Objective: To establish the incidence and factors associated with hospital-acquired hyponatremia in pediatric surgical patients who received hypotonic saline (sodium 40 mmol/L plus potassium 20 mmol/L) at the rate suggested by the Holliday and Segar's formula for calculations of maintenance fluids.
Design: Prospective, observational, cohort study.
Setting: Pediatric intensive care unit.
Objective: To determine the agreement between venous oxygen saturation in right atrium (Srao2) and pulmonary artery (Svo2) in critically ill pediatric patients.
Design: Retrospective, observational study.
Setting: Multidisciplinary pediatric intensive care unit from a general university hospital.
Internal mammary artery injury after central venous catheterization.
Pediatr Crit Care Med
September 2007
Objective: We describe an infrequent but potentially lethal complication: an iatrogenic injury of the internal mammary artery after central venous catheterization.
Design: Report of cases.
Setting: Pediatric intensive care unit.
Objective: Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2) is an up-to-date mortality prediction model in the public domain that has not yet been widely validated. We aimed to evaluate this score in the population of patients admitted to our pediatric intensive care unit.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Objective: To assess the association between neurologic out-come and the alterations of jugular venous oxygen saturation (SjvO2) or the increase in arteriovenous difference of lactate content (AVDL) in children with severe traumatic brain injury.
Design: Observational prospective cohort study.
Setting: Multidisciplinary pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital.
