Pertussis Infants Needing Mechanical Ventilation and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Single-Center Retrospective Series in Vietnam

Critical Care Surge Response Strategies for the 2020 COVID-19 Outbreak in the United States
Source: RAND Corporation. Published: 4/2020. In this 49-page report, the authors present a list of strategies for creating critical care surge capacity during the COVID-19 pandemic, and estimate the number of patients accommodated, given the number of available critical care doctors and nurses, respiratory therapists, ventilators, and hospital beds. They also document the development of a user-friendly, Microsoft Excel –based tool that allows decision-makers at all levels — hospitals, health care systems, states, regions — to estimate current critical care capacity and rapidly explore strategies for increasing it.

Escherichia coli Complications in Pediatric Critical Care
Escherichia coli is a bacterium that is an important part of the intestinal tract; however, it has the potential to become pathogenic. Shiga toxin –producing E coli (STEC) is a leading cause of E coli infections and has led to outbreaks in North America. Transmission is through ingestion of contaminated food sources, and via infected humans and animals. Young children infected with STEC are at high risk for developing hemolytic uremic syndro me (HUS).

Chikungunya: Report from the task force on tropical diseases by the World Federation of Societies of intensive and critical care medicine
Chikungunya is an arbovirus that is transmitted by the Aedes mosquito causing a febrile illness with periodic outbreaks in large parts of the world.
