Abstract
Concerns related to poor oxygenation in patients with severe hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) may be prohibitive when considering their candidacy for liver transplantation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been utilized in only a few case reports as a bridge to liver transplant in patients with severe respiratory failure. We report a case of a 66-year-old man with cirrhosis and very severe (arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) < 50 mmHg) hepatopulmonary syndrome who underwent an orthotopic liver transplant with the planned use of venovenous-ECMO. Pre-transplant echocardiography demonstrated a small-trivial patent foramen ovale (PFO) but following the resolution of hepatopulmonary shunting after liver transplantation, the PFO size enlarged and contributed to a thromboembolic stroke. We conclude that well-selected patients with HPS could benefit from the use of planned venovenous-ECMO and that a small-trivial PFO seen in a patient with HPS may warrant intervention prior to transplantation.

J Pediatr Intensive Care 2024; 13:100-107. [PMID: 38571988 PMCID: PMC10987217 DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1740215] [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: 07/10/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Assessing functional motor changes and their relationship to discharge needs in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) population is difficult given challenges quantifying small functional gains with current tools. Therefore, we compared the Physical Abilities and Mobility Scale (PAMS) to the Functional Status Scale (FSS) in PICU patients to assess correlation and differences and association with discharge needs. This study was a retrospective chart review of all patients (2-18 years old) admitted to the PICU and cardiac PICU for over 9 months who received early mobility services, including PAMS and FSS scoring. Correlation between scales, relationship of scores to disposition, and logistic regression model of changes in PAMS in relation to disposition were determined. Data were obtained for 122 patients. PAMS and FSS scores strongly negatively correlated (Spearman's ρ = - 0.85), but with a nonlinear relationship, as the PAMS more readily differentiated among patients with higher functional status. The median FSS at discharge was 12.5 for those recommended an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) ( n = 24), versus 9 for those recommended discharge home ( n = 83, Δ 3.5, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1-6, around one-tenth of FSS scale). The corresponding median PAMS were 42 and 66 (Δ 24, 95% CI: 10-30, one-fourth of PAMS scale). Although not statistically significant, a logistic regression model was consistent with patients who showed modest change in PAMS across hospitalization but persistent deficits (PAMS < 60) were more likely to be recommended an IRF. The PAMS correlates to the FSS, but appears more sensitive to small functional changes, especially in higher functioning patients. It may be useful in prognosticating discharge needs.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to explore the factors influencing early mobilisation behaviours and patients' needs in critically ill patients after liver transplantation (LT). This interview study used phenomenological research, and Pender's health promotion model (HPM) was used to construct the interview guide. With the use of purposeful sampling, a total of 19 critically ill patients who experienced early mobilisation after LT were recruited at three tertiary hospitals in Beijing from August to November 2022. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using Colaizzi's seven-step method. Nine themes were categorised into the three domains of Pender's HPM. The first domain was individual characteristics and experiences: (1) symptoms of end-stage liver disease limiting premobility behaviours and (2) previous treatment experience affecting understanding of early mobilisation after LT. The second domain was behaviour-specific cognition and affect: (3) coexistence of benefits and concerns in early mobilisation after LT, (4) barriers to early mobilisation after LT, (5) high self-efficacy in early mobilisation after LT, (6) individual differences in early mobilisation and (7) support and encouragement from family, wardmates and medical staff. The final domain was behavioural outcomes: (8) the need for sufficient staff, a quiet environment, safety, goals, guidance and family participation and (9) a strong willingness to comply with early mobilisation plans. The three areas and nine themes extracted in this study are helpful for the long-term development of early mobilisation in patients after LT.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of an interactive robot on Turkish children's post-operative anxiety, mobilization, and parents' satisfaction related to post-operative care. METHOD A randomized controlled study was conducted with 84 children who will undergo day surgery aged 5-10 years and their parents at a university hospital between June 2020-April 2022. The interactive robot was provided to accompany the children during the postoperative mobilization. Children in the control group received standard care during mobilization. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Children's State Anxiety (CSA), Parental Satisfaction Scale-Visual Analog Scale, and Mobilization Chart. RESULTS It was determined that the CSA score of the children in the control group were higher than the intervention group before their first mobilization after surgery (p = 0.005). During the first (p = 0.042) and second (p = 0.012) mobilization, it was determined that the mobilization duration of children in the intervention group was longer than the children in the control group. It was found that the parents of the children in the intervention group had a high level of satisfaction. CONCLUSION It has been determined that interactive robots positively affect postoperative mobilization in children undergoing day surgery, reduce the anxiety level of children before mobilization, and increase the duration of mobilization. In addition, the use of interactive robots increased parents' satisfaction with post-operative mobilization care. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS Using interactive robots to reduce the stress and anxiety of children during the perioperative process can be a promising approach to improve their recovery by providing early mobilization.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children in PICUs experience negative sequelae of immobility; however, interprofessional staff concerns about safety are a barrier to early mobilization. Our objective was to determine the safety profile of early mobilization in PICU patients. METHODS We conducted a secondary analysis of a 2-day study focused on physical rehabilitation in 82 PICUs in 65 US hospitals. Patients who had ≥72-hour admissions and participated in a mobility event were included. The primary outcome was occurrence of a potential safety event during mobilizations. RESULTS On 1433 patient days, 4658 mobility events occurred with a potential safety event rate of 4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 3.6%-4.7%). Most potential safety events were transient physiologic changes. Medical equipment dislodgement was rare (0.3%), with no falls or cardiac arrests. Potential safety event rates did not differ by patient age or sex. Patients had higher potential safety event rates if they screened positive for delirium (7.8%; adjusted odds ratio, 5.86; 95% CI, 2.17-15.86) or were not screened for delirium (4.7%; adjusted odds ratio, 3.98; 95% CI, 1.82-8.72). There were no differences in potential safety event rates by PICU intervention, including respiratory support or vasoactive support. CONCLUSIONS Early PICU mobilization has a strong safety profile and medical equipment dislodgement is rare. No PICU interventions were associated with increased potential safety event rates. Delirium is associated with higher potential safety event rates. These findings highlight the need to improve provider education and confidence in mobilizing critically ill children.

Abstract
RATIONALE A guideline that both evaluates current practice and provides recommendations to address sedation, pain, and delirium management with regard for neuromuscular blockade and withdrawal is not currently available. OBJECTIVE To develop comprehensive clinical practice guidelines for critically ill infants and children, with specific attention to seven domains of care including pain, sedation/agitation, iatrogenic withdrawal, neuromuscular blockade, delirium, PICU environment, and early mobility. DESIGN The Society of Critical Care Medicine Pediatric Pain, Agitation, Neuromuscular Blockade, and Delirium in critically ill pediatric patients with consideration of the PICU Environment and Early Mobility Guideline Taskforce was comprised of 29 national experts who collaborated from 2009 to 2021 via teleconference and/or e-mail at least monthly for planning, literature review, and guideline development, revision, and approval. The full taskforce gathered annually in-person during the Society of Critical Care Medicine Congress for progress reports and further strategizing with the final face-to-face meeting occurring in February 2020. Throughout this process, the Society of Critical Care Medicine standard operating procedures Manual for Guidelines development was adhered to. METHODS Taskforce content experts separated into subgroups addressing pain/analgesia, sedation, tolerance/iatrogenic withdrawal, neuromuscular blockade, delirium, PICU environment (family presence and sleep hygiene), and early mobility. Subgroups created descriptive and actionable Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome questions. An experienced medical information specialist developed search strategies to identify relevant literature between January 1990 and January 2020. Subgroups reviewed literature, determined quality of evidence, and formulated recommendations classified as "strong" with "we recommend" or "conditional" with "we suggest." Good practice statements were used when indirect evidence supported benefit with no or minimal risk. Evidence gaps were noted. Initial recommendations were reviewed by each subgroup and revised as deemed necessary prior to being disseminated for voting by the full taskforce. Individuals who had an overt or potential conflict of interest abstained from relevant votes. Expert opinion alone was not used in substitution for a lack of evidence. RESULTS The Pediatric Pain, Agitation, Neuromuscular Blockade, and Delirium in critically ill pediatric patients with consideration of the PICU Environment and Early Mobility taskforce issued 44 recommendations (14 strong and 30 conditional) and five good practice statements. CONCLUSIONS The current guidelines represent a comprehensive list of practical clinical recommendations for the assessment, prevention, and management of key aspects for the comprehensive critical care of infants and children. Main areas of focus included 1) need for the routine monitoring of pain, agitation, withdrawal, and delirium using validated tools, 2) enhanced use of protocolized sedation and analgesia, and 3) recognition of the importance of nonpharmacologic interventions for enhancing patient comfort and comprehensive care provision.

Abstract
PURPOSE Early mobility (EM) and patient communication have known benefits for critically ill patients, but perceived barriers exist, notably related to family and caregiver concerns. Caregiver perceptions of an EM and communication therapy protocol in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were assessed. METHODS Caregivers of PICU patients at a free-standing academic children's hospital completed a survey using a Likert-type agreement scale on their perceptions surrounding the safety of EM, benefits of EM and communication, and barriers to EM and communication services. RESULTS Forty caregivers completed the survey. Most agreed or strongly agreed that EM helped their child get stronger (76%), improved their child's mood (57%), helped them to be involved in their child's care (86%), and improved their child's overall experience (78%). Most disagreed with statements relating to EM causing fear or pain (57%). Caregivers agreed that communication therapy improved overall ICU experience (75%). Free-text comments emphasized meaningful relationships with rehabilitation and unit staff. CONCLUSION Caregivers perceived EM and communication interventions as enriching to their child's ICU experience and the majority did not perceive that EM caused fear or pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES With decreasing mortality in PICUs, a growing number of survivors experience long-lasting physical impairments. Early physical rehabilitation and mobilization during critical illness are safe and feasible, but little is known about the prevalence in PICUs. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of rehabilitation for critically ill children and associated barriers. DESIGN National 2-day point prevalence study. SETTING Eighty-two PICUs in 65 hospitals across the United States. PATIENTS All patients admitted to a participating PICU for greater than or equal to 72 hours on each point prevalence day. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The primary outcome was prevalence of physical therapy- or occupational therapy-provided mobility on the study days. PICUs also prospectively collected timing of initial rehabilitation team consultation, clinical and patient mobility data, potential mobility-associated safety events, and barriers to mobility. The point prevalence of physical therapy- or occupational therapy-provided mobility during 1,769 patient-days was 35% and associated with older age (adjusted odds ratio for 13-17 vs < 3 yr, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.5-3.1) and male gender (adjusted odds ratio for females, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.61-0.95). Patients with higher baseline function (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category, ≤ 2 vs > 2) less often had rehabilitation consultation within the first 72 hours (27% vs 38%; p < 0.001). Patients were completely immobile on 19% of patient-days. A potential safety event occurred in only 4% of 4,700 mobility sessions, most commonly a transient change in vital signs. Out-of-bed mobility was negatively associated with the presence of an endotracheal tube (adjusted odds ratio, 0.13; 95% CI, 0.1-0.2) and urinary catheter (adjusted odds ratio, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.1-0.6). Positive associations included family presence in children less than 3 years old (adjusted odds ratio, 4.55; 95% CI, 3.1-6.6). CONCLUSIONS Younger children, females, and patients with higher baseline function less commonly receive rehabilitation in U.S. PICUs, and early rehabilitation consultation is infrequent. These findings highlight the need for systematic design of rehabilitation interventions for all critically ill children at risk of functional impairments.

Abstract
Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) initially started in the early 2000s as a series of protocols to improve the perioperative care of surgical patients. They aimed to increase patient satisfaction while reducing postoperative complications and postoperative length of stay. Despite these protocols being widely adopted in many fields of surgery, they are yet to be adopted in pancreatic transplantation: a high-risk surgery with often prolonged length of postoperative stay and high rate of complications. We have analysed the literature in pancreatic and transplantation surgery to identify the necessary preoperative, intra-operative and postoperative components of an ERAS pathway in pancreas transplantation.

Abstract
Purpose of Review We briefly review post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) and the morbidities associated with critical illness that led to the intensive care unit (ICU) liberation movement. We review each element of the ICU liberation bundle, including pediatric support data, as well as tips and strategies for implementation in a pediatric ICU (PICU) setting. Recent Findings Numerous studies have found children have cognitive, physical, and psychiatric deficits after a PICU stay. The effects of the full ICU liberation bundle in children have not been published, but in adults, bundle implementation (even partial) resulted in significant improvement in survival, mechanical ventilation use, coma, delirium, restraint-free care, ICU readmissions, and post-ICU discharge disposition. Summary Although initially described in adults, children also suffer from PICS. The ICU liberation bundle is feasible in children and may ameliorate the effects of a PICU stay. Further studies are needed to characterize the benefits of the ICU liberation bundle in children.
