Unlabelled: The high mortality of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is partly related to fluid overload. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is used to treat pediatric patients with severe PARDS, but can result in acute kidney injury (AKI) and worsening fluid overload. The objective of this study was to determine whether the addition of CRRT to ECMO in patients with PARDS is associated with increased mortality.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective 7-year study of patients with PARDS requiring ECMO and divided them into those requiring CRRT and those not requiring CRRT. We calculated severity of illness scores, the amount of blood products administered to both groups, and determined the impact of CRRT on mortality and morbidity.
Results: We found no significant difference in severity of illness scores except the vasoactive inotropic score (VIS, 45 ± 71 vs. 139 ± 251, = 0.042), which was significantly elevated during the initiation and the first three days of ECMO. CRRT was associated with an increase in the use of blood products and noradrenaline ( < 0.01) without changing ECMO duration, length of PICU stay or mortality.
Conclusion: The addition of CRRT to ECMO is associated with a greater consumption of blood products but no increase in mortality.

Phenotypes based on respiratory drive and effort to identify the risk factors when P0.1 fails to estimate ∆P in ventilated children.

Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Los Angeles, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Monitoring respiratory effort in ventilated children is crucial for lung protection, with esophageal pressure as the gold standard, but it's not commonly used; P0.1 serves as a more accessible alternative with limitations in correlation.
- The study analyzed data from 222 pediatric patients to identify factors that might cause P0.1 to inaccurately estimate respiratory effort, using logistic regression models to categorize various breathing phenotypes.
- Findings showed that while most patients had aligned measures of effort, a significant minority (12%) underestimated their respiratory effort due to factors like increased airway resistance and opioid use, indicating potential risks in managing ventilation.
Comparative analysis of compartment-specific immunothrombotic biomarker profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum of patients with pneumonia-related acute respiratory distress syndrome: A preliminary cross-sectional study.

Department of Emergency Medicine, The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explored immunothrombosis in pneumonia-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (p-ARDS), aiming to understand its profile in both the lungs and the bloodstream among affected patients compared to those with simple pneumonia.
- - Researchers analyzed samples from 23 p-ARDS patients and 40 pneumonia controls, revealing significant lung inflammation and injury to blood vessel linings in p-ARDS patients, even when accounting for illness severity.
- - Key findings indicated that inflammatory biomarkers in lung fluid correlated with oxygen levels, while specific serum markers were linked to organ failure and clotting issues, highlighting notable differences in immune responses between the two patient groups.
Transpulmonary Pressure-Guided Mechanical Ventilation in Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome in PICU: Single-Center Retrospective Study in North India, 2018-2021.

Objectives: In this study, we have reviewed the association between esophageal pressure-guided positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) setting and oxygenation and lung mechanics with a conventional mechanical ventilation (MV) strategy in patient with moderate to severe pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS).
Design: Retrospective cohort, 2018-2021.
Setting: Tertiary PICU.
The impact of PEEP on mechanical power and driving pressure in children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.

Background: Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) is widely used to improve oxygenation and avoid alveolar collapse in mechanically ventilated patients with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). However, its improper use can be harmful, impacting variables associated with ventilation-induced lung injury, such as mechanical power (MP) and driving pressure (∆P). Our main objective was to assess the impact of increasing PEEP on MP and ∆P in children with PARDS.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a multifactorial, inflammatory lung disease with significant morbidity and mortality that predominantly requires supportive care in its management. Although initially described in adult patients, the diagnostic definitions for ARDS have evolved over time to accurately describe this disease process in pediatric and, more recently, neonatal patients. The management of ARDS in each age demographic has converged in the application of lung-protective ventilatory strategies to mitigate the primary disease process and prevent its exacerbation by limiting ventilator-induced lung injury.
