The main objective of this study was to describe a recent cohort of children hospitalized in PICU for asthma to identify risk factors associated with a need for respiratory support, and multiple PICU stays.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in three PICUs in Paris (intensive care units 3A Study), using medical files of children hospitalized for asthma between February 2019 and October 2020.
Article Synopsis
- Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe epilepsy disorder that begins in infancy, where sodium channel blockers can worsen seizures, making effective management crucial.
- A study conducted from 2009 to 2020 reviewed the management of prolonged seizures in DS patients, particularly focusing on intravenous phenytoin.
- Results showed that intravenous phenytoin was effective in stopping 71% of prolonged seizures without major side effects, but more research is needed to establish clear treatment guidelines for emergencies in DS.
Background: Bacterial infections (BIs) are widespread in ICUs. The aims of this study were to assess compliance with antibiotic recommendations and factors associated with non-compliance.
Methods: We conducted an observational study in eight French Paediatric and Neonatal ICUs with an antimicrobial stewardship programme (ASP) organised once a week for the most part.
