Outcome of anatomical versus non-anatomical lung resection for necrotizing pneumonia in children.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the characteristics, complications and outcomes of necrotizing pneumonia (NP) requiring surgical intervention.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of all children who underwent surgical therapy for NP from January 2010 to December 2023. Patients were analyzed based on two surgical approaches: anatomic resection (AR) or non-AR (NAR).

Postextubation dysphagia in critically ill children: A prospective cohort study.

Introduction: Postextubation dysphagia (PED) is reported mainly in adults and is associated with poor outcomes. However, data on pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) patients are scarce. We aimed to assess the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes associated with PED in a PICU population.

Does admission time matter in a paediatric intensive care unit? A prospective cohort study.

Aim: Studies assessing the association between admission time to paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and mortality are sparse with conflicting results. We aimed to evaluate the impact of time of admission on PICU mortality within 48 h after admission.

Methods: This was a single-centre prospective cohort.

Severe liver and renal injuries following cerebral angiography: late life-threatening complications of non-ionic contrast medium administration.

Introduction: Contrast-induced nephropathy requiring dialysis support is rarely reported, whereas severe liver injury after contrast agent administration has not been described in children yet.

Clinical Case: A previously healthy 10-year-old boy with diagnosis of cerebral arteriovenous malformation underwent a cerebral angiogram study with iohexol (3 mL/kg). After 4 days, he developed vomiting and abdominal pain.
