Journal ArticleDOI

Alterations in glucose homeostasis in the pediatric intensive care unit: Hyperglycemia and glucose variability are associated with increased mortality and morbidity.

TL;DR: A relationship between blood glucose level and PICU patient outcomes is found similar to that found in adults and raises the question whether attention to control of blood glucose will improve outcomes in critically ill children.
Journal ArticleDOI

An emergency department septic shock protocol and care guideline for children initiated at triage

TL;DR: Implementation of an ED septic shock protocol and care guideline improved compliance in delivery of rapid, aggressive fluid resuscitation and early antibiotic and oxygen administration and was associated with decreased length of stay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Standard Drug Concentrations and Smart-Pump Technology Reduce Continuous-Medication-Infusion Errors in Pediatric Patients

TL;DR: The use of standard drug concentrations, smart syringe pumps, and user-friendly labels reduces reported errors associated with continuous medication infusions and can allow most neonates to receive needed medications without concerns related to excess fluid administration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pediatric and neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: does center volume impact mortality?*.

TL;DR: Pediatric centers with low extracorporeal membrane oxygenation average annual case volume had significantly higher mortality and a minimum volume of 22 cases per year was associated with improved mortality, and it is suggested that this threshold should be evaluated by additional study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence of adverse events in pediatric intensive care units in the United States.

TL;DR: AEs and ADEs occur frequently in the PICU setting and provide areas of focus for evidence-based prevention strategies to decrease the substantial risk to this vulnerable pediatric population.
