Item Clinical Challenges in Pediatric Ventilation Liberation: A Meta-Narrative Review(Wolters Kluwer, 2022) van Dijk, Jefta; Blokpoel, Robert G. T.; Abu-Sultaneh, Samer; Newth, Christopher J. L.; Khemani, Robinder G.; Kneyber, Martin C. J.; Pediatrics, School of MedicineObjectives: To map the evidence for ventilation liberation practices in pediatric respiratory failure using the Realist And MEta-narrative Evidence Syntheses: Evolving Standards publication standards. Data sources: CINAHL, MEDLINE, COCHRANE, and EMBASE. Trial registers included the following: ClinicalTrials.gov, European Union clinical trials register, International Standardized Randomized Controlled Trial Number register. Study selection: Abstracts were screened followed by review of full text. Articles published in English language incorporating a heterogeneous population of both infants and older children were assessed. Data extraction: None. Data synthesis: Weaning can be considered as the process by which positive pressure is decreased and the patient becomes increasingly responsible for generating the energy necessary for effective gas exchange. With the growing use of noninvasive respiratory support, extubation can lie in the middle of the weaning process if some additional positive pressure is used after extubation, while for some extubation may constitute the end of weaning. Testing for extubation readiness is a key component of the weaning process as it allows the critical care practitioner to assess the capability and endurance of the patient's respiratory system to resume unassisted ventilation. Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) are often seen as extubation readiness testing (ERT), but the SBT is used to determine if the patient can maintain adequate spontaneous ventilation with minimal ventilatory support, whereas ERT implies the patient is ready for extubation. Conclusions: Current literature suggests using a structured approach that includes a daily assessment of patient's readiness to extubate may reduce total ventilation time. Increasing evidence indicates that such daily assessments needs to include SBTs without added pressure support. Measures of elevated load as well as measures of impaired respiratory muscle capacity are independently associated with extubation failure in children, indicating that these should also be assessed as part of ERT.Item Decreasing delirium through music listening (DDM) in critically ill, mechanically ventilated older adults in the intensive care unit: a two-arm, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial(BMC, 2022-07-19) Seyffert, Sarah; Moiz, Salwa; Coghlan, Matthew; Balozian, Patil; Nasser, Jason; Rached, Emilio Abi; Jamil, Yasser; Naqvi, Kiran; Rawlings, Lori; Perkins, Anthony J.; Gao, Sujuan; Hunter, J. Downs, III.; Khan, Sikandar; Heiderscheit, Annie; Chlan, Linda L.; Khan, Babar; Medicine, School of MedicineBackground: Delirium is a highly prevalent and morbid syndrome in mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Music is a promising non-pharmacological intervention with beneficial effects on anxiety and stress, while its effects on delirium duration and severity are not well understood. Methods/design: Our study is a two-arm, randomized parallel-group, clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of music intervention compared to a silence-track attention control on delirium/coma duration in mechanically ventilated critically ill older adults. One hundred sixty mechanically ventilated adults 50 years of age or older will be randomized to one of two arms within 72 h of ICU admission: (1) 1-h music listening sessions twice daily through noise-canceling headphones, or (2) 1-h sessions of a silence track twice daily through noise-canceling headphones. Our primary aim is to compare delirium/coma-free days after randomization during the 7-day study intervention phase using the Confusion Assessment Method for the ICU (CAM ICU) and the Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) for delirium and coma. Secondary outcomes include pain and anxiety evaluated twice daily during the intervention phase and throughout the duration of ICU stay using the Critical Care Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) and visual analog scale-anxiety (VAS-A). Enrolled participants will be followed after hospital discharge to further measure cognition as well as screening for depression and anxiety using the following telephone-based instruments: Indiana University Telephone-Based Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (IU TBANS), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Discussion: This randomized clinical trial will measure the efficacy of a music listening intervention for delirium and coma duration early in the intensive care unit among older adults.Item Fluid Overload in Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation(Thieme, 2022-10-11) Sallee, Colin J.; Fitzgerald, Julie C.; Smith, Lincoln S.; Angelo, Joseph R.; Daniel, Megan C.; Gertz, Shira J.; Hsing, Deyin D.; Mahadeo, Kris M.; McArthur, Jennifer A.; Rowan, Courtney M.; Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Sepsis Investigators (PALISI) Network; Pediatrics, School of MedicineThe aim of the study is to examine the relationship between fluid overload (FO) and severity of respiratory dysfunction in children posthematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). This investigation was a secondary analysis of a multicenter retrospective cohort of children (1month to 21 years) postallogeneic HCT with PARDS receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) from 2009 to 2014. Daily FO % (FO%) and daily oxygenation index (OI) were calculated for each patient up to the first week of IMV (day 0 = intubation). Linear mixed-effect regression was employed to examine whether FO% and OI were associated on any day during the study period. In total, 158 patients were included. Severe PARDS represented 63% of the cohort and had higher mortality (78 vs. 42%, p <0.001), fewer ventilator free days at 28 (0 [IQR: 0-0] vs. 14 [IQR: 0-23], p <0.001), and 60 days (0 [IQR: 0-27] v. 45 [IQR: 0-55], p <0.001) relative to nonsevere PARDS. Increasing FO% was strongly associated with higher OI ( p <0.001). For children with 10% FO, OI was higher by nearly 5 points (adjusted β , 4.6, 95% CI: [2.9, 6.3]). In subgroup analyses, the association between FO% and OI was strongest among severe PARDS ( p <0.001) and during the first 3 days elapsed from intubation ( p <0.001). FO% was associated with lower PaO 2 /FiO 2 (adjusted β , -1.92, 95% CI: [-3.11, -0.73], p = 0.002), but not mean airway pressure ( p = 0.746). In a multicenter cohort of children post-HCT with PARDS, FO was independently associated with oxygenation impairment. The associations were strongest among children with severe PARDS and early in the course of IMV.Item Incidence, management, and outcomes of cardiovascular insufficiency in critically ill term and late preterm newborn infants(Thieme, 2014-11) Fernandez, Erika; Watterberg, Kristi L.; Faix, Roger G.; Yoder, Bradley A.; Walsh, Michele C.; Backstrom Lacy, Conra; Osborne, Karen A.; Das, Abhik; Kendrick, Douglas E.; Stoll, Barbara J.; Poindexter, Brenda B.; Laptook, Abbot R.; Kennedy, Kathleen A.; Schibler, Kurt; Bell, Edward F.; Van Meurs, Krisa P.; Frantz III, Ivan D.; Goldberg, Ronald N.; Shankaran, Seetha; Carlo, Waldemar A.; Ehrenkranz, Richard A.; Sánchez, Pablo J.; Higgins, Rosemary D.; Department of Pediatrics, IU School of MedicineOBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to characterize the incidence, management, and short-term outcomes of cardiovascular insufficiency (CVI) in mechanically ventilated newborns, evaluating four separate prespecified definitions. STUDY DESIGN: Multicenter, prospective cohort study of infants ≥34 weeks gestational age (GA) and on mechanical ventilation during the first 72 hours. CVI was prospectively defined as either (1) mean arterial pressure (MAP) < GA; (2) MAP < GA + signs of inadequate perfusion; (3) any therapy for CVI; or (4) inotropic therapy. Short-term outcomes included death, days on ventilation, oxygen, and to full feedings and discharge. RESULTS: Of 647 who met inclusion criteria, 419 (65%) met ≥1 definition of CVI. Of these, 98% received fluid boluses, 36% inotropes, and 17% corticosteroids. Of treated infants, 46% did not have CVI as defined by a MAP < GA ± signs of inadequate perfusion. Inotropic therapy was associated with increased mortality (11.1 vs. 1.3%; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: More than half of the infants met at least one definition of CVI. However, almost half of the treated infants met none of the definitions. Inotropic therapy was associated with increased mortality. These findings can help guide the design of future studies of CVI in newbornsItem Noninvasive Ventilation for Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: Experience From the 2016/2017 Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Incidence and Epidemiology Prospective Cohort Study(Wolters Kluwer, 2023) Emeriaud, Guillaume; Pons-Òdena, Marti; Bhalla, Anoopindar K.; Shein, Steven L.; Killien, Elizabeth Y.; Modesto i Alapont, Vicent; Rowan, Courtney; Baudin, Florent; Lin, John C.; Grégoire, Gabrielle; Napolitano, Natalie; Mayordomo-Colunga, Juan; Diaz, Franco; Cruces, Pablo; Medina, Alberto; Smith, Lincoln; Khemani, Robinder G.; Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress syndrome Incidence and Epidemiology (PARDIE) Investigators; Pediatric Acute Lung Injury and Sepsis Investigators (PALISI) Network; Pediatrics, School of MedicineObjectives: The worldwide practice and impact of noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) is unknown. We sought to describe NIV use and associated clinical outcomes in PARDS. Design: Planned ancillary study to the 2016/2017 prospective Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Incidence and Epidemiology study. Setting: One hundred five international PICUs. Patients: Patients with newly diagnosed PARDS admitted during 10 study weeks. Interventions: None. Measurements and main results: Children were categorized by their respiratory support at PARDS diagnosis into NIV or invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) groups. Of 708 subjects with PARDS, 160 patients (23%) received NIV at PARDS diagnosis (NIV group). NIV failure rate (defined as tracheal intubation or death) was 84 of 160 patients (53%). Higher nonrespiratory pediatric logistic organ dysfunction (PELOD-2) score, Pa o2 /F io2 was less than 100 at PARDS diagnosis, immunosuppression, and male sex were independently associated with NIV failure. NIV failure was 100% among patients with nonrespiratory PELOD-2 score greater than 2, Pa o2 /F io2 less than 100, and immunosuppression all present. Among patients with Pa o2 /F io2 greater than 100, children in the NIV group had shorter total duration of NIV and IMV, than the IMV at initial diagnosis group. We failed to identify associations between NIV use and PICU survival in a multivariable Cox regression analysis (hazard ratio 1.04 [95% CI, 0.61-1.80]) or mortality in a propensity score matched analysis ( p = 0.369). Conclusions: Use of NIV at PARDS diagnosis was associated with shorter exposure to IMV in children with mild to moderate hypoxemia. Even though risk of NIV failure was high in some children, we failed to identify greater hazard of mortality in these patients.Item Pediatric Ventilation Liberation: A Survey of International Practice Among 555 Pediatric Intensivists(Wolters Kluwer, 2022-09-02) Loberger, Jeremy M.; Campbell, Caitlin M.; Colleti, José, Jr.; Borasino, Santiago; Abu-Sultaneh, Samer; Khemani, Robinder G.; Pediatrics, School of MedicinePediatric ventilation liberation has limited evidence, likely resulting in wide practice variation. To inform future work, practice patterns must first be described. Objectives: Describe international pediatric ventilation liberation practices and regional practice variation. Design setting and participants: International cross-sectional electronic survey. Nontrainee pediatric medical and cardiac critical care physicians. Main outcomes and measures: Practices focusing on spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) eligibility, SBT practice, non-SBT extubation readiness bundle elements, and post-extubation respiratory support. Results: Five-hundred fifty-five responses representing 47 countries were analyzed. Most respondents reported weaning followed by an SBT (86.4%). The top SBT eligibility variables reported were positive end-expiratory pressure (95%), Fio2 (93.4%), and peak inspiratory pressure (73.9%). Most reported use of standardized pressure support regardless of endotracheal tube size (40.4%) with +10 cm H2O predominating (38.6%). SBT durations included less than or equal to 30 minutes (34.8%), 31 minutes to 1 hour (39.3%), and greater than 1 hours (26%). In assigning an SBT result, top variables were respiratory rate (94%), oxygen saturation (89.3%), and subjective work of breathing (79.8%). Most reported frequent consideration of endotracheal secretion burden (81.3%), standardized pain/sedation measurement (72.8%), fluid balance (83%), and the endotracheal air leak test as a part of extubation readiness bundles. Most reported using planned high flow nasal cannula in less than or equal to 50% of extubations (83.2%). Top subpopulations supported with planned HFNC were those with chronic lung disease (67.3%), exposed to invasive ventilation greater than 14 days (66.6%), and chronic critical illness (44.9%). Most reported using planned noninvasive ventilation (NIV) following less than or equal to 20% of extubations (79.9%). Top subpopulations supported with planned NIV were those with neuromuscular disease (72.8%), chronic lung disease (66.7%), and chronic NIV use for any reason (61.6%). Regional variation was high for most practices studied. Conclusion and relevance: International pediatric ventilation liberation practices are heterogeneous. Future study is needed to address key evidence gaps. Many practice differences were associated with respondent region, which must be considered in international study design.Item A Pilot Study of Neonatologists' Decision-Making Roles in Delivery Room Resuscitation Counseling for Periviable Births(Taylor and Francis, 2016-07) Tucker Edmonds, Brownsyne; McKenzie, Fatima; Panoch, Janet E.; White, Douglas B.; Barnato, Amber E.; Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of MedicineBACKGROUND: Relatively little is known about neonatologists' roles in helping families navigate the difficult decision to attempt or withhold resuscitation for a neonate delivering at the threshold of viability. Therefore, we aimed to describe the "decision-making role" of neonatologists in simulated periviable counseling sessions. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative content analysis of audio-recorded simulation encounters and post-encounter debriefing interviews collected as part of a single-center simulation study of neonatologists' resuscitation counseling practices in the face of ruptured membranes at 23 weeks gestation. We trained standardized patients to request a recommendation if the physician presented multiple treatment options. We coded each encounter for communication behaviors, applying an adapted, previously developed coding scheme to classify physicians into four decision-making roles (informative, facilitative, collaborative, or directive). We also coded post-simulation debriefing interviews for responses to the open-ended prompt: "During this encounter, what did you feel was your role in the management decision-making process?" RESULTS: Fifteen neonatologists (33% of the division) participated in the study; audio-recorded debriefing interviews were available for 13. We observed 9 (60%) take an informative role, providing medical information only; 2 (13%) take a facilitative role, additionally eliciting the patient's values; 3 (20%) take a collaborative role, additionally engaging the patient in deliberation and providing a recommendation; and 1 (7%) take a directive role, making a treatment decision independent of the patient. Almost all (10/13, 77%) of the neonatologists described their intended role as informative. CONCLUSIONS: Neonatologists did not routinely elicit preferences, engage in deliberation, or provide treatment recommendations-even in response to requests for recommendations. These findings suggest there may be a gap between policy recommendations calling for shared decision making and actual clinical practice.Item Predicting Duration of Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in the Pediatric ICU(Mary Ann Liebert, 2023-11-25) Rogerson, Colin M.; Abu-Sultaneh, Samer; Loberger, Jeremy M.; Ross, Patrick; Khemani, Robinder G.; Sanchez-Pinto, L. Nelson; Pediatrics, School of MedicineBackground: Timely ventilator liberation can prevent morbidities associated with invasive mechanical ventilation in the pediatric ICU (PICU). There currently exists no standard benchmark for duration of invasive mechanical ventilation in the PICU. This study sought to develop and validate a multi-center prediction model of invasive mechanical ventilation duration to determine a standardized duration of invasive mechanical ventilation ratio. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using registry data from 157 institutions in the Virtual Pediatric Systems database. The study population included encounters in the PICU between 2012-2021 involving endotracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation in the first day of PICU admission who received invasive mechanical ventilation for > 24 h. Subjects were stratified into a training cohort (2012-2017) and 2 validation cohorts (2018-2019/2020-2021). Four models to predict the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation were trained using data from the first 24 h, validated, and compared. Results: The study included 112,353 unique encounters. All models had observed-to-expected (O/E) ratios close to one but low mean squared error and R2 values. The random forest model was the best performing model and achieved an O/E ratio of 1.043 (95% CI 1.030-1.056) and 1.004 (95% CI 0.990-1.019) in the validation cohorts and 1.009 (95% CI 1.004-1.016) in the full cohort. There was a high degree of institutional variation, with single-unit O/E ratios ranging between 0.49-1.91. When stratified by time period, there were observable changes in O/E ratios at the individual PICU level over time. Conclusions: We derived and validated a model to predict the duration of invasive mechanical ventilation that performed well in aggregated predictions at the PICU and the cohort level. This model could be beneficial in quality improvement and institutional benchmarking initiatives for use at the PICU level and for tracking of performance over time.Item Seizures, renal failure and acute respiratory failure: not your typical case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura(BMJ, 2019-07-17) Bose, Subhasish; Pathireddy, Samata; Baradhi, Krishna M.; Aeddula, Narothama Reddy; Medicine, School of MedicineA 30-year-old Caucasian woman with no prior medical history presented with pedal oedema, arthralgias and abdominal pain with diarrhoea, following a respiratory infection. She had mild abdominal tenderness along with a purpuric rash on the extremities and was anaemic. Following initial workup for anaemia and rash, her condition deteriorated with renal impairment, respiratory failure and seizures necessitating ventilatory support, dialysis and steroids. Serologies were negative, and skin biopsy showed leucocytoclastic vasculitis without vascular IgA deposition, and renal biopsy showed subendothelial, mesangial deposits of IgA with C3 indicative of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP). She was treated with steroids, haemodialysis and on 6-month follow-up recovered renal function. We present the case to illustrate that HSP, though rare in adults, can present with multiorgan failure, with renal, pulmonary and central nervous system involvement, and the need for early diagnosis and prompt treatment for rapid clinical recovery.Item Variation in extubation failure rates after neonatal congenital heart surgery across Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium hospitals(Elsevier, 2017-06) Benneyworth, Brian D.; Mastropietro, Christopher W.; Graham, Eric M.; Klugman, Darren; Costello, John M.; Zhang, Wenying; Gaies, Michael; Pediatrics, School of MedicineOBJECTIVE: In a multicenter cohort of neonates recovering from cardiac surgery, we sought to describe the epidemiology of extubation failure and its variability across centers, identify risk factors, and determine its impact on outcomes. METHODS: We analyzed prospectively collected clinical registry data on all neonates undergoing cardiac surgery in the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium database from October 2013 to July 2015. Extubation failure was defined as reintubation less than 72 hours after the first planned extubation. Risk factors were identified using multivariable logistic regression with generalized estimating equations to account for within-center correlation. RESULTS: The cohort included 899 neonates from 14 Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium centers; 14% were premature, 20% had genetic abnormalities, 18% had major extracardiac anomalies, and 74% underwent surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. Extubation failure occurred in 103 neonates (11%), within 24 hours in 61%. Unadjusted rates of extubation failure ranged from 5% to 22% across centers; this variability was unchanged after adjusting for procedural complexity and airway anomaly. After multivariable analysis, only airway anomaly was identified as an independent risk factor for extubation failure (odds ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-6.7; P = .01). Neonates who failed extubation had a greater median postoperative length of stay (33 vs 23 days, P < .001) and in-hospital mortality (8% vs 2%, P = .002). CONCLUSIONS: This multicenter study showed that 11% of neonates recovering from cardiac surgery fail initial postoperative extubation. Only congenital airway anomaly was independently associated with extubation failure. We observed a 4-fold variation in extubation failure rates across hospitals, suggesting a role for collaborative quality improvement to optimize outcomes.
