Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and important complication of burn injury. Although there are numerous adult studies, data regarding AKI in pediatric burn patients are scarce. Here, we aimed to evaluate the frequency, clinical features, and prognosis of AKI among pediatric burn injury patients. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. Patients aged between 1 month and 18 years who had been followed up between the years 2011 and 2017 were included, and patients with previous kidney disease were excluded. Demographic data, laboratory and clinical variables, management strategies, and outcome data were obtained from the hospital records. Factors associated with AKI were determined by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 697 patients had been followed up, and 87 (12.5%) had AKI. Older age, refugee status, prolonged duration between the incident and time of hospitalization, presence of sepsis, severity and type of burn, volume of fluid administration, intubation status, and accompanying organ failure were all associated with the development of AKI. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, the most statistically significant factors associated with the development of AKI were older age and increased serum hemoglobin values. In terms of outcomes, length of stay and mortality increased in patients with AKI when compared with patients without AKI. CONCLUSION Similar to adults, AKI is an important and common complication of burn injury in pediatric burn patients and is associated with increased length of stay, morbidity, and mortality. Early recognition and prompt and appropriate management are crucial to avoid morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Management of hypotension is a fundamental part of pediatric critical care, with cardiovascular support in the form of fluids or vasoactive drugs offered to every hypotensive child. However, optimal blood pressure (BP) targets are unknown. The PRotocolised Evaluation of PermiSSive BP Targets Versus Usual CaRE (PRESSURE) trial aims to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of a permissive mean arterial pressure (MAP) target of greater than a fifth centile for age compared with usual care. DESIGN Pragmatic, open, multicenter, parallel-group randomized control trial (RCT) with integrated economic evaluation. SETTING Eighteen PICUs across the United Kingdom. PATIENTS Infants and children older than 37 weeks corrected gestational age to 16 years accepted to a participating PICU, on mechanical ventilation and receiving vasoactive drugs for hypotension. INTERVENTIONS Adjustment of hemodynamic support to achieve a permissive MAP target greater than fifth centile for age during invasive mechanical ventilation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Randomization is 1:1 to a permissive MAP target or usual care, stratified by site and age group. Due to the emergency nature of the treatment, approaching patients for written informed consent will be deferred until after randomization. The primary clinical outcome is a composite of death and days of ventilatory support at 30 days. Baseline demographics and clinical status will be recorded as well as daily measures of BP and organ support, and discharge outcomes. This RCT received Health Research Authority approval (reference 289545), and a favorable ethical opinion from the East of England-Cambridge South Research Ethics Committee on May 10, 2021 (reference number 21/EE/0084). The trial is registered and has an International Standard RCT Number (reference 20609635). CONCLUSIONS Trial findings will be disseminated in U.K. national and international conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.

Abstract
To characterize kidney replacement therapy (KRT) and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) outcomes and to identify the optimal timing of KRT initiation during ECMO associated with increased survival. Observational retrospective cohort study using the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry database in children (0-18 yo) on ECMO from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020. Of the 14,318 ECMO runs analyzed, 26% of patients received KRT during ECMO. Patients requiring KRT before ECMO had increased mortality to ECMO decannulation (29% vs. 17%, OR 1.97, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (58% vs. 39%, OR 2.16, P < 0.001). Patients requiring KRT during ECMO had an increased mortality to ECMO decannulation (25% vs. 15%, OR 1.85, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (56% vs. 34%, OR 2.47, P < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that the need for KRT during ECMO was an independent predictor for mortality to ECMO decannulation (OR 1.49, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (OR 2.02, P < 0.001). Patients initiated on KRT between 24 and 72 hours after cannulation were more likely to survive to ECMO decannulation and showed a trend towards survival to hospital discharge as compared to those initiated before 24 hours and after 72 hours.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, our understanding of the impact of acute kidney injury, disorders of fluid balance, and their interplay have increased significantly. In recent years, the epidemiology and impact of fluid balance, including the pathologic state of fluid overload on outcomes has been studied extensively across multiple pediatric and neonatal populations. A detailed understating of fluid balance has become increasingly important as it is recognized as a target for intervention to continue to work to improve outcomes in these populations. In this review, we provide an update on the epidemiology and outcomes associated with fluid balance disorders and the development of fluid overload in children with acute kidney injury (AKI). This will include a detailed review of consensus definitions of fluid balance, fluid overload, and the methodologies to define them, impact of fluid balance on the diagnosis of AKI and the concept of fluid corrected serum creatinine. This review will also provide detailed descriptions of future directions and the changing paradigms around fluid balance and AKI in critical care nephrology, including the incorporation of the sequential utilization of risk stratification, novel biomarkers, and functional kidney tests (furosemide stress test) into research and ultimately clinical care. Finally, the review will conclude with novel methods currently under study to assess fluid balance and distribution (point of care ultrasound and bioimpedance).

[PMID: 38916738 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-024-05653-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the current evidence on various aspects of fluid therapy such as type, volume, and timing of fluid bolus administration in children with septic shock. Systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials including children less than 18 years of age admitted to the pediatric emergency and intensive care unit with severe infection and shock requiring fluid resuscitation. The intervention included balanced crystalloids (BC) vs normal saline (NS), colloids vs NS, restricted vs liberal fluid bolus, and slow vs fast fluid bolus. The primary outcome was mortality rate. Of the 219 citations retrieved, 12 trials (3526 children with severe infection with or without malaria and shock) were included. The pooled results found no significant difference in the mortality rate between groups comparing balanced crystalloids (BC) vs normal saline (NS), colloids vs NS, restricted vs liberal fluid bolus, and slow vs fast fluid bolus. The risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) was significantly less in the BC group compared to the NS group. The certainty of evidence for mortality was of "moderate certainty" in the BC vs NS group, and was of "very low certainty" for the other two groups. CONCLUSIONS The current meta-analysis found no significant difference in the mortality rate between the types of resuscitation fluid, and their speed or volume of administration. However, a significantly decreased risk of AKI was found in the BC group. More evidence is needed regarding the speed and volume of administration of fluid boluses in critically ill children.Prospero registration: CRD42020209066. WHAT IS KNOWN • Balanced crystalloids (BC) may be better than normal saline (NS) for fluid resuscitation in critically ill children. WHAT IS NEW • BC are better than NS for fluid resuscitation in critically ill children as they decrease AKI and hyperchloremia.

High intraoperative fluid load associated with prolonged length of hospital stay and complications after non-cardiac surgery in neonates. Eur J Pediatr 2024:10.1007/s00431-024-05628-x. [PMID: 38856762 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-024-05628-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/23/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Inappropriate perioperative fluid load can lead to postoperative complications and death. This retrospective study was designed to investigate the association between intraoperative fluid load and outcomes in neonates undergoing non-cardiac surgery. From April 2020 to September 2022, 940 neonates who underwent non-cardiac surgery were retrospectively enrolled and their perioperative data were harvested for further analysis. According to recorded intraoperative fluid volumes defined as ml.kg-1 h-1, patients were mandatorily divided into quintile with fluid load as restrictive (quintile 1, Q1), moderately restrictive (Q2), moderate (Q3), moderately liberal (Q4), and liberal (Q5). The primary outcomes were defined as prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS) (postoperative LOS ≥ 14 days), complications beyond prolonged LOS, and 30-day mortality. Secondary outcomes included postoperative complications within 14 days of hospital stay. The intraoperative fluid load was in Q1 of 6.5 (5.3-7.3) (median and IQR); Q2: 9.2 (8.7-9.9); Q3: 12.2 (11.4-13.2); Q4: 16.5 (15.4-18.0); and Q5: 26.5 (22.3-32.2) ml.kg-1 h-1. The odd of prolonged LOS was positively correlated with an increase fluid volume (Q5 quintile: OR 2.602 [95% CI 1.444-4.690], P = 0.001), as well as complications beyond prolonged LOS (Q5: OR 3.322 [95% CI 1.656-6.275], P = 0.001). The overall 30-day mortality rate was increased with high intraoperative fluid load but did not reach to a statistical significance after adjusted with confounders. Furthermore, the highest quintile of fluid load (26.5 ml.kg-1 h-1, IQR [22.3-32.2]) (Q5 quintile) was significantly associated with longer postoperative mechanical ventilation time compared with Q1 (Q5: OR 2.212 [95% CI 1.101-4.445], P = 0.026). Conclusion: Restrictive intraoperative fluid load had overall better outcomes, whilst high fluid load was significantly associated with prolonged LOS and complications after non-cardiac surgery in neonates. Trial registration: Chictr.org.cn Identifier: ChiCTR2200066823 (December 19, 2022). What is Known: • Inappropriate perioperative fluid load can lead to postoperative complications and even death. What is New: • High perioperative fluid load was significantly associated with an increased length of stay after non-cardiac surgery in neonates, whilst low fluid load was consistently related to better postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Pediatric point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) has grown in utilization and is now an integral part of pediatric acute care. Applications within the pediatric critical care, neonatology and pediatric emergency were once limited to evaluation of undifferentiated shock states, abdominal free fluid assessments in trauma resuscitation and procedural guidance. The body of pediatric POCUS literature is ever expanding and recently published international consensus guidelines are available to guide implementation into clinical practice. The authors present a review of emerging applications and controversies within thoracic, hemodynamic, neurologic, and ocular POCUS in pediatric acute care medicine.

Abstract
PURPOSE Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used for supportive management of acute kidney injury (AKI) and disorders of fluid balance (FB). Little is known about the predictors of successful liberation in children and young adults. We aimed to identify the factors associated with successful CRRT liberation. METHODS The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease study is an international multicenter retrospective study (32 centers, 7 nations) conducted from 2015 to 2021 in children and young adults (aged 0-25 years) treated with CRRT for AKI or FB disorders. Patients with previous dialysis dependence, tandem extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, died within the first 72 h of CRRT initiation, and those who never had liberation attempted were excluded. Patients were categorized based on first liberation attempt: reinstituted (resumption of any dialysis within 72 h) vs. success (no receipt of dialysis for ≥ 72 h). Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with successful CRRT liberation. RESULTS A total of 622 patients were included: 287 (46%) had CRRT reinstituted and 335 (54%) were successfully liberated. After adjusting for sepsis at admission and illness severity parameters, several factors were associated with successful liberation, including higher VIS (vasoactive-inotropic score) at CRRT initiation (odds ratio [OR] 1.35 [1.12-1.63]), higher PELOD-2 (pediatric logistic organ dysfunction-2) score at CRRT initiation (OR 1.71 [1.24-2.35]), higher urine output prior to CRRT initiation (OR 1.15 [1.001-1.32]), and shorter CRRT duration (OR 0.19 [0.12-0.28]). CONCLUSIONS Inability to liberate from CRRT was common in this multinational retrospective study. Modifiable and non-modifiable factors were associated with successful liberation. These results may inform the design of future clinical trials to optimize likelihood of CRRT liberation success.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (CRD42022384192) registered systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine whether prophylactic peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter insertion at the time of pediatric cardiac surgery is associated with improved short-term outcomes. DATA SOURCES Databases search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library completed in April 2021 and updated October 2023. STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers independently completed study selection, data extraction, and bias assessment. Inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies of children (≤ 18 yr) undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. We evaluated use of prophylactic PD catheter versus not. DATA EXTRACTION The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, as well as secondary short-term outcomes. Pooled random-effect meta-analysis odds ratio with 95% CI are reported. DATA SYNTHESIS Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria, including four RCTs. The non-PD catheter group received supportive care that included diuretics and late placement of PD catheters in the ICU. Most study populations included children younger than 1 year and weight less than 10 kg. Cardiac surgery was most commonly used for arterial switch operation. In-hospital mortality was reported in 13 studies; pooled analysis showed no association between prophylactic PD catheter placement and in-hospital mortality. There were mixed results for ICU length of stay and time to negative fluid balance, with some studies showing shortened duration associated with use of prophylactic PD catheter insertion and others showing no difference. Overall, the studies had high risk for bias, mainly due to small sample size and lack of generalizability. CONCLUSIONS In this meta-analysis, we have failed to demonstrate an association between prophylactic PD catheter insertion in children and infants undergoing cardiac surgery and reduced in-hospital mortality. Other relevant short-term outcomes, including markers of fluid overload, require further study.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the evaluation and management of fluid overload in critically ill children. RECENT FINDINGS Emerging evidence associates fluid overload, i.e. having a positive cumulative fluid balance, with adverse outcome in critically ill children. This is most likely the result of impaired organ function due to increased extravascular water content. The combination of a number of parameters, including physical, laboratory and radiographic markers, may aid the clinician in monitoring and quantifying fluid status, but all have important limitations, in particular to discriminate between intra- and extravascular water volume. Current guidelines advocate a restrictive fluid management, initiated early during the disease course, but are hampered by the lack of high quality evidence. SUMMARY Recent advances in early evaluation of fluid status and (tailored) restrictive fluid management in critically ill children may decrease complications of fluid overload, potentially improving outcome. Further clinical trials are necessary to provide the clinician with solid recommendations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CS-AKI) is common, but its impact on clinical outcomes is variable. Parsing AKI into sub-phenotype(s) and integrating pathologic positive cumulative fluid balance (CFB) may better inform prognosis. We sought to determine whether durational sub-phenotyping of CS-AKI with CFB strengthens association with outcomes among neonates undergoing the Norwood procedure. METHODS Multicenter, retrospective cohort study from the Neonatal and Pediatric Heart and Renal Outcomes Network. Transient CS-AKI: present only on post-operative day (POD) 1 and/or 2; persistent CS-AKI: continued after POD 2. CFB was evaluated per day and peak CFB during the first 7 postoperative days. Primary and secondary outcomes were mortality, respiratory support-free and hospital-free days (at 28, 60 days, respectively). The primary predictor was persistent CS-AKI, defined by modified neonatal Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes criteria. RESULTS CS-AKI occurred in 59% (205/347) neonates: 36.6% (127/347) transient and 22.5% (78/347) persistent; CFB > 10% occurred in 18.7% (65/347). Patients with either persistent CS-AKI or peak CFB > 10% had higher mortality. Combined persistent CS-AKI with peak CFB > 10% (n = 21) associated with increased mortality (aOR: 7.8, 95% CI: 1.4, 45.5; p = 0.02), decreased respiratory support-free (predicted mean 12 vs. 19; p < 0.001) and hospital-free days (17 vs. 29; p = 0.048) compared to those with neither. CONCLUSIONS The combination of persistent CS-AKI and peak CFB > 10% after the Norwood procedure is associated with mortality and hospital resource utilization. Prospective studies targeting intra- and postoperative CS-AKI risk factors and reducing CFB have the potential to improve outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review highlights recent advances in understanding fluid and electrolyte homeostasis during the newborn period, including heightened recognition of fluid overload and acute kidney injury contributing to poor clinical outcomes. Particular attention is given towards the care of extremely preterm infants. RECENT FINDINGS Emerging data demonstrate (i) disproportionally large transepidermal water loss in the extremely preterm population, (ii) the relationship between postnatal weight loss (negative fluid balance) and improved outcomes, (iii) the frequency and negative effects of dysnatremias early in life, (iv) the role of sodium homeostasis in optimizing postnatal growth, and (v) the deleterious effects of fluid overload and acute kidney injury. SUMMARY As clinicians care for an increasing number of preterm infants, understanding progress in approaches to fluid and electrolyte management and avoidance of fluid overload states will improve the care and outcomes of this vulnerable population. Further translational and clinical studies are needed to address remaining knowledge gaps and improve current approaches to fluid and electrolyte management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critical illness in children, particularly those with acute kidney injury. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with acute kidney injury treated with continuous kidney replacement therapy. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with acute kidney injury receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. METHODS An electronic search using PubMed and an inclusive academic library search (including MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases) was conducted to find relevant English-language articles on nutrition therapy for children (<18 y of age) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy. RESULTS The existing literature was reviewed by our work group, comprising pediatric nephrologists and experts in nutrition. The modified Delphi method was then used to develop a total of 45 clinical practice points. The best methods for nutritional assessment are discussed. Indirect calorimetry is the most reliable method of predicting resting energy expenditure in children on continuous kidney replacement therapy. Schofield equations can be used when indirect calorimetry is not available. The non-intentional calories contributed by continuous kidney replacement therapy should also be accounted for during caloric dosing. Protein supplementation should be increased to account for the proteins, peptides, and amino acids lost with continuous kidney replacement therapy. CONCLUSIONS Clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with acute kidney injury and on continuous kidney replacement therapy based on the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Impact of the first 24 h of continuous kidney replacement therapy on hemodynamics, ventilation, and analgo-sedation in critically ill children. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:879-887. [PMID: 37723304 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-023-06155-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In a group of children admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT), we aim to evaluate the data about their hemodynamic, ventilation and analgo-sedation profile in the first 24 h of treatment and possible associations with mortality. METHODS Retrospective cohort study of children admitted to the PICU of the University Hospital of Padova undergoing CKRT between January 2011 and March 2021. Data was collected at baseline (T0), after 1 h (T1) and 24 h (T24) of CKRT treatment. The differences in outcome measures were compared between these time points, and between survivors and non-survivors. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients received CKRT, of whom 38 (55%) died during the PICU stay. Overall, the vasoactive inotropic score and the adrenaline dose increased at T1 compared to T0 (p = 0.012 and p = 0.022, respectively). Compared to T0, at T24 patients showed an improvement in the following ventilatory parameters: Oxygenation Index (p = 0.005), Oxygenation Saturation Index (p = 0.013) PaO2/FiO2 ratio (p = 0.005), SpO2/FiO2 ratio (p = 0.002) and Mean Airway Pressure (p = 0.016). These improvements remained significant in survivors (p = 0.01, p = 0.027, p = 0.01 and p = 0.015, respectively) but not in non-survivors. No changes in analgo-sedative drugs have been described. CONCLUSIONS CKRT showed a significant impact on hemodynamics and ventilation in the first 24 h of treatment. We observed a significant rise in the inotropic/vasoactive support required after 1 h of treatment in the overall population, and an improvement in the ventilation parameters at 24 h only in survivors.

Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2024; 209:517-528.

Abstract
Rationale: Sepsis management relies on fluid resuscitation avoiding fluid overload and its related organ congestion. Objectives: To explore the influence of country income group on risk-benefit balance of fluid management strategies in sepsis. Methods: We searched e-databases for all randomized controlled trials on fluid resuscitation in patients with sepsis or septic shock up to January 2023, excluding studies on hypertonic fluids, colloids, and depletion-based interventions. The effect of fluid strategies (higher versus lower volumes) on mortality was analyzed per income group (i.e., low- and middle-income countries [LMICs] or high-income countries [HICs]). Measurements and Main Results: Twenty-nine studies (11,798 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. There was a numerically higher mortality in studies of LMICs as compared with those of HICs: median, 37% (interquartile range [IQR]: 26-41) versus 29% (IQR: 17-38; P = 0.06). Income group significantly interacted with the effect of fluid volume on mortality: Higher fluid volume was associated with higher mortality in LMICs but not in HICs: odds ratio (OR), 1.47; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.14-1.90 versus 1.00 (95% CI: 0.87-1.16), P = 0.01 for subgroup differences. Higher fluid volume was associated with increased need for mechanical ventilation in LMICs (OR, 1.24 [95% CI: 1.08-1.43]) but not in HICs (OR, 1.02 [95% CI: 0.80-1.29]). Self-reported access to mechanical ventilation also significantly influenced the effect of fluid volume on mortality, which increased with higher volumes only in settings with limited access to mechanical ventilation (OR: 1.45 [95% CI: 1.09-1.93] vs. 1.09 [95% CI: 0.93-1.28], P = 0.02 for subgroup differences). Conclusions: In sepsis trials, the effect of fluid resuscitation approach differed by setting, with higher volume of fluid resuscitation associated with increased mortality in LMICs and in settings with restricted access to mechanical ventilation. The precise reason for these differences is unclear and may be attributable in part to resource constraints, participant variation between trials, or other unmeasured factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of disorders of fluid balance, including the pathologic state of fluid overload in sick children has become increasingly apparent. With this understanding, there has been a shift from application of absolute thresholds of fluid accumulation to an appreciation of the intricacies of fluid balance, including the impact of timing, trajectory, and disease pathophysiology. METHODS The 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative was the first to be exclusively dedicated to pediatric and neonatal acute kidney injury (pADQI). As part of the consensus panel, a multidisciplinary working group dedicated to fluid balance, fluid accumulation, and fluid overload was created. Through a search, review, and appraisal of the literature, summative consensus statements, along with identification of knowledge gaps and recommendations for clinical practice and research were developed. CONCLUSIONS The 26th pADQI conference proposed harmonized terminology for fluid balance and for describing a pathologic state of fluid overload for clinical practice and research. Recommendations include that the terms daily fluid balance, cumulative fluid balance, and percent cumulative fluid balance be utilized to describe the fluid status of sick children. The term fluid overload is to be preserved for describing a pathologic state of positive fluid balance associated with adverse events. Several recommendations for research were proposed including focused validation of the definition of fluid balance, fluid overload, and proposed methodologic approaches and endpoints for clinical trials.

Association of Fluid Overload with Escalation of Respiratory Support and Endotracheal Intubation in Acute Bronchiolitis Patients. J Pediatr Intensive Care 2024; 13:7-17. [PMID: 38571992 PMCID: PMC10987226 DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1735873] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2021] [Accepted: 08/05/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Fluid overload has been associated with increased oxygen requirement, prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, and longer length of hospital stay in children hospitalized with pulmonary diseases. Critically ill infants with bronchiolitis admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) also tend to develop fluid overload and there is limited information of its role on noninvasive respiratory support. Thus, our primary objective was to study the association of fluid overload in patients with bronchiolitis admitted to the PICU with respiratory support escalation (RSE) and need for endotracheal intubation (ETI). Infants ≤24 months of age with bronchiolitis and admitted to the PICU between 9/2009 and 6/2015 were retrospectively studied. Demographic variables, clinical characteristics including type of respiratory support and need for ETI were evaluated. Fluid overload as assessed by net fluid intake and output (net fluid balance), cumulative fluid balance (CFB) (mL/kg), and percentage fluid overload (FO%), was compared between patients requiring and not requiring RSE and among patients requiring ETI and not requiring ETI at 0 (PICU admission), 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours. One-hundred sixty four of 283 patients with bronchiolitis admitted to the PICU qualified for our study. Thirty-four of 164 (21%) patients required escalation of respiratory support within 5 days of PICU admission and of these 34 patients, 11 patients required ETI. Univariate analysis by Kruskal-Wallis test of fluid overload as assessed by net fluid balance, CFB, and FO% between 34 patients requiring and 130 patients not requiring RSE and among 11 patients requiring ETI and 153 patients not requiring ETI, at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours did not reveal any significant difference ( p >0.05) at any time interval. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed higher PRISM score (odds ratio [OR]: 4.95, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.79-13.66; p = 0.002), longer hours on high flow nasal cannula (OR: 4.86, 95% CI: 1.68-14.03; p = 0.003) and longer hours on noninvasive ventilation (OR: 11.16, 95% CI: 3.36-36.98; p < 0.001) were associated with RSE. Fluid overload as assessed by net fluid balance, CFB, and FO% was not associated with RSE or need for ETI in critically ill bronchiolitis patients admitted to the PICU. Further prospective studies involving larger number of patients with bronchiolitis are needed to corroborate our findings.

Chunduru K, A R M, Poornima S, Hande H M, Devaki R, Varghese GM, Saravu K. Clinical, laboratory profile and molecular characterization of Orientia tsutsugamushi among fatal scrub typhus patients from Karnataka, India. Infect Dis (Lond) 2024; 56:220-229. [PMID: 38069822 DOI: 10.1080/23744235.2023.2290106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Scrub typhus is a vector-borne infection caused by the obligate intracellular organism Orientia tsutsugamushi. In some cases, scrub typhus can result in severe complications, multiorgan failure and death. OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and laboratory profiles of patients who succumbed to scrub typhus. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted from August 2019 through April 2023 on scrub typhus patients admitted to our hospital. Clinical and laboratory parameters of all the patients were recorded, and blood samples were drawn. To confirm scrub typhus, a nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) was performed in collected samples. Viable amplicons were sequenced, and phylogenetic analyses were performed to identify infecting genotypes. RESULTS A total of 261 patients were enrolled. Of these, nine (3.45%) patients succumbed at a median (Interquartile Range) duration of 5 (1.5, 10.5) days after admission. Sepsis with septic shock (9, 100%) and acute kidney injury (AKI) (6, 66%) were noted among the succumbed patients. All the succumbed patients (100%) required intensive care admission, inotropic and ventilatory support. While 5 (55%) patients required dialysis, two (22%) required blood transfusion. Three (33%) patient samples were co-positive for Leptospira IgM, and four (44%) patients had superinfection with Candida tropicalis, multi-drug-resistant (MDR) E. Coli sepsis, pan drug-resistant (PDR) Acinetobacter Baumanii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Phylogenetic analysis revealed Orientia tsutsugamushi Japanese Gilliam-variant (JG-v) like (50%), Karp-like (37.5%), and Japanese Gilliam (JG) like (12.5%) strains among succumbed patients. CONCLUSION Delay in scrub typhus diagnosis can result in severe complications, septic shock, and multisystem organ failure, culminating in death.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in children is associated with increased morbidity, reduced health-related quality of life, greater resource utilization, and higher mortality. Improvements in the timeliness and precision of AKI diagnosis in children are needed. In this report, we highlight existing, novel, and on-the-horizon diagnostic and risk-stratification tools for pediatric AKI, and outline opportunities for integration into clinical practice. We also summarize pediatric-specific high-risk diagnoses and exposures for AKI, as well as the potential role of real-time risk stratification and clinical decision support to improve outcomes. Lastly, the key characteristics of important pediatric AKI phenotypes will be outlined. Throughout, we identify key knowledge gaps, which represent prioritized areas of focus for future research that will facilitate a comprehensive, timely and personalized approach to pediatric AKI diagnosis and management.

Abstract
This review aims to systematically evaluate the association between hypertension and pressure ulcer (PU). PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched for studies from their inception until September 12, 2023. Literature search, data extraction, and quality assessment were conducted independently by two researchers. The random-effects model was used to calculate the combined odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) of hypertension in patients with PU; subgroup analyses were performed to explore the source of between-study heterogeneity; sensitivity analysis was used to test the robust of the combined result; and funnel plot and Egger's test were used to assess the publication bias. Finally, a total of 19 studies with 564 716 subjects were included; the overall pooled result showed no significant association between hypertension and risk of developing PU (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.90-1.47, p = 0.27); and the sensitivity analysis and publication bias analysis showed robust of the combined result. Subgroup analysis indicated a significant association between hypertension and PU when the primary disease was COVID-19 (OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.35-2.22, p < 0.0001). No association between hypertension and PU was seen in subgroup analysis on the patient source and study design. In sum, there is no significantly statistical association between hypertension and the occurrence of PU in most cases, while the risk of PU significantly elevates among COVID-19 patients combined with hypertension regardless of patient source and study design.

Intravenous maintenance fluid therapy in acutely and critically ill children: state of the evidence. THE LANCET. CHILD & ADOLESCENT HEALTH 2024; 8:236-244. [PMID: 38224704 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-4642(23)00288-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Intravenous maintenance fluid therapy (IV-MFT) is one of the most prescribed, yet one of the least studied, interventions in paediatric acute and critical care settings. IV-MFT is not typically treated in the same way as drugs with specific indications, contraindications, compositions, and associated adverse effects. In the last decade, societies in both paediatric and adult medicine have issued evidence-based practice guidelines for the use of intravenous fluids in clinical practice. The main objective of this Viewpoint is to summarise and compare the rationales on which these international expert guidelines were based and how these recommendations affect IV-MFT practices in paediatric acute and critical care. Although these guidelines recommend the use of isotonic fluids as a standard in IV-MFT, some discrepancies and uncertainties remain regarding the systematic use of balanced fluids, glucose and electrolyte requirements, and appropriate fluid volume. IV-MFT should be considered in the same way as any other prescription drug and none of the components of IV-MFT prescription should be overlooked (ie, choice of drug, dosing rate, duration of treatment, and de-escalation). Furthermore, most evidence that was used to inform the guidelines comes from high-income countries. Although some principles of IV-MFT are universal, the direct relevance to and feasibility of implementing the guidelines in low-income and middle-income countries is uncertain.

Suttles TL, Poe J, Neumayr TM, Said AS. In vivo measurement of pediatric extracorporeal oxygenator insensible losses; a single center pilot study. Front Pediatr 2024; 12:1346096. [PMID: 38487475 PMCID: PMC10937534 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2024.1346096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 03/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Fluid overload on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is associated with worse outcomes. Previous in vitro studies have attempted to quantify oxygenator-related insensible losses, as failure to account for this fluid loss may lead to inaccurate fluid balance assessment and potentially harmful clinical management, such as unnecessary exposure to diuretics, slow continuous ultrafiltration (SCUF), or continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). We performed a novel in vivo study to measure insensible fluid losses in pediatric ECMO patients. Methods Pediatric ECMO patients were approached over eleven months in the pediatric and cardiac intensive care units. The water content of the oxygenator inflow sweep gas and exhaust gas were calculated by measuring the ambient temperature and relative humidity at frequent intervals and various sweep flow. Results and discussion Nine subjects were enrolled, generating 431 data points. The cohort had a median age of 11 years IQR [0.83, 13], weight of 23.2 kg IQR [6.48, 44.28], and body surface area of 0.815 m2 IQR [0.315, 1.3725]. Overall, the cohort had a median sweep of 2.5 L/min [0.9, 4], ECMO flow of 3.975 L/m2/min [0.75, 4.51], and a set ECMO temperature of 37 degrees Celsius [36.6, 37.2]. The calculated net water loss per L/min of sweep was 75.93 ml/day, regardless of oxygenator size or patient weight. There was a significant difference in median documented vs. calculated fluid balance incorporating the insensible fluid loss, irrespective of oxygenator size (pediatric oxygenator: 7.001 ml/kg/day [-12.37, 28.59] vs. -6.11 ml/kg/day [-17.44, 13.01], respectively, p = 0.005 and adult oxygenator: 14.36 ml/kg/day [1.54, 25.77] and 9.204 ml/kg/day [-1.28, 22.05], respectively, p = <0.001). We present this pilot study of measured oxygenator-associated insensible fluid losses on ECMO. Our results are consistent with prior in vitro methods and provide the basis for future studies evaluating the impact of incorporating these fluid losses into patients' daily fluid balance on patient management and outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the pattern of fluid overload (FO) and its impact on mortality among mechanically ventilated children. METHODS In this secondary analysis of an open-label randomized controlled trial (ReLiSCh trial, October 2020-September 2021), hemodynamically stable mechanically ventilated children (n = 100) admitted to a tertiary level pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in North India were enrolled. The primary outcome was pattern of FO (FO% >10% and cumulative FO% from day 1-7); and secondary outcomes were pattern of FO among survivors and non-survivors, and prescription practices of maintenance fluid. RESULTS The median (IQR) age was 3.5 (0.85-7.5) y and 57% were males. Common diagnoses were pneumonia (27%), scrub typhus (14%), Landry-Guillain-Barré syndrome (9%), dengue (8%), central nervous system infections (7%) and staphylococcal sepsis (6%). Common organ dysfunction included acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (41%), shock (38%), and acute kidney injury (AKI) (9%). The duration PICU stay was 11 (7-17) d and mortality was 12%. The FO% >10% was noted in 19% children; and there was significant increase in cumulative FO% from day 1-7 [1.2 (0.2-2.6)% to 8.5 (1.7-14.3)%, (p = 0.000)]. Among non-survivors, higher proportion had FO% >10% (66.7% vs. 12.5%, p 0.0001); and trend towards higher cumulative FO% on first seven days. From day 1-7, the percentage of maintenance fluid received increased from 60 (50-71)% to 70 (60-77)% (p = 0.691). CONCLUSIONS One-fifth of mechanically ventilated children had FO% >10% and there was significant increase in cumulative FO% from day 1-7. Non-survivors had significantly higher degree of FO.

Abstract
RATIONALE & OBJECTIVE There are limited studies describing the epidemiology and outcomes in children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT). We aimed to describe associations between patient characteristics, CKRT prescription, and survival. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter cohort study. SETTING & PARTICIPANTS 980 patients aged from birth to 25 years who received CKRT between 2015 and 2021 at 1 of 32 centers in 7 countries participating in WE-ROCK (Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Diseases). EXPOSURE CKRT for acute kidney injury or volume overload. OUTCOMES Death before intensive care unit (ICU) discharge. ANALYTICAL APPROACH Descriptive statistics. RESULTS Median age was 8.8 years (IQR, 1.6-15.0), and median weight was 26.8 (IQR, 11.6-55.0) kg. CKRT was initiated a median of 2 (IQR, 1-6) days after ICU admission and lasted a median of 6 (IQR, 3-14) days. The most common CKRT modality was continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration. Citrate anticoagulation was used in 62%, and the internal jugular vein was the most common catheter placement location (66%). 629 participants (64.1%) survived at least until ICU discharge. CKRT dose, filter type, and anticoagulation were similar in those who did and did not survive to ICU discharge. There were apparent practice variations by institutional ICU size. LIMITATIONS Retrospective design; limited representation from centers outside the United States. CONCLUSIONS In this study of children and young adults receiving CKRT, approximately two thirds survived at least until ICU discharge. Although variations in dialysis mode and dose, catheter size and location, and anticoagulation were observed, survival was not detected to be associated with these parameters. PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY In this large contemporary epidemiological study of children and young adults receiving continuous kidney replacement therapy in the intensive care unit, we observed that two thirds of patients survived at least until ICU discharge. However, patients with comorbidities appeared to have worse outcomes. Compared with previously published reports on continuous kidney replacement therapy practice, we observed greater use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration with regional citrate anticoagulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nutrition plays a vital role in the outcome of critically ill children, particularly those with AKI. Currently, there are no established guidelines for children with AKI treated with continuous RRT (CRRT). A thorough understanding of the metabolic changes and nutritional challenges in AKI and CRRT is required. Our objective was to create clinical practice points for nutritional assessment and management in critically ill children with AKI receiving CRRT. METHODS PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched for articles related to the topic. Expertise of the authors and a consensus of the workgroup were additional sources of data in the article. Available articles on nutrition therapy in pediatric patients receiving CRRT through January 2023. RESULTS On the basis of the literature review, the current evidence base was examined by a panel of experts in pediatric nephrology and nutrition. The panel used the literature review as well as their expertise to formulate clinical practice points. The modified Delphi method was used to identify and refine clinical practice points. CONCLUSIONS Forty-four clinical practice points are provided on nutrition assessment, determining energy needs, and nutrient intake in children with AKI and on CRRT on the basis of the existing literature and expert opinions of a multidisciplinary panel.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In children with septic shock, guidelines recommend resuscitation with 40-60 mL/kg of fluid boluses, yet there is a lack of evidence to support this practice. We aimed to determine the feasibility of a randomized trial comparing early adrenaline infusion with standard fluid resuscitation in children with septic shock. DESIGN Open-label parallel randomized controlled, multicenter pilot study. The primary end point was feasibility; the exploratory clinical endpoint was survival free of organ dysfunction by 28 days. SETTING Four pediatric Emergency Departments in Queensland, Australia. PATIENTS Children between 28 days and 18 years old with septic shock. INTERVENTIONS Patients were assigned 1:1 to receive a continuous adrenaline infusion after 20 mL/kg fluid bolus resuscitation (n = 17), or standard care fluid resuscitation defined as delivery of 40 to 60 mL/kg fluid bolus resuscitation prior to inotrope commencement (n = 23). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Forty of 58 eligible patients (69%) were consented with a median age of 3.7 years (interquartile range [IQR], 0.9-12.1 yr). The median time from randomization to inotropes was 16 minutes (IQR, 12-26 min) in the intervention group, and 49 minutes (IQR, 29-63 min) in the standard care group. The median amount of fluid delivered during the first 24 hours was 0 mL/kg (IQR, 0-10.0 mL/kg) in the intervention group, and 20.0 mL/kg (14.6-28.6 mL/kg) in the standard group (difference, -20.0; 95% CI, -28.0 to -12.0). The number of days alive and free of organ dysfunction did not differ between the intervention and standard care groups, with a median of 27 days (IQR, 26-27 d) versus 26 days (IQR, 25-27 d). There were no adverse events reported associated with the intervention. CONCLUSIONS In children with septic shock, a protocol comparing early administration of adrenaline versus standard care achieved separation between the study arms in relation to inotrope and fluid bolus use.

An overview from the Critical Care Nephrology Section of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC). Eur J Pediatr 2024; 183:529-541. [PMID: 37975941 PMCID: PMC10912166 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05318-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the preferred method for renal support in critically ill and hemodynamically unstable children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) as it allows for gentle removal of fluids and solutes. The most frequent indications for CRRT include acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) as well as non-renal indications such as removal of toxic metabolites in acute liver failure, inborn errors of metabolism, and intoxications and removal of inflammatory mediators in sepsis. AKI and/or FO are common in critically ill children and their presence is associated with worse outcomes. Therefore, early recognition of AKI and FO is important and timely transfer of patients who might require CRRT to a center with institutional expertise should be considered. Although CRRT has been increasingly used in the critical care setting, due to the lack of standardized recommendations, wide practice variations exist regarding the main aspects of CRRT application in critically ill children. Conclusion: In this review, from the Critical Care Nephrology section of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC), we summarize the key aspects of CRRT delivery and highlight the importance of adequate follow up among AKI survivors which might be of relevance for the general pediatric community. What is Known: • CRRT is the preferred method of renal support in critically ill and hemodynamically unstable children in the PICU as it allows for gentle removal of fluids and solutes. • Although CRRT has become an important and integral part of modern pediatric critical care, wide practice variations exist in all aspects of CRRT. What is New: • Given the lack of literature on guidance for a general pediatrician on when to refer a child for CRRT, we recommend timely transfer to a center with institutional expertise in CRRT, as both worsening AKI and FO have been associated with increased mortality. • Adequate follow-up of PICU patients with AKI and CRRT is highlighted as recent findings demonstrate that these children are at increased risk for adverse long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of children admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit. One key management modality of AKI is the use of diuretics to reduce fluid overload. Aminophylline, a drug that is well known for its use in the treatment of bronchial asthma, is also purported to have diuretic effects on the kidneys. This retrospective cohort study assesses the effect of aminophylline in critically ill children with AKI. METHODS A retrospective chart review of children admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit of the Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital (RCWMCH) with AKI who received aminophylline (from 2012 to June 2018) was carried out. Data captured and analyzed included demographics, underlying disease conditions, medications, urine output, fluid balance, and kidney function. RESULTS Data from thirty-four children were analyzed. Urine output increased from a median of 0.4 mls/kg/hr [IQR: 0.1, 1.1] at six hours prior to aminophylline administration to 0.6 mls/kg/hr [IQR: 0.2, 1.9] at six hours and 1.6 mls/kg/hr [IQR:0.2, 4.2] at twenty-four hours post aminophylline therapy. The median urine output significantly varied across the age groups over the 24-h time period post-aminophylline, with the most response in the neonates. There was no significant change in serum creatinine levels six hours post-aminophylline administration [109(IQR: 77, 227)-125.5(IQR: 82, 200) micromole/l] P-value = 0.135. However, there were significant age-related changes in creatinine levels at six hours post-aminophylline therapy. CONCLUSIONS Aminophylline increases urine output in critically ill children with AKI.

Abstract
Introduction Furosemide is the most commonly used medication in pediatric intensive care. Growing data indicates improved hemodynamic stability and efficacy of furosemide infusions compared to intermittent injections, thereby suggesting furosemide infusions might be considered as first line therapy in critically ill, paediatric patients. The objective of this study is to examine furosemide treatment as either continuous infusions or intermittent injections and subsequent patient outcomes. Methods This is a retrospective cohort analysis of patients treated in a pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) over a nine year period (July 31st 2006 and July 31, 2015). Eligible patients were admitted to either the general pediatric or cardiac specific ICU for a duration of at least 6 hours and who received intravenous furosemide treatment. Results A total of 7,478 patients were identified who received a total of 118,438 furosemide administrations for a total of 113,951 (96%) intermittent doses and 4,487 (4%) infusions running for a total of 1,588,750 hours. A total of 5,996 (80%) patients received exclusively furosemide injections and 1,482 (20%) patients received at least one furosemide infusion. A total of 193 patients died during ICU admission, amounting to 87 (6%) of the 1,482 patients who received an infusion and 106 (2%) of the 5,996 who received intermittent injections. Multivariable regression analysis showed no statistically significant decrease in adjusted mortality for patients who received furosemide injections compared to furosemide infusions (aOR 1.20, CI 0.76-1.89). Discussion This retrospective study observed similar mortality for patients who received furosemide infusions compared to furosemide injections. More research on furosemide in the ICU could provide insights on fluid management, drug effectiveness, and pharmacologic stewardship for critically ill children.

Abstract
Importance In clinical trials, the early or accelerated continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) initiation strategy among adults with acute kidney injury or volume overload has not demonstrated a survival benefit. Whether the timing of initiation of CRRT is associated with outcomes among children and young adults is unknown. Objective To determine whether timing of CRRT initiation, with and without consideration of volume overload (VO; <10% vs ≥10%), is associated with major adverse kidney events at 90 days (MAKE-90). Design, Setting, and Participants This multinational retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcome Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) registry from 2015 to 2021. Participants included children and young adults (birth to 25 years) receiving CRRT for acute kidney injury or VO at 32 centers across 7 countries. Statistical analysis was performed from February to July 2023. Exposure The primary exposure was time to CRRT initiation from intensive care unit admission. Main Outcomes and measures The primary outcome was MAKE-90 (death, dialysis dependence, or persistent kidney dysfunction [>25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate from baseline]). Results Data from 996 patients were entered into the registry. After exclusions (n = 27), 969 patients (440 [45.4%] female; 16 (1.9%) American Indian or Alaska Native, 40 (4.7%) Asian or Pacific Islander, 127 (14.9%) Black, 652 (76.4%) White, 18 (2.1%) more than 1 race; median [IQR] patient age, 8.8 [1.7-15.0] years) with data for the primary outcome (MAKE-90) were included. Median (IQR) time to CRRT initiation was 2 (1-6) days. MAKE-90 occurred in 630 patients (65.0%), of which 368 (58.4%) died. Among the 601 patients who survived, 262 (43.6%) had persistent kidney dysfunction. Of patients with persistent dysfunction, 91 (34.7%) were dependent on dialysis. Time to CRRT initiation was approximately 1 day longer among those with MAKE-90 (median [IQR], 3 [1-8] days vs 2 [1-4] days; P = .002). In the generalized propensity score-weighted regression, there were approximately 3% higher odds of MAKE-90 for each 1-day delay in CRRT initiation (odds ratio, 1.03 [95% CI, 1.02-1.04]). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study of children and young adults receiving CRRT, longer time to CRRT initiation was associated with greater risk of MAKE-90 outcomes, in particular, mortality. These findings suggest that prospective multicenter studies are needed to further delineate the appropriate time to initiate CRRT and the interaction between CRRT initiation timing and VO to continue to improve survival and reduce morbidity in this population.

Abstract
Sepsis and septic shock are major causes of morbidity, mortality, and health care costs for children worldwide, including >3 million deaths annually and, among survivors, risk for new or worsening functional impairments, including reduced quality of life, new respiratory, nutritional, or technological assistance, and recurrent severe infections. Advances in understanding sepsis pathophysiology highlight a need to update the definition and diagnostic criteria for pediatric sepsis and septic shock, whereas new data support an increasing role for automated screening algorithms and biomarker combinations to assist earlier recognition. Once sepsis or septic shock is suspected, attention to prompt initiation of broad-spectrum empiric antimicrobial therapy, fluid resuscitation, and vasoactive medications remain key components to initial management with several new and ongoing studies offering new insights into how to optimize this approach. Ultimately, a key goal is for screening to encompass as many children as possible at risk for sepsis and trigger early treatment without increasing unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotics and preventable hospitalizations. Although the role for adjunctive treatment with corticosteroids and other metabolic therapies remains incompletely defined, ongoing studies will soon offer updated guidance for optimal use. Finally, we are increasingly moving toward an era in which precision therapeutics will bring novel strategies to improve outcomes, especially for the subset of children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and sepsis subphenotypes for whom antibiotics, fluid, vasoactive medications, and supportive care remain insufficient.

Performance of Tools and Measures to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Pediatric Shock and Critical Illness: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2024; 25:24-36.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In this systematic review and meta-analysis we asked: Do predictors of fluid responsiveness in children perform comparably: 1) in the PICU as in non-PICU settings? 2) in shock states compared with nonshock states? Additionally, 3) is there an association between preload responsiveness and clinical response? DATA SOURCES Ovid Medline, PubMed, and Embase databases were searched from inception through May 2022. STUDY SELECTION Included studies reported physiological response to IV fluid administration in humans less than 18 years. Only studies reporting an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) were included for descriptive analysis. Only studies for which a se could be estimated were included for meta-analysis. DATA EXTRACTION Title, abstract, full text screening, and extraction were completed by two authors (S.B.W., J.M.W.). Variables extracted included predictors ("tools") and outcome measures ("reference tests") of fluid responsiveness, demographic, and clinical variables. DATA SYNTHESIS We identified 62 articles containing 204 AUROCs for 55 tools, primarily describing mechanically ventilated children in an operating room or PICU. Meta-analysis across all tools showed poor predictive performance (AUROC, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.63-0.69), although individual performance varied greatly (range, 0.49-0.87). After controlling for PICU setting and shock state, PICU setting was associated with decreased predictive performance (coefficient, -0.56; p = 0.0007), while shock state was associated with increased performance (0.54; p = 0.0006). Effect of PICU setting and shock state on each tool was not statistically significant but analysis was limited by sample size. The association between preload responsiveness and clinical response was rarely studied but results did not suggest an association. Ultrasound measurements were prone to inherent test review and incorporation biases. CONCLUSIONS We suggest three opportunities for further research in fluid responsiveness in children: 1) assessing predictive performance of tools during resuscitation in shock states; 2) separating predictive tool from reference test when using ultrasound techniques; and 3) targeting decreasing time in a shock state, rather than just increase in preload.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Critical care nephrology is a subspecialty that merges critical care and nephrology in response to shared pathobiology, clinical care, and technological innovations. To date, there has been no description of the highest impact articles. Accordingly, we systematically identified high impact articles in critical care nephrology. METHODS This was a bibliometric analysis. The search was developed by a research librarian. Web of Science was searched for articles published between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2020. Articles required a minimum of 30 citations, publication in English language, and reporting of primary (or secondary) original data. Articles were screened by two reviewers for eligibility and further adjudicated by three experts. The "Top 100" articles were hierarchically ranked by adjudication, citations in the 2 years following publication and journal impact factor (IF). For each article, we extracted detailed bibliometric data. Risk of bias was assessed for randomized trials by the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Analyses were descriptive. RESULTS The search yielded 2,805 articles. Following initial screening, 307 articles were selected for full review and adjudication. The Top 100 articles were published across 20 journals (median [IQR] IF 10.6 [8.9-56.3]), 38% were published in the 5 years ending in 2020 and 62% were open access. The agreement between adjudicators was excellent (intraclass correlation, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.84-0.99). Of the Top 100, 44% were randomized trials, 35% were observational, 14% were systematic reviews, 6% were nonrandomized interventional studies and one article was a consensus document. The risk of bias among randomized trials was low. Common subgroup themes were RRT (42%), AKI (30%), fluids/resuscitation (14%), pediatrics (10%), interventions (8%), and perioperative care (6%). The citations for the Top 100 articles were 175 (95-393) and 9 were cited >1,000 times. CONCLUSION Critical care nephrology has matured as an important subspecialty of critical care and nephrology. These high impact papers have focused largely on original studies, mostly clinical trials, within a few core themes. This list can be leveraged for curricula development, to stimulate research, and for quality assurance.

Abstract
Introduction Critically ill admitted patients are at high risk of acute kidney injury (AKI). The renal angina index (RAI) and urinary biomarker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (uNGAL) can aid in AKI risk assessment. We implemented the Trial in AKI using NGAL and Fluid Overload to optimize CRRT Use (TAKING FOCUS 2; TF2) to personalize fluid management and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) initiation based on AKI risk and patient fluid accumulation. We compared outcomes pre-TF2 and post-TF2 initiation. Methods Patients admitted from July 2017 were followed-up prospectively with the following: (i) an automated RAI result at 12 hours of admission, (ii) a conditional uNGAL order for RAI ≥8, and (iii) a CRRT initiation goal at 10% to 15% weight-based fluid accumulation. Results A total of 286 patients comprised 304 intensive care unit (ICU) RAI+ admissions; 178 patients received CRRT over the observation period (2014-2021). Median time from ICU admission to CRRT initiation was 2 days shorter (P < 0.002), and ≥15% pre-CRRT fluid accumulation rate was lower in the TF2 era (P < 0.02). TF2 ICU length of stay (LOS) after CRRT discontinuation and total ICU LOS were 6 and 11 days shorter for CRRT survivors (both P < 0.02). Survival rates to ICU discharge after CRRT discontinuation were higher in the TF2 era (P = 0.001). These associations persisted in each TF2 year; we estimate a conservative $12,500 health care cost savings per CRRT patient treated after TF2 implementation. Conclusion We suggest that automated clinical decision support (CDS) combining risk stratification and AKI biomarker assessment can produce durable reductions in pediatric CRRT patient morbidity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Management of mechanically ventilated patients with bronchiolitis is not standardized and duration of mechanical ventilation has been shown to vary widely between centers. The aim of this study was to examine practice in a large number of U.K. PICUs with a view to identify if early management choices relating to fluid prescription, sedative agent use, and endotracheal tube (ETT) placement were associated with differences in duration of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). DESIGN Retrospective multicenter cohort study. Primary outcome was duration of IMV. A hierarchical gamma generalized linear model was used to test for associations between practice variables (sedative and neuromuscular blocking agents, route of endotracheal intubation at 24 hr and fluid balance at 48 hr) and duration of IMV after adjustment for known confounders. SETTING Thirteen U.K. PICUs. Duration of 2 months between November and December 2019. PATIENTS Three hundred fifty infants receiving IMV for bronchiolitis. Excluded were patients receiving long-term ventilation, extracorporeal life support, or who died before separation from IMV. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS After adjustment for confounders, several variables were associated with an increase in the geometric mean duration of IMV (expressed as a percentage) including: nasal ETT use, 16% (95% CI, 1-32%); neuromuscular blockade use, 39% (95% CI, 21-61%); and fluid balance at 48 hr, 13% per 100 mL/kg positive fluid balance (95% CI, -1% to 28%). The association of sedative use varied with class of agent. The use of an alpha-2 agonist alone was associated with a reduction in duration of IMV by 19% in relation to no sedative agent (95% CI, -31 to -5%), whereas benzodiazepine uses alone or with alpha-2 agonist in combination were similar to using neither agent. CONCLUSIONS Early management strategies for bronchiolitis were associated with the duration of IMV across U.K. centers after adjustment for confounders. Future work should prospectively assess the impact of fluid restriction, route of endotracheal intubation, and alpha-2 agonist use on duration of IMV in infants with bronchiolitis, with the aim of reducing seasonal bed pressure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postoperative patients after congenital cardiac surgery are at high risk of fluid overload (FO), which is known to be associated with poor outcomes. "Fluid creep," or nonresuscitation IV fluid in excess of maintenance requirement, is recognized as a modifiable factor associated with FO in the general PICU population, but has not been studied in congenital cardiac surgery patients. Our objective was to characterize fluid administration after congenital cardiac surgery, quantify fluid creep, and the association between fluid creep, FO, and outcome. DESIGN Retrospective, observational cohort study. SETTING Single-center urban mixed-medical and cardiac PICU. PATIENTS Patients admitted to the PICU after cardiac surgery between January 2010 and December 2020. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS There were 1,459 postoperative encounters with 1,224 unique patients. Total fluid intake was greater than maintenance requirements on 3,103 of 4,661 patient days (67%), with fluid creep present on 2,624 patient days (56%). Total nonresuscitation intake was higher in patients with FO (defined as cumulative fluid balance 10% above body weight) versus those without. Fluid creep was higher among patients with FO than those without for each of the first 5 days postoperatively. Each 10 mL/kg of fluid creep in the first 24 hours postoperatively was associated with 26% greater odds of developing FO (odds ratio [OR] 1.26; 95% CI, 1.17-1.35) and 17% greater odds of mortality (OR 1.17; 95% CI, 1.05-1.30) after adjusting for risk of mortality based on surgical procedure, age, and day 1 resuscitation volume. Increasing fluid creep in the first 24 hours postoperatively was associated with increased postoperative duration of mechanical ventilation and PICU length of stay. CONCLUSIONS Fluid creep is present on most postoperative days for pediatric congenital cardiac surgery patients, and fluid creep is associated with higher-risk procedures. Fluid creep early in the postoperative PICU stay is associated with greater odds of FO, mortality, length of mechanical ventilation, and PICU length of stay. Fluid creep may be under-recognized in this population and thus present a modifiable target for intervention.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Intravenous fluid therapy is the most common intervention in critically ill children. There is an increasing body of evidence questioning the safety of high-volume intravenous fluid administration in these patients. To date, the optimal fluid management strategy remains unclear. We aimed to test the feasibility of a pragmatic randomised controlled trial comparing a restrictive with a standard (liberal) fluid management strategy in critically ill children. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Multicentre, binational pilot, randomised, controlled, open-label, pragmatic trial. Patients <18 years admitted to paediatric intensive care unit and mechanically ventilated at the time of screening are eligible. Patients with tumour lysis syndrome, diabetic ketoacidosis or postorgan transplant are excluded. INTERVENTIONS 1:1 random assignment of 154 individual patients into two groups-restrictive versus standard, liberal, fluid strategy-stratified by primary diagnosis (cardiac/non-cardiac). The intervention consists of a restrictive fluid bundle, including lower maintenance fluid allowance, limiting fluid boluses, reducing volumes of drug delivery and initiating diuretics or peritoneal dialysis earlier. The intervention is applied for 48 hours postrandomisation or until discharge (whichever is earlier). ENDPOINTS The number of patients recruited per month and proportion of recruited to eligible patients are feasibility endpoints. New-onset acute kidney injury and the incidence of clinically relevant central venous thrombosis are safety endpoints. Fluid balance at 48 hours after randomisation is the efficacy endpoint. Survival free of paediatric intensive care censored at 28 days is the clinical endpoint. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was gained from the Children's Health Queensland Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC/21/QCHQ/77514, date: 1 September 2021), and University of Zurich (2021-02447, date: 17 March 2023). The trial is registered with the Australia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12621001311842). Open-access publication in high impact peer-reviewed journals will be sought. Modern information dissemination strategies will also be used including social media to disseminate the outcomes of the study. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12621001311842. PROTOCOL VERSION/DATE V5/23 May 2023.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Fluid resuscitation is among the most common interventions and is associated with fluid overload (FO) in some patients. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarise the available evidence on the association between FO and morbimortality in children with sepsis. METHODS A systematic search was carried out in PubMed/Medline, Embase, Cochrane and Google Scholar up to December 2022 (PROSPERO 408148), including studies in children with sepsis which reported more than 10% FO 24 hours after admission to intensive care. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2, considering it absent if <25% and high if >75%. A sensitivity analysis was run to explore the impact of the methodological quality on the size of the effect. Mantel-Haenszel's model of random effects was used for the analysis. The primary outcome was to determine the risk of mortality associated with FO and the secondary outcomes were the need for mechanical ventilation (MV), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and length of hospital stay associated with FO. RESULTS A total of 9 studies (2312 patients) were included, all of which were observational. Children with FO had a higher mortality than patients without overload (46% vs 26%; OR 5.06; 95% CI 1.77 to 14.48; p<0.01). We found no association between %FO and the risk of MODS (OR: 0.97; 95% CI 0.13 to 7.12; p=0.98). Children with FO required MV more often (83% vs 47%; OR: 4.78; 95% CI 2.51 to 9.11; p<0.01) and had a longer hospital stay (8 days (RIQ 6.5-13.2) vs 7 days (RIQ 6.1-11.5); p<0.01). CONCLUSION In children with sepsis, more than 10% FO 24 hours after intensive care admission is associated with higher mortality, the need for MV and length of hospital stay.

Utility of Inferior Vena Cava Distensibility and Respiratory Variation in Peak Aortic Blood Flow Velocity to Predict Fluid Responsiveness in Children with Shock. Indian J Pediatr 2023; 90:1077-1082. [PMID: 37277686 DOI: 10.1007/s12098-023-04585-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of inferior vena cava (IVC) distensibility index (∆IVC) and respiratory variation in peak aortic blood flow velocity (∆Vpeak) to predict fluid responsiveness in ventilated children with shock and to find out the best cut-off values for predicting fluid responsiveness. METHODS In this prospective observational study, conducted in a pediatric ICU from January 2019 through May 2020, consecutive children aged 2 mo to 17 y with shock requiring fluid bolus were included. ∆IVC and ∆Vpeak were measured before and immediately after 10 ml/kg fluid bolus administration. ∆IVC and ∆Vpeak were compared between responders and non-responders, defined by a change in stroke volume index (SVI) of ≥10%. RESULTS Thirty-seven ventilated children [26 (70.4%) boys] with median age of 60 (36, 108) mo were included. The median (IQR) ∆IVC was 21.7% (14.3, 30.9) and the median (IQR) ΔVpeak was 11.3% (7.2, 15.2). Twenty-three (62%) children were fluid responsive. The median (IQR) ∆IVC was higher in responders compared to non-responders [26% (16.9, 36.5) vs. 17.2% (8.4, 21.9); p = 0.018] and mean (SD) ΔVpeak was higher in responders [13.9% (6.1) vs. 8.4% (3.9), p = 0.004]. The prediction of fluid responsiveness with ΔIVC [ROC curve area 0.73 (0.56-0.9), p = 0.01] and ΔVpeak [ROC curve area 0.78 (0.63-0.94), p = 0.002] was similar. The best cut-off of ∆IVC to predict fluid responsiveness was 23% (sensitivity, 60.8%; specificity, 85.7%) and ΔVpeak was 11.3% (sensitivity, 74%; specificity, 86%). CONCLUSIONS In this study, authors found that ∆IVC and ΔVpeak were good predictors of fluid responsiveness in ventilated children with shock.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of restricted vs. usual/liberal maintenance fluid strategy on fluid overload (FO) among mechanically ventilated children. METHODS This open-label randomized controlled trial was conducted over a period of 1 y (October 2020-September 2021) in a Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in North India. Hemodynamically stable mechanically ventilated children were randomized to 40% (restricted group, n = 50) and 70-80% (usual/liberal group, n = 50) of maintenance fluids. The primary outcome was cumulative fluid overload percentage (FO%) on day 7. Secondary outcomes were FO% >10%; vasoactive inotropic score, sequential organ failure assessment score, pediatric logistic organ dysfunction score and oxygenation index from day 1-7; ventilation free days (VFDs) and PICU free days (PFDs) through day 28; and mortality. RESULTS The restricted group had statistically non-significant trend towards lower cumulative FO% at day 7 [7.6 vs. 9.5, p = 0.40]; and proportion of children with FO% >10% (12% vs. 26%, p = 0.21) as compared to usual/liberal group. The increase in FO% from day 1-7 was significant in usual/liberal group as compared to restricted group (p <0.001 and p = 0.134, respectively). Restricted group received significantly lower amount of fluid in the first 5 d; had significantly higher VFDs (23 vs. 17 d, p = 0.008) and PFDs (19 vs. 15 d, p = 0.007); and trend towards lower mortality (8% vs. 16%, p = 0.21). CONCLUSIONS Restricted as compared to usual/liberal maintenance fluid strategy among mechanically ventilated children was associated with a trend towards lower rate and severity of FO and mortality; and significantly lower fluid volume received, and higher VFDs and PFDs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association between fluid balance (FB) and health-related quality of life (HRQL) among children at 1 month following community-acquired septic shock. DESIGN Nonprespecified secondary analysis of the Life After Pediatric Sepsis Evaluation. FB was defined as 100 × [(cumulative PICU fluid input - cumulative PICU fluid output)/PICU admission weight]. Three subgroups were identified: low FB (< 5%), medium FB (5%-15%), and high FB (> 15%) based on cumulative FB on days 0-3 of ICU stay. HRQL was measured at ICU admission and 1 month after using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core or Infant Scales or the Stein-Jessop Functional Status Scale. The primary outcome was a composite of mortality or greater than 25% decline in HRQL 1 month after admission compared with baseline. SETTING Twelve academic PICUs in the United States. PATIENTS Critically ill children between 1 month and 18 years, with community-acquired septic shock who survived to at least day 4. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Two hundred ninety-three patients were included of whom 66 (23%) had low FB, 127 (43%) had medium FB, and 100 (34%) had high FB. There was no difference in Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score 3 (median 11 [6, 17]), age (median 5 [1, 12]), or gender (47% female) between FB groups. After adjusting for potential confounders and comparing with medium FB, higher odds of mortality or greater than 25% HRQL decline were seen in both the low FB (odds ratio [OR] 2.79 [1.20, 6.57]) and the high FB (OR 2.16 [1.06, 4.47]), p = 0.027. Compared with medium FB, low FB (OR 4.3 [1.62, 11.84]) and high FB (OR 3.29 [1.42, 8.00]) had higher odds of greater than 25% HRQL decline. CONCLUSIONS Over half of the children who survived septic shock had low or high FB, which was associated with a significant decline in HRQL scores. Prospective studies are needed to determine if optimization of FB can improve HRQL outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the agreement between change in body weight (BW) and fluid balance (FB), and the precision and safety of BW measurement in mechanically ventilated infants in intensive care. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING Tertiary PICU. PATIENTS Infants following cardiac surgery, at baseline, 24 hours, and 48 hours. INTERVENTIONS BW and FB measurement at three time points. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Between May 2021 and September 2022, we studied 61 children. The median age was 8 days (interquartile range [IQR], 1.0-14.0 d). The median BW at baseline was 3,518 g (IQR, 3,134-3,928 g). Change in BW was -36 g (IQR, -145 to 105 g) and -97 g (IQR, -240 to -28 g) between baseline and 24 hours, and between 24 and 48 hours, respectively. Change in FB was -82 mL (IQR, -173 to 12 mL) and -107 mL (IQR, -226 to 103) between baseline and 24 hours, and between 24 and 48 hours, respectively. In Bland-Altman analyses, the mean bias between BW and FB at 24 and 48 hours was 54 g (95% CI, 12-97) and -43 g (95% CI, -108 to 23), respectively. This exceeded 1% of the median BW, and limits of agreement ranged from 7.6% to 15% of baseline BW. The precision of paired weight measurements, performed sequentially at each time interval, was high (median difference of ≤1% of BW at each time point). The median weight of connected devices ranged from 2.7% to 3% of BW. There were no episodes of tube or device dislodgments and no change in vasoactive therapies during weight measurements. CONCLUSIONS There is moderate agreement between the changes in FB and BW, albeit greater than 1% of baseline BW, and the limits of this agreement are wide. Weighing mechanically ventilated infants in intensive care is a relatively safe and precise method for estimating change in fluid status. Device weight represents a relatively large proportion of BW.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Cardio-Renal Pediatric Dialysis Emergency Machine (CA.R.P.E.D.I.E.M.®) device is a continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) equipment dedicated to neonates and small infants. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness, feasibility, outcomes, and technical considerations relating to CARPEDIEM® use. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study included 19 newborns and six infants receiving CARPEDIEM® in five French pediatric and neonatal intensive care units. Laboratory parameters were collected at the initiation and end of the first CARPEDIEM® session. Results are presented as median [IQR] (range). RESULTS At initiation, age was 4 days [2-13] (1-1134) with a body weight of 3.3 kg [2.5-4] (1.3-11.1). Overall, 131 sessions and 2125 h of treatment were performed. Treatment duration per patient was 42 h [24-91] (8-557). Continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) was performed in 20 children. Blood flow rate was 8 mL/kg/min [6-9] (3-16). The effluent flow rate for CVVH was 74 mL/kg/h [43-99] (28-125) and net ultrafiltration (UF) 6 mL/kg/h [2-8] (1-12). In the five children treated by hemodialysis, the blood and dialysate flow rates were 6 mL/kg/min [5-7] (4-7) and 600 mL/h [300-600] (120-600), respectively, while session duration was 8 h [6-12] (2-24). Most infants required a catheter between 4.5 and 6.5 French. Hemodynamic instability with a need for volume replacement occurred in 31 sessions (23%). Thrombocytopenia was observed in 29 sessions (22%). No hemorrhage occurred; all the patients survived the sessions, but only eight patients (32%) were alive at hospital discharge. CONCLUSIONS These data confirm that the use of CARPEDIEM® is safe and effective in critically ill neonates and infants. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.
