- * Conducted in April and June 2019, it analyzed data from 27 out of 738 pediatric intensive care units, finding that 74% of patient-days included therapist-provided mobility.
- * Key factors influencing mobility included increased family presence, which improved out-of-bed activities, while barriers like lack of physician orders hindered mobilization on 27% of patient-days.

Purpose: Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is an important cause of complications in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs). Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) could be an alternative to central venous catheters (CVCs) and the effect of PICCs compared with CVCs on CLABSI prevention is unknown in PICUs. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate whether PICCs were associated with a protective effect for CLABSI when compared to CVCs in critically ill children.
