Acute kidney injury in pediatric intensive care unit: Incidence, risk factors, and outcome
Conclusion: AKI is common in critically sick children, especially in younger age and in females with septicemia and MODS. Use of VD and ND and need of MV are common risk factors. AKI is associated with longer hospital stay and higher mortality. pRIFLE is better diagnostic criteria in early detection of AKI and reduction of their morbidity and mortality.

Prehospital transport practices prevalent among patients presenting to the pediatric emergency of a tertiary care hospital
Conclusions: In relation to prehospital transport among pediatric patients we observed that one-quarter of children presenting to the emergency required admission, the auto-rickshaw was the commonest mode of transport and that there is a lack of prior communication before referring patients for further management.

Profile of micro-organisms in intensive care unit of a level-1 trauma centre: A retrospective study
Conclusions: Isolation of multi-drug resistant pathogens is common among trauma patients admitted in ICU and is associated with increased mortality and could impact on the consumption of hospital resources. The importance of high rate of fungal isolation needs to be studied among these patients.

Relevance of Kampo in emergency and critical care medicine
ABSTRACTWe demonstrate that traditional Japanese medicine, Kampo treatments, are effective in emergency and critical care. There are two ways to use Kampo medicine; using mechanism ‐based Kampo as Western medicine and applying Kampo theory, especially the theory of qi, bloodTM1, and fluidTM1. For example, shakuyakukanzoto rapidly controls myalgia and is used to treat tetanus ‐induced convulsions. Goreisan is used for fluidTM1 disturbance as well as the treatment of vertigo and acute gastroenteritis. Hematoma is considered a form of oketsu or static bloodTM1; therefore, formulations that are useful for treating static b...

Osmotic demyelination syndrome in a normonatremic patient of chronic kidney disease
We report a case of an 18-year-old boy of end-stage renal disease who presented with an episode of acute gastroenteritis. He was managed with aggressive intravenous fluids, hemodialysis and other supportive therapy. But, he developed altered sensorium and seizures that progressed to features of spastic quadriparesis and lower cranial nerve palsy. Neuroimaging showed hyperintensities in pons and midbrain suggestive of ODS. The patient had normal sodium levels at all times and had no evidence of hyponatremia. The patient was managed with hemodialysis, physiotherapy and other conservative measures and had a gradual clinical a...

Feasibility of Family-Assisted Severity of Illness Monitoring for Hospitalized Children in Low-Income Settings
Conclusions: Caregiver involvement in recognition of critical illness in hospitalized children in low-resource settings may be feasible. This may facilitate earlier detection of clinical deterioration where staffing is severely limited by constrained resources. Further validation of the Family-Assisted Severe Febrile Illness Therapy tool is warranted, followed by its application in a larger multisite patient population to assess provider response and associated clinical outcomes.

Device-related infections in a pediatric intensive care unit: The Jordan University of Science and Technology experience
To estimate the prevalence of the most frequent infections related to device utilization and their antimicrobial sensitivity panel, and to investigate the overall incidence of device associated infection rates per 1000 device days, at the pediatric intensive care unit of the Jordan University of Science and Technology. This is a retrospective study from a single pediatric intensive care unit. Data were collected in relation to bloodstream infections associated with central venous catheters, pneumonia associated with ventilator endotracheal tubes, and urinary tract infections associated with Foley catheters, between Janu...

Longer Duration of Urinary Catheterization Increases Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infection in PICU
Conclusions: Longer duration of catheterization increased the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection by 5% each day at the PICU. Prompt removal of the urethral catheter is strongly recommended whenever feasible.

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). HUS is a clinical syndrome characterized by macroangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Early diagnosis and supportive treatment of HUS ar...

Medical Emergencies in Pulmonary Hypertension
Semin Respir Crit Care Med DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1770120The management of acute medical emergencies in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) can be challenging. Patients with preexisting PH can rapidly deteriorate due to right ventricular decompensation when faced with acute physiological challenges that would usually be considered low-risk scenarios. This review considers the assessment and management of acute medical emergencies in patients with PH, encompassing both pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), acknowledging these comprise the more severe groups of PH...

Adherence to standard admission and discharge criteria and its association with outcome of pediatric intensive care unit cases in Al-Ahrar Hospital Zagazig
Conclusion PICU facilities at Al-Ahrar Hospital, Zagazig are insufficient to meet the demand. An admission score based on the PIM-2 score could assist in the selection of patients for these limited PICU facilities.
