Tracheal intubation carries a high risk of adverse events. https://www.selleckchem.com/CDK.html The current literature is unclear regarding the "New Trainee Effect" on tracheal intubation safety in the PICU. We evaluated the effect of the timing of the PICU fellow academic cycle on tracheal intubation associated events. We hypothesize 1) PICUs with pediatric critical care medicine fellowship programs have more adverse tracheal intubation associated events during the first quarter (July-September) of the academic year compared with the rest of the year and 2) tracheal intubation associated event rates and first attempt success performed by pediatric critical care medicine fellows improve through the 3-year clinical fellowship.
Retrospective cohort study.
Thirty-seven North American PICUs participating in National Emergency Airway Registry for Children.
All patients who underwent tracheal intubations in the PICU from July 2013 to June 2017.
None.
The occurrence of any tracheal intubation associated events during the first quarter of thntial skills acquisition throughout pediatric critical care medicine fellowship.
The New Trainee Effect in tracheal intubation safety outcomes was not observed in various types of PICUs. There was a significant improvement in pediatric critical care medicine fellows' first attempt success and a significant decline in tracheal intubation associated event rates, indicating substantial skills acquisition throughout pediatric critical care medicine fellowship.
The Heart And Lung Failure-Pediatric INsulin Titration study was experiencing poor subject enrollment due to low rates of informed consent. Heart And Lung Failure-Pediatric INsulin Titration investigators collaborated with the Perelman School of Medicine Standardized Patient Program to explore the novel use of telesimulation with standardized parents to train research staff to approach parents of critically ill children for informed consent. We describe the feasibility, learner acceptance, and financial costs of this novel intervention and performed a post hoc analysis to determine if this intervention improved study consent rates.
Observational, comparative effectiveness study.
Heart And Lung Failure-Pediatric INsulin Titration study enrolling sites.
Research staff (at the remote site).
Individual 90-minute Skype telesimulation sessions with standardized parent and simulation facilitator (at the training site).
Forty telesimulation sessions with 79 Heart And Lung Failure-Pediatric INsulin Titratibtain informed consent from parents of critically ill children eligible for clinical research trials. Despite this novel approach, Heart And Lung Failure-Pediatric INsulin Titration study consent rates did not improve, suggesting that other factors influence parental consent and decision making in complex multicenter clinical research trials.
Remote telesimulation with standardized parents is feasible, acceptable, and associated with lower financial costs to prepare research staff to obtain informed consent from parents of critically ill children eligible for clinical research trials. Despite this novel approach, Heart And Lung Failure-Pediatric INsulin Titration study consent rates did not improve, suggesting that other factors influence parental consent and decision making in complex multicenter clinical research trials.
To investigate the efficacy of hydrocolloid dressing in reducing the occurrence rate and severity of nasotracheal tube-related pressure injury.
Randomized controlled trial.
A PICU in a tertiary medical center in southern China.
Pediatric patients received invasive mechanical ventilation via nasotracheal tubes.
The hydrocolloid dressing was cut into an optimal square size, which should cover the area from the nasal columella to the ala.
Eligible participants were randomly allocated to the control group and the experimental group. The participants in the experimental group received hydrocolloid dressing to protect nasal skin from the beginning of nasotracheal intubation, while the participants in the control group received the current care procedure (without hydrocolloid dressing) unless pressure injuries occurred. The hydrocolloid dressing was changed daily to assess the nasal skin. The pressure injury staging system that was redefined and updated by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel in 2016 was used. The mean duration of nasotracheal intubation was 150.10 ± 117.09 hours in the experimental group and 161.75 ± 120.72 hours in the control group. Forty-five participants had nasotracheal tube-related pressure injuries in control group, whereas 26 patients had in experimental group (72.6% vs 43.3%; absolute difference, 29.3%, 95% CI, 12.5-46%; p = 0.001). The median survival times of the nasal skin integrity were 95.5 hours in the control group and 219.5 hours in the experimental group (p < 0.001).
Hydrocolloid dressing can not only reduce the occurrence rate of nasotracheal tube-related pressure injury in the child with long-term nasotracheal intubation but also improve the endurance of the nasal skin significantly.

To determine the effect of skin-to-skin care on stress, pain, behavioral organization, and physiologic stability of infants with critical congenital heart disease before and after neonatal cardiac surgery.
A baseline response-paired design was used, with infants acting as their own controls before, during, and after skin-to-skin care at two distinct time points once in the preoperative period (T1) and once in the postoperative period (T2).
Cardiac ICU and step-down unit in a large metropolitan freestanding children's hospital.
Convenience sample of 30 infants admitted preoperatively for critical congenital heart disease.
Eligible infants were placed into skin-to-skin care for 1 hour with their biological mothers once each at T1 and T2.
Measurements of stress (salivary cortisol), pain and behavior state (COMFORT scale), and physiologic stability (vital signs) were assessed immediately before skin-to-skin care, 30 minutes into skin-to-skin care, and 30 minutes after skin-to-skin care ended.At both T1 and T2, infant pain scores were significantly decreased (p < 0.
