Being and Becoming: Narrative Records of Pediatric Critical Care Clinicians
Medical humanities initiatives have been integrated in our Pediatric Critical Care program to help clinicians make meaning of key experiences in their professional and personal journeys. In particular, narrative medicine and clinicians’ writings illuminate and commemorate these journeys and increase our understanding of our profession in its full complexity. In this piece, we provide an example of a medical humanities curriculum and a selection of pieces written by several participants in it. These pieces form a collective narrative, portraying aspects of our individual and collective biography. (Source: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine)

Functional Status and Hospital Readmission After Pediatric Critical Disease: A Year Follow-Up
Conclusion:
FSS-Brazil rating at hospital discharge, age, and length of stay were associated with greater hazard of nonelective hospital readmission within 1 year of discharge. (Source: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine)

ICU Admission Tool for Congenital Heart Catheterization (iCATCH): A Predictive Model for High Level Post-Catheterization Care and Patient Management
Conclusions:
The creation of a validated pre-procedural risk prediction model for ICU admission following congenital cardiac catheterization using a large volume, single-center, academic institution will improve resource allocation and prediction of capacity needs for this complex patient population.

Treatment Algorithm for Patients With von Willebrand Syndrome Type 2A and Congenital Heart Disease—A Treatment Algorithm May Reduce Perioperative Blood Loss in Children With Congenital Heart Disease
Objectives:
In children with congenital heart disease (CHD), excessive perioperative bleeding is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, thus making adequate perioperative hemostasis crucial. We investigate the prevalence of acquired von Willebrand syndrome type 2A (aVWS) in CHD and develop a treatment algorithm for patients with aVWS and CHD (TAPAC) to reduce perioperative blood loss.
Design:
Retrospective cohort study.
Setting:
Single-center study.
Patients:
A total of 627 patients with CHD, undergoing corrective cardiac surgery between January 2008 and May 2017.
Interventions:
...

Long-Term Pulmonary Outcomes in Children Mechanically Ventilated for Severe Bronchiolitis*
This study investigates children with a history of invasive mechanical ventilation for bronchiolitis, addressing: 1) the extent, 2) potential explanatory factors, and 3) possible impact on daily life activities of adverse long-term pulmonary outcomes.
Design:
Single-center cohort study.
Setting:
Outpatient PICU follow-up clinic.
Patients:
Children 6–12 years old with a history of invasive mechanical ventilation for bronchiolitis (age (Source: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine)

Early Peritoneal Dialysis and Postoperative Outcomes in Infants After Pediatric Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis*
Conclusions:
This review suggests that early initiation of PD may be associated with beneficial postoperative outcomes in infants after cardiac surgery. However, these results were based on studies of varying qualities and risk of bias. Early identification of high-risk infants after cardiac surgery is important so that prevention or early mitigation strategies can be applied to this cohort. Future prospective studies in high-risk populations are needed to study the role of early PD in influencing postoperative outcomes. (Source: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine)

Prophylactic Enoxaparin Against Catheter-Associated Thrombosis in Postoperative Cardiac Children: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis
Conclusions:
The temporal association between increase in percentage of catheter-days on enoxaparin and decrease in rate of thrombosis suggests the effectiveness of prophylactic enoxaparin. (Source: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine)

Pediatric Delirium and All-Cause PICU Readmissions Within 1 Year*
Conclusions:
In this cohort, delirium duration was an independent risk factor for readmission in critically ill children. Future research is needed to determine if decreasing prevalence of delirium during hospitalization can decrease need for PICU readmission. (Source: Pediatric Critical Care Medicine)
