Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess a nurse-driven protocol for ending respiratory support in infants with bronchiolitis in pediatric intensive care units.
- A total of 187 infants were analyzed, revealing no significant difference in weaning failure rates, but the nurse-driven approach resulted in later discontinuation of ventilatory support and a shorter weaning duration compared to the previous method.
- Overall, while the timing of discontinuation changed, the total ventilation time and lengths of stay in the PICU and hospital remained similar between the two approaches.

Article Synopsis
- Polysomnography (PSG) is the standard method for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children, but a new digital solution using a mandibular jaw movement (MJM) sensor has been tested as a potential alternative.*
-
- This study examined the effectiveness of MJM automated analysis to detect remaining apnea/hypopnea events in children aged 5 to 18 with severe OSA treated with noninvasive ventilation or continuous PAP therapy.*
-
- Results showed that MJM analysis had a strong correlation with PSG, indicating it could serve as a reliable option for monitoring sleep apnea events in pediatric patients undergoing treatment.*
