Virtual Neonatal Resuscitation Curriculum for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) to Improve Out-of-Hospital Newborn Care.

Prehosp Emerg Care

January 2025

Department of Emergency Medicine, Oregon Health & Science University, Oregon Health and Science University, 3181 SW Sam Jackson Park Rd Portland, OR 97239.

Objectives: Out-of-hospital births are associated with a 2-to 11-fold increased risk of death compared to in-hospital births and are growing. Emergency Medical Services (EMS) clinicians have limited exposure to hospital birth emergencies, and there is no standardized prehospital neonatal resuscitation curriculum. Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) guidelines are the standard of care for infants born in the United States but focuses on in-hospital births and is not easily applied to EMS.

Article Synopsis
  • This study developed a machine learning ensemble model for monitoring valproic acid (VPA) in pediatric epilepsy patients to improve clinical accuracy in treatment.
  • The model utilized data from 252 patients, using various algorithms like Gradient Boosting Regression Trees and Random Forest Regression, achieving high relative accuracy (87.8%) and low error rates.
  • Key factors affecting VPA levels included platelet count and daily dose, indicating the model's potential to enhance clinical decision-making in VPA management.

Evaluating post-cardiac arrest blood pressure thresholds associated with neurologic outcome in children: Insights from the pediRES-Q database.

Resuscitation

December 2024

Department of Pediatrics, Division of Critical Care Medicine, Kravis Children's Hospital, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, 1184 5th Ave, New York, NY 10029, USA.

Background: Current Pediatric Advanced Life Support Guidelines recommend maintaining blood pressure (BP) above the 5th percentile for age following return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after cardiac arrest (CA). Emerging evidence suggests that targeting higher thresholds, such as the 10th or 25th percentiles, may improve neurologic outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the association between post-ROSC BP thresholds and neurologic outcome, hypothesizing that maintaining mean arterial pressure (MAP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) above these thresholds would be associated with improved outcomes at hospital discharge.

Community-onset pediatric status epilepticus: Barriers to care and outcomes in a real-world setting.

Epilepsia

December 2024

U.O.C. Neuropsichiatria dell'età Pediatrica, Member of the ERN EpiCare, IRCCS Istituto Delle Scienze Neurologiche di Bologna, Bologna, Italy.

Objective: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency in childhood, often leading to neuronal damage and long-term outcomes. The study aims to identify barriers in the pre-hospital and in-hospital management of community-onset pediatric SE and to evaluate the effectiveness of pediatric scores on outcomes prediction.

Methods: This monocentric observational retrospective cohort study included patients treated for community-onset pediatric SE in a tertiary care hospital between 2010 and 2021.
