Indications for tracheostomy placement in pediatric patients with cerebral palsy.

Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol

January 2025

Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA; Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Division of Otolaryngology, Chicago, IL, USA.

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common neuromuscular disorder in children, and children with CP are at increased risk of respiratory distress potentially requiring tracheostomy placement. Previous studies have characterized indications for tracheostomy in neurologically compromised children, however no studies focus specifically on children with CP. The purpose of this study was to identify the indications for tracheostomy placement, sites of airway obstruction, and rate of decannulation in children with CP.

Mechanical power density, spontaneous breathing indexes, and weaning readiness following prolonged mechanical ventilation.

Respir Med

January 2025

Department of Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine, Lung Center Stuttgart - Schillerhoehe Lung Clinic, affiliated to the Robert-Bosch-Hospital GmbH, Auerbachstrasse 110, 70376, Stuttgart, Germany; Comprehensive Pneumology Center, Member of the German Center for Lung Research (DZL), Munich, Germany.

Introduction: Evidence suggests that mechanical power (MP) normalized to dynamic compliance, which equals power density, may help identify prolonged ventilated patients at risk for spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) failure. This study compared MP density with traditional spontaneous breathing indexes to predict a patient's capacity to sustain a short trial of unassisted breathing.

Methods: A prospective observational study on 186 prolonged ventilated, tracheotomized patients.

Airway management and functional outcomes in intubated patients with ischemic stroke.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Neurology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, 88, Olympic-ro 43-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul, 05505, Korea.

We investigated the functional outcomes in ischemic stroke patients who underwent endotracheal intubation according to airway management (i.e., extubation success, extubation failure, primary tracheostomy) at multiple time points.

Background: Invasive mechanical ventilation can present complex challenges for patients with acute brain injury (ABI) in middle-income countries (MICs). We characterized the impact of country income level on weaning strategies and outcomes in patients with ABI.

Methods: A secondary analysis was performed on a registry of critically ill patients with ABI admitted to 73 intensive care units (ICUs) in 18 countries from 2018 to 2020.

Background: Predicting complete liberation from mechanical ventilation (MV) is still challenging. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) offers a non-invasive measure of regional ventilation distribution and could bring additional information.

Research Question: Whether the display of regional ventilation distribution during a Spontaneous Breathing Trial (SBT) could help at predicting early and successful liberation from MV.
