.

Feasibility of Wire-in-Needle Technique for Ultrasound-Guided Central Venous Catheter Insertion in a Pediatric ICU.

Objective For further evaluating the feasibility and safety of wire-in-needle (WIN) technique application for ultrasound-guided central venous catheter (USG-CVC) insertion in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Methods We prospectively monitored all patients who underwent central line insertion guided by ultrasound from March 2018 to March 2019. An independent nurse recorded the patient's age, gender, weight and BMI, diagnosis, indication for insertion, blood pressure state, insertion time, line size, number of pricks, and arterial punctures.
