Journal ArticleDOI
Unexpected Increased Mortality After Implementation of a Commercially Sold Computerized Physician Order Entry System
Yong Y. Han,Joseph A. Carcillo,Shekhar T. Venkataraman,Robert S. B. Clark,R. Scott Watson,R. Scott Watson,Trung C. Nguyen,Hülya Bayır,Richard A. Orr +8 more
TL;DR: An unexpected increase in mortality coincident with CPOE implementation is observed, which suggests that when implementing C POE systems, institutions should continue to evaluate mortality effects, in addition to medication error rates, for children who are dependent on time-sensitive therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Mechanical Ventilator Weaning Protocols on Respiratory Outcomes in Infants and Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Adrienne G. Randolph,David Wypij,Shekhar T. Venkataraman,James H. Hanson,Rainer Gedeit,Kathleen L. Meert,Peter M. Luckett,Peter W. Forbes,Michelle Lilley,John Thompson,Ira M. Cheifetz,Patricia L. Hibberd,Randall C. Wetzel,Peter N. Cox,John H. Arnold +14 more
TL;DR: In contrast with adult patients, the majority of children are weaned from mechanical ventilator support in 2 days or less, and weaning protocols did not significantly shorten this brief duration of weaning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Weaning and extubation readiness in pediatric patients.
Christopher J. L. Newth,Shekhar T. Venkataraman,Douglas F. Willson,Kathleen L. Meert,Rick Harrison,J. Michael Dean,Murray M. Pollack,Jerry J. Zimmerman,Kanwaljeet J. S. Anand,Joseph A. Carcillo,Carol Nicholson +10 more
TL;DR: Despite the importance of minimizing time on mechanical ventilation, only limited guidance on weaning and extubation is available from the pediatric literature, suggesting that weaning is often not considered early enough in the course of ventilation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Status Scale: new pediatric outcome measure.

Jenkins,Linda Ewing Cobb,Elizabeth Gilles,Maurice Sholas,Dennis J. Matthews +36 more
TL;DR: The functional status outcome measure for large outcome studies that is well defined, quantitative, rapid, reliable, minimally dependent on subjective assessments, and applicable to hospitalized pediatric patients across a wide range of ages and inpatient environments is met.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy expenditure in critically ill children.
TL;DR: Energy expenditure in critically ill children is measured and correlated to the severity of illness and recommended daily allowances and energy expenditure predicted by using a stress‐related correction to the resting energy expenditure grossly overestimate MEE.
