Article Synopsis
- ICU delirium, a serious condition, is common in babies under 6 months old and can lead to worse health outcomes.
- A study tested a special method called the Preschool Confusion Assessment Method to see if it can effectively find delirium in these young infants.
- The results showed that this method is a good way to check for delirium, with nearly half of the babies in the study showing signs of it.
Purpose Of Review: We briefly review post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and the morbidities associated with critical illness that led to the intensive care unit (ICU) liberation movement. We review each element of the ICU liberation bundle, including pediatric support data, as well as tips and strategies for implementation in a pediatric ICU (PICU) setting.
Recent Findings: Numerous studies have found children have cognitive, physical, and psychiatric deficits after a PICU stay.
Since the advent of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) over 40 years ago, there has been increasing interest in the use of the extracorporeal circuit as a platform for providing multiple organ support. In this review, we will examine the evidence for the use of continuous renal replacement therapy, therapeutic plasma exchange, leukopheresis, adsorptive therapies, and extracorporeal liver support in conjunction with ECMO.
