Meta AnalysisOutcomes of Pediatric Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
The goal of this work is to provide insight into survival and neurologic outcomes of pediatric patients supported with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation. ⋯ The use of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is rapidly expanding, particularly for children with underlying cardiac disease. An overall survival of 46% and favorable neurologic outcomes add credence to this emerging therapy.

Randomized Controlled TrialAge-Dependent Heterogeneity in the Efficacy of Prophylaxis With Enoxaparin Against Catheter-Associated Thrombosis in Critically Ill Children: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Bayesian Phase 2b Randomized Clinical Trial.
We explored the age-dependent heterogeneity in the efficacy of prophylaxis with enoxaparin against central venous catheter-associated deep venous thrombosis in critically ill children. ⋯ The relatively lesser contribution of thrombin generation on central venous catheter-associated thrombus formation in critically ill infants potentially explains the age-dependent heterogeneity in the efficacy of prophylaxis with enoxaparin.
