Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to evaluate the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in critically ill neonates and children across a pediatric critical care network in West France, focusing on decision-making for patients initially admitted to non-ECMO facilities.
- Over a four-year period, 8,189 children and 3,947 newborns were treated, with 8.1% of children and 9.4% of newborns requiring ECMO; most patients needing ECMO were admitted first to non-ECMO centers, and various critical conditions were noted.
- The survival rates after 28 days post-ICU were similar for patients from non-ECMO centers compared to those from ECMO centers,
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of establishing a protocol for the use of combined sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate (SBSP) (Ammonul®) to treat acute hyperammonemia. This was a retrospective, single-center study in a 24-bed medical and surgical pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in a tertiary care teaching maternal-child hospital in Canada. Inclusion criteria were age < 18 years, PICU admission between 1 January 2000 and 30 June 2016, and SBSP treatment.

Design: Prospective monocentric study.
Background & Aims: Hyperammonemia results from reduction of hepatocyte function or enzyme of urea cycle deficiency. Hyperammonemia contributes to cerebral edema that may lead to cerebral herniation. The threshold of toxicity of ammonemia is unknown.
