: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) has emerged as a possible first-step treatment to avoid invasive intubation in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) due to its advantages in reducing intubation-associated risks. However, the timely identification of NIV failure is crucial to prevent adverse outcomes. This study aims to identify predictors of first-attempt NIV failure in PICU patients by testing various machine learning techniques and comparing their predictive abilities.

An interactive tablet application (app), PediAppRREST, was developed to reduce guideline deviations during pediatric cardiac arrest.
Objective: To assess the effectiveness of PediAppRREST in improving the management of simulated in-hospital pediatric cardiac arrest.
Background: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) management in neonatal age opens important questions. We aimed to describe the evolution over time of subclinical hypothyroidism diagnosed in the first three months of life in a population of full-term neonates.
Methods: A single-center longitudinal retrospective cohort study in a tertiary care center was conducted.
Background And Importance: Pediatric cardiac arrest is a rare emergency with associated high mortality. Its management is challenging and deviations from guidelines can affect clinical outcomes.
Objectives: To evaluate the adherence to guideline recommendations in the management of a pediatric cardiac arrest scenario by teams of pediatric residents.
