Paediatric perfusion during pre-hospital care is a major issue in the event of life-threatening emergencies. Access, often restricted, to backup specialising in paediatrics, implies the existence of practices on protocols for the adult mobile emergency and intensive care service (Smur) in partnership with paediatricians. Paediatric perfusion practices were assessed in these teams. The results show the presence of a paediatric protocol in the adult Smur teams is not very common. Nursing practices seem to be evolving towards the recommendations, thanks to technological advances such as the use of the intraosseous device.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in critically ill children in the PICU, with incidence rates from 2.5% to 58%, impacting mortality and hospital duration. Early AKI detection is vital, but conventional hemodynamic monitoring often lacks specificity.

Objective: This study evaluates the extent of perfusion abnormalities in pediatric traumatic head injury patients by using computed tomography perfusion (CTP) and compares the efficacy of voxel based and whole brain perfusion data clinically with functional outcome scales GOSE-P and MRS.
Methodology: In this Prospective study 100 eligible patients of age group 0-15 years were enrolled. Subjects were categorized into mild, moderate and severe traumatic brain injury using GCS.

Pulmonary vascular diseases, particularly when accompanied by pulmonary hypertension, are complex disorders often requiring multimodal imaging for diagnosis and monitoring. Echocardiography is the primary screening tool for pulmonary hypertension, while cardiac MR imaging (CMR) is used for more detailed characterization and risk stratification in right ventricular failure. Chest computed tomography (CT) is used to detect vascular anomalies and parenchymal lung diseases.

Objectives: Brachial artery injury due to displaced supracondylar fracture (SC) of the humerus in children may present with pink pulseless hand (PPH), denoting a well perfused hand without radial pulse, or acute hand ischemia. Some reports state that brachial artery reconstruction is not necessary in children with persisting PPH, but the reports on long-term consequences such as intermittent claudications, growth retardation and ischemic contracture in children with pulseless hand are scarce and often misinterpreted. The objective of our analysis was to assess the long-term outcomes of children with brachial artery injury associated with SC fracture.

Introduction: Cold static storage (CSS) and normothermic ex-situ preservation are the most widely used donor heart preservation techniques worldwide. The current study compares both CSS and normothermic ex-situ preservation methods in terms of graft performance, morphologic changes, and acute immune response in an experimental model.
Method And Materials: Twenty rats underwent heterotopic abdominal heart transplantation after 2 h of CSS (group 1; n = 10) or normothermic ex-situ perfusion (group 2; n = 10).
