Introduction: Pediatric patients often receive vasoactive agents following cardiothoracic surgery or when in shock. The use of vasoactive agents varies between different settings and has largely changed because of anecdotal observations or small observational studies. Although vasoactive agents are frequently used, there are limited studies in pediatric populations comparing them to one another.

Patients with a greater than 20% TBSA were identified in the TriNetX research network and categorized into receiving or not receiving NSAIDs in the first week after the burn. The statistical significance of the rate of burn-induced coagulopathy, mortality and sepsis in the week following injury was analysed.

- Diastolic heart failure in pediatric patients is rare, representing only 0.5% of critically ill children, with a 5% mortality rate found in a study of 2,273 admissions from 2016 to 2021.
- The research analyzed various factors, including age, comorbidities, and medications, finding that milrinone and ACE inhibitors may lower mortality rates, while older age and diuretics correlate with shorter hospital stays for survivors.
- The study emphasizes the need for more targeted data on pediatric diastolic heart failure, given the limited existing research primarily focused on adult cases.
