Level of discomfort in critically ill paediatric patients and its correlation with sociodemographic and clinical variables, analgosedation and withdrawal syndrome. COSAIP multicentre study (Phase 2).

Introduction: There are clinical and sociodemographic factors that have an impact on the comfort of the critically ill paediatric patient. The main aim of this study was to determine the level of discomfort of paediatric patients admitted to different national hospitals, and to analyse its correlation with sociodemographic and clinical variables, analgosedation, and withdrawal syndrome.

Methods: An observational, analytical, cross-sectional, and multicentre study was conducted in five Spanish hospitals.

[Continuous extracorporeal stool transport (CEST) in a preterm infant with proximal ileostomy: report of a case].

Children with ileostomy can develop short bowel syndrome (SBS), characterized by malabsorption of nutrients and consequent malnutrition. Continuous extracorporeal stool transport (CEST) consists of collecting and transporting the intestinal effluent drained from the proximal stoma to the portion of the distal intestine. Thus, intestinal flux can be maintained, while digestion and absorption approximate real physiology until defecation.
