Development and Temporal Validation of a Machine Learning Model to Predict Clinical Deterioration.

Journal Article Hosp Pediatr · January 1, 2024 OBJECTIVES: Early warning scores detecting clinical deterioration in pediatric inpatients have wide-ranging performance and use a limited number of clinical features. This study developed a machine learning model leveraging multiple static and dynamic clin ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cardiac arrest in the paediatric intensive care unit: defining the problem and developing solutions.

Journal Article BMJ Open Qual · December 2020 Thousands of children experience a cardiac arrest event in the hospital each year, with more than half of these patients not surviving to hospital discharge. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) depth, rate, velocity and percentage of high-quality chest com ... Full text Open Access Link to item Cite

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Hemodynamic Support.

Journal Article Clin Perinatol · September 2020 Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was first successfully achieved in 1975 in a neonate with meconium aspiration. Neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has expanded to include hemodynamic support in cardiovascular collapse before and after cardiac ... Full text Link to item Cite

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in children with heart disease

Chapter · January 1, 2018 Over the past two decades survival from pediatric cardiac arrest has improved dramatically, particularly in the in-hospital setting, from 15% to nearly 50%. The reasons for this are multifactorial and include but are likely not limited to the use of ECPR, ... Full text Cite

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in an infant of a diabetic mother.

Journal Article Cardiol Young · July 2017 Infants of diabetic mothers are at risk for transient hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. These infants are typically asymptomatic, but may develop signs of poor cardiac output from left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. This case illustrates the successful ...

Successful continuous renal replacement therapy using two single-lumen catheters in neonates and infants with cardiac disease.

Journal Article Pediatr Nephrol · December 2013 BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) frequently occurs in neonates and infants after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and may require renal replacement therapy (RRT). Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is the RRT modality of choice in neonates with AKI after CPB, but c ... Full text Link to item Cite

Response to a single dose of sildenafil in single-ventricle patients: an echocardiographic evaluation.

Journal Article Pediatr Cardiol · October 2013 New evidence of increased phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) in hypertrophied human myocardium suggests that sildenafil, a selective PDE-5 inhibitor, may improve muscle contraction and therefore improve ventricular function. The purpose of this study was to compa ... Full text Link to item Cite

Side-arm grafts for femoral extracorporeal membrane oxygenation cannulation.

Journal Article Ann Thorac Surg · November 2012 Lower extremity ischemia is an important source of morbidity with femoral venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. We describe our experience with the use of a side-arm graft sewn to the femoral artery that facilitates adequate extracorpor ... Full text Link to item Cite
