Background: The 2023 International Pediatric Ventilator Liberation Clinical Practice Guidelines provided evidence-based recommendations to guide pediatric critical care providers on how to perform daily aspects of ventilator liberation. However, because of the lack of high-quality pediatric studies, most recommendations were conditional based on very low to low certainty of evidence.
Research Question: What are the research gaps related to pediatric ventilator liberation that can be studied to strengthen the evidence for future updates of the guidelines?
Study Design And Methods: We conducted systematic reviews of the literature in eight predefined Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome (PICO) areas related to pediatric ventilator liberation to generate recommendations.
Safety of primary nasotracheal intubation in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).

Background: Nasal tracheal intubation (TI) represents a minority of all TI in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The risks and benefits of nasal TI are not well quantified. As such, safety and descriptive data regarding this practice are warranted.

- This study aims to define immunocompromised-associated pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (I-PARDS) and contrast it with regular pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS).
- Data were analyzed from the PARDIE study, which included a wide dataset of children with PARDS across 145 PICUs in 27 countries.
- Findings indicate that children with I-PARDS have a higher severity of illness, increased PICU mortality, and are less likely to be extubated successfully within 28 days compared to those with regular PARDS.
Objectives: To describe our experience of using noninvasive neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NIV-NAVA) in infants with bronchiolitis, its association with the evolution of respiratory effort, and PICU outcomes.
Design: Retrospective analysis of a prospectively curated, high-frequency electronic database.
Setting: A PICU in a university-affiliated maternal-child health center in Canada.
