Critical Care Management of the Patient with Clostridioides difficile
CONCLUSIONS: Strong clinical evidence supports limiting antibiotics when possible to decrease C. difficile infection risk. For patients with fulminant C. difficile infection, oral vancomycin reduces mortality, and adjunctive therapies (including IV metronidazole) and interventions (including fecal microbiota transplant) may benefit select patients. Several important questions remain regarding fulminant C. difficile infection management, including which patients benefit from fecal microbiota transplant or surgery.

A Competency-Based Curriculum for Critical Care Nurse Practitioners' Transition to Practice.
CONCLUSIONS: The curriculum developed and validated in this study can become the basis for practice transition for novice nurse practitioners. The curriculum is adaptable and can be used for surgical and medical intensive care units. As refined, the competencies provide a validated foundation for training of new-graduate nurse practitioners in the intensive care unit. PMID: 30173173 [PubMed - in process]

The Current State of Combined Pediatric Anesthesiology-Critical Care Practice: A Survey of Dual-Trained Practitioners in the United States.
CONCLUSIONS: The current cohort of pediatric anesthesiologist-intensivists in the United States is a small but accomplished group of physicians. Efforts to train, recruit, and retain such providers must address systematic barriers to completion of the requisite training and continued practice.

Magnitude and Pace of Improvement in Performance of Hospitals Treating Mechanically Ventilated Children in the United States: Analysis From Two National Databases
Conclusions: This study provides insight into the magnitude of improvement in patient mortality in hospitals caring for critically ill children in the United States. This study quantifies hospital performance in pediatric critical care over time, and it provides benchmarks against which individual hospitals can assess their own performance. In future pediatric epidemiologic studies, we should identify outcomes other than mortality to quantify improvement in hospital performance.

SARS-CoV-2 With Concurrent Respiratory Viral Infection as a Risk Factor for a Higher Level of Care in Hospitalized Pediatric Patients
This study was performed to evaluate if the presence of concurrent respiratory viral infections in pediatric patients admitted to the hospital with SARS-CoV-2 was associated with an increased rate of ICU level of care. Design A multicenter, international, noninterventional, cross-sectional study using data provided through The Society of Critical Care Medicine Discovery Network Viral Infection and Respiratory Illness Universal Study database. Setting The medical ward and ICU of 67 participating hospitals. Patients Pediatric patients younger than 18 years hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2. Interventions ...

External Validation of the “Quick” Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 Score Using a Large North American Cohort of Critically Ill Children With Suspected Infection
Conclusions: Quick Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction 2 performed markedly worse in our cohort, compared with the original study, and the high rate of false negatives limits its clinical utility in our population. Further work is needed to develop a robust quick pediatric sepsis diagnostic tool for both research and clinical care.

Geographic Distance to Extracorporeal Life Support Centers for Pediatric Patients Within the Continental United States
CONCLUSIONS: Disparities in proximity to extracorporeal life support centers were present and persistent across states. Children in rural areas have less access to extracorporeal life support centers based upon geographic distance alone. These findings may affect practice patterns and treatment decisions and are important to the development of regionalization strategies to ensure all children have subspecialty surgical care available to them, including extracorporeal life support.

Derivation and Validation of the Critical Bronchiolitis Score for the PICU
CONCLUSIONS: The Critical Bronchiolitis Score performed better than PICU mortality-based scores in measuring expected duration of ICU-level respiratory support and ICU length of stay. This score may have utility to enrich interventional trials and adjust for illness severity in observational studies in this very common PICU condition.

Scaling the Measurement of Pediatric Acuity Using the Complexity Assessment and Monitoring to Ensure Optimal Outcomes (CAMEO II) Tool
This study used a modified Delphi technique. Results: Through a series of 3 Delphi rounds, the expert panel identified care items not characterized in the original CAMEO and assigned each of these items a cognitive workload scale of 1 to 5. The expert panel identified 4 additional Domains of Care while confirming the original 14 Domains of Care in the first CAMEO version. The panel agreed that a number of care items could be classified as “Standard of Care,” reducing items in the CAMEO and generating a baseline score. The panel, serving as ambassadors and unit-based experts, then implemented the refined CAMEO II in ea...
