Background: Alterations in peripheral thyroid hormone metabolism play an eminent role in the development of the euthyroid sick syndrome. Altered solvation may also lead to changes in peripheral thyroid hormones. Data on thyroid hormones in critically ill children remain unclear.
Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate thyroid hormone profile in children with sepsis as well as to assess the association between thyroid level and sepsis outcome.
Methods: An observational cohort study was conducted in 80 children with sepsis from October 2015 to January 2016 in Haji Adam Malik General Hospital. T3 and T4 level were measured on day 1 and after > 72 hours of sepsis diagnosed.
Results: We recorded length of stay in PICU, patient outcome and analysed the relationship with the chi-square test. Level of T3 and T4 were decreased on day 1 in pediatric sepsis. Of 80 subjects, 57 (71.2%) with low-level T3 and 41 (51.2%) with low T4 were found. The relationship between T3 and T4 level on day 1 with the length of stay were not found (P = 0.500; P = 0.987). There were a significant relationship between level of T3 and T4 with outcome (P = 0.0001; OR 24.706; P = 0.014; OR 3.086). Subject with normal T3 and T4 level had 24 and 3 times life chances compare to lower level.
Conclusion: The Euthyroid Sick Syndrome in children with sepsis does exist. There was a significant relationship between T3 and T4 level on day 1 with patient outcome.

Background: Early, accurate determination of disease severity in an emergency setting is paramount for improving patient outcomes and healthcare costs. Monocyte anisocytosis, quantified as monocyte distribution width (MDW), has been shown to correspond with immune dysregulation. We hypothesize that MDW is broadly associated with illness severity related to sepsis and serious infection in children.

Whilst Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) for circulatory support in patients with severe septic shock, commenced in newborn infants and children in the late 1980's, ECMO has remained a controversial treatment for adults with refractory septic shock (RSS). This is fundamentally due to differences in the predominant hemodynamic response to sepsis. In newborn infants and very young children ventricular failure called Low Cardiac Output Syndrome (LCOS) is the major hemodynamic response whilst adolescents and adults have mainly vasoplegic shock.

Introduction: Healthcare-associated infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the pediatric population and a growing problem in intensive care services. However, limited data are available on these infections in the Portuguese pediatric population. This study aimed to estimate its prevalence rate in a Portuguese pediatric intensive care unit, identifying the most frequent microorganisms and their antibiotic resistance profiles.
