Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a new protocol aimed at preventing hypoglycemia in newborns, targeting 80% adherence over six months in a maternity unit.
- Overall adherence was 67.6%, with smaller neonates being at higher risk; non-adherence was primarily due to issues with early feeding.
- Despite some reluctance from staff due to increased workload, the protocol was deemed satisfactory and could benefit from a quality improvement program to enhance adherence and outcomes.
Background: The aim of the study was to analyze the weaning success, the type of weaning procedures, and weaning duration in consecutive infants hospitalized in a pediatric intensive care unit over a winter season.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit in a tertiary center. Infants hospitalized for severe bronchiolitis were included and the weaning procedure from continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), noninvasive ventilation (NIV), or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) was analyzed.
Acute epiglottis is a life-threatening disease in relation with the occurrence of an acute upper airway obstruction. Its incidence has fallen dramatically since the widespread introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine. We report the case of a 26-month-old child who was not fully immunized and presented acute upper airway respiratory distress with fever.
