Diagnosis, management, and outcomes of pediatric tracheostomy-associated infections: A scoping review.

Background: Children with tracheostomy are frequently admitted to the hospital for tracheostomy-associated respiratory infections (TRAINs). However, there remains a paucity of evidence to direct the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of TRAINs. An important first step to addressing this knowledge gap is to synthesize existing data regarding TRAINs to inform current practice and facilitate innovation.

Cumulative Stress Debriefings to Combat Compassion Fatigue in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Background: Nurses working in pediatric intensive care units report high levels of compassion fatigue from exposure to critical and traumatic events. Cumulative stress debriefings can reduce compassion fatigue.

Objective: To evaluate the use of cumulative stress debriefings to alleviate symptoms of compassion fatigue and promote job satisfaction in nurses.

The Use of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to Measure Cerebral Oxygen Saturation During Body Position Changes on Infants Less than One Year Old.

Objective: To describe the state of the literature for near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure cerebral oxygen saturation during body position changes on infants <1 year old.

Introduction: Although regional cerebral oxygen saturation is commonly used in critically ill populations, it is not usual practice to tailor care based on differences in the cerebral oxygen saturation during measurements in different body positions. We believe that alterations in cerebral oxygen saturation during position changes can also inform clinicians regarding brain health, such as the regulation of brain blood flow.
