Diaphragm Atrophy During Pediatric Acute Respiratory Failure Is Associated With Prolonged Noninvasive Ventilation Requirement Following Extubation
Conclusions: Diaphragm atrophy is associated with prolonged postextubation noninvasive positive pressure ventilation in children with acute respiratory failure. Serial bedside diaphragm ultrasound may identify children at risk for prolonged noninvasive positive pressure ventilation use after extubation.

The Epidemiology of Vasospasm in Children With Moderate-to-Severe Traumatic Brain Injury*
Conclusions: Vasospasm occurs in a sizeable number of children with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury. Children in whom vasospasm developed were more likely to have been involved in a motor vehicle accident, had higher Injury Severity Scores, had fever at admission, and had lower Glasgow Coma scores than in those whom vasospasm did not develop. Based on these findings, we recommend aggressive screening for posttraumatic vasospasm in these patients. Future studies should establish the relationship between vasospasm and long-term functional outcomes and should also evaluate potential preventative or therapeutic opti...

Bedside Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Abnormal Diaphragmatic Motion in Children After Heart Surgery
Conclusions: Chest ultrasound performed by intensivists is a valid tool for the diagnosis of diaphragmatic paralysis, presenting greater sensitivity and specificity than fluoroscopy. Chest ultrasound should be routinely used after pediatric heart surgery given its reliability, reproducibility, availability, and safety.

Doppler Ultrasonography of the Central Retinal Vessels in Children With Brain Death*
Conclusion: This study supports that the combination of qualitative waveform analysis and quantitative blood flow variables of the central retinal vessels may have the potential to be developed as an ancillary study for supporting the diagnosis of brain death in children.

Multisite Veno-Venous Cannulation for Neonates and Nonambulatory Children*
CONCLUSIONS: Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation accessing the jugular and returning to the femoral vein was performed safely in patients under 10 kg with the smallest patient weighing 2.1 kg. Although occlusion of the common femoral vein was observed in patients post decannulation, subsequent follow-up demonstrated no clinical implications. We challenge current practice that veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation accessing the jugular and returning to the femoral vein cannot be performed in nonambulatory patients and suggest that this strategy is preferred over veno-arterial extracorporeal mem...

Critical care ultrasound training: A survey of US fellowship directors
Conclusions: This study identified deficiencies in current training, suggesting a need for a formal curriculum for bedside ultrasound training in CC fellowship programs.

Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Moderate to Severe Congenital Heart Disease
Conclusions: Infants with congenital heart disease commonly develop intraventricular hemorrhage, particularly when born preterm. However, the vast majority of intraventricular hemorrhage is low-grade and is associated with gestational age and African-American race

Comparison of lung ultrasound-based weaning indices with rapid shallow breathing index: Are they helpful ?
Conclusion: In Intensive Care Unit, RSBI is the best clinical tool for weaning, and DC is found to be the best parameter for weaning among the US-based weaning parameters. It can even be a substitute for RSBI, in today's world of real-time monitoring methods.

Bedside Critical Care 2013
A quick heads up about this year’s not-for-profit Bedside Critical Care conference in Cairns. Last year’s conference was great — I got to invite people to come join the FOAM party using one of my favourite medical stories (together with plenty of slides of phallic vegetables, of course), as well give a heap of tox talks and workshops over 5 days. Sadly, I won’t be there this year, but there will be even better people there instead! This is what is happening in Cairns, north Queensland from September 23rd to 27th 2013 at Shangri La on the marina: high impact clinical update talks are mixed with hands o...

Imaging in Neurocritical Care Practice
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2017; 38: 840-852 DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1608770The use of neuroimaging in conjunction with serial neurological examinations is a core component of modern neurocritical care practice. Although there is a growing role for other neuromonitoring techniques, the ability to quickly and accurately interpret images in the context of a patient's clinical status arguably remains the indispensable skill for neurocritical care practitioners. Due to its rapid acquisition time and excellent ability to detect intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), cerebral edema, and signs of elevated intracranial pressure, computed tom...
