Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how effectively different aerosol delivery systems (aerosol adapter vs. aerosol circuit) deliver bronchodilators through high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) across neonatal, pediatric, and adult models.
- Inhaled lung doses varied by age group, with adults receiving the highest doses, while neonates showed similar results between systems, but the aerosol circuit was slightly better for older children and adults.
- The findings highlight that current aerosol delivery methods have low lung doses (1-5%) and suggest a need for improved systems to enhance treatment efficacy for patients on HFNC.*
Background: There is limited evidence supporting an optimum method for removing mucus from the airways of hospitalized infants with bronchiolitis. This study was designed to evaluate short-term physiologic effects between nasal aspiration and nasopharyngeal suctioning in infants.
Methods: Sixteen infants requiring hospitalization for supportive management of bronchiolitis were instrumented with transcutaneously measured partial pressure of carbon dioxide ([Formula: see text]) and [Formula: see text] monitoring.
Objectives: To determine the interrater reliability of the Cornell Assessment of Pediatric Delirium Screening Tool amount PICU nurses.
Design: The design was setup as a cross-sectional study and conducted over the course of a year.
Setting: This study setting was a PICU and a pediatric cardiac ICU at Seattle Children's Hospital, a tertiary freestanding university-affiliated hospital in Seattle, Washington.
