[Early mobilization in critically ill pediatric patient with ventilatory support. Experience of a high complexity center].

In the pediatric intensive care units (PICU) from our region, early mobilization (EM) in patients requiring ventilatory support is an underreported activity. For this reason, we emphasize the need for epidemiological research that allows us to know the characteristics of this relevant activity in the evolution of critically ill patients. Objective: describe the population, time of onset and frequency which MT is performed in patients who received ventilatory support in a PICU of a public pediatric hospital of Latin America.

[Predictors of upper airway obstruction following extubation in critically ill children].

Unlabelled: Upper airway obstruction after extubation is a serious complication that can lead to extubation fai lure and other unfavorable outcomes in children.

Objective: to describe the incidence and risk fac tors associated with post-extubation upper airway obstruction in critically ill children.

Patients And Method: A prospective descriptive observational study was carried out in a pediatric intensive care unit in Argentina over two years.

Prevalence of extubation and associated risk factors at a tertiary care pediatric intensive care unit.

Introduction: Extubation failure (EF) is associated with a higher risk for pneumonia, hospital stay, and mortality.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of EF and identify the associated factors in our population.

Materials And Methods: Observational and retrospective design.
