Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Net Promoter Score (NPS) in measuring parental satisfaction in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) in Brazil.
- The research involved interviewing 78 parents or guardians of PICU patients and comparing NPS results with the established EMPATHIC-30 tool, finding that NPS was highly sensitive but lacked specificity in identifying dissatisfied respondents.
- While the NPS showed 100% sensitivity at most cutoff points, its ability to accurately pinpoint unhappy users was significantly limited, indicating a need for complementary assessment methods.
Aim: We evaluated the influence of early fluid overload on critically ill children admitted to a paediatric intensive care unit by examining mechanical ventilation (MV), mortality, length of stay and renal replacement therapy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study covered January 2015 to December 2016 and focused on all episodes of MV support that exceeded 24 hours. The fluid overload percentage (FO%) was calculated daily for the first 72 hours and we estimated its effect on outcomes.
