Objectives: Pediatric neurocritical care (PNCC) patients experience high rates of morbidity, but comprehensive follow-up is not universal. We sought to identify predictors of functional decline in these children to guide future resource allocation.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in a quaternary children's hospital pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) from July 2023 to December 2023.

Background: Research data on the extent of and protocols related to physical restraint (PR) in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) are scarce. Most previous studies in China on this topic have focused on the prevalence, reasons, and background of PR use among adult patients.

Purpose: This study was designed to delineate the application of PR and the factors associated with PR use in PICUs in China.

Introduction: Patients with cerebral hemorrhage often require a tracheal intubation to protect the airway and maintain oxygenation. Due to the use of analgesic and sedative drugs during endotracheal intubation and the opening of the glottis may easily cause aspiration pneumonia. Ceftriaxone is a semi-synthetic third-generation cephalosporin with strong antimicrobial activity against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Vitamin D levels and morbidity and mortality in very low birth weight preterm infants.

Andes Pediatr

August 2023

Departamento de Pediatría, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Concepción, Concepción, Chile.

Unlabelled: Very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm newborns lack some nutrients such as vitamin D (VD), which is important in the function and development of different systems.

Objective: To evaluate serum levels of 25-OH-VD in VLBW newborns and to describe the possible association between its deficit and frequent morbidities in this population.

Patients And Methods: Cross-sectional study of VLBW newborns (< 1,500 g and/or < 32 weeks of gestational age).

Monitoring response to prone positioning.

Curr Opin Crit Care

January 2025

Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Milan, University of Milan, Milan, Italy.

Purpose Of Review: The increasing use of prone position, in intubated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome as well as in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure receiving noninvasive respiratory support, mandates a better definition and monitoring of the response to the manoeuvre. This review will first discuss the definition of the response to prone positioning, which is still largely based on its effect on oxygenation. We will then address monitoring respiratory and hemodynamic responses to prone positioning in intubated patients.
