Endobronchial Intubation to Facilitate Extraluminal Bronchial Blocker Placement in Young Children: A Retrospective Case Series.
Extraluminal bronchial blocker placement has become a well-accepted approach to one-lung ventilation in young children. In some cases, technical issues with placement may require alternative approaches to correct bronchial blocker positioning. The primary aim of this study was to review the authors' experience with using endobronchial intubation to facilitate extraluminal bronchial blocker placement in young children. ⋯ Mainstem intubation can be used to facilitate bronchial blocker placement in young children and represents an alternative approach to extraluminal bronchial blocker placement.

Impact of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Service on Burnout Development in Eight Intensive Care Units. A National Cross-Sectional Study.
This study aimed at investigating the effects of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) service on Burnout syndrome (BOS) development in the intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ Burnout was equally prevalent among participants from ECMO- and non-ECMO-ICU, but PA was lower among participants in the ICU with an ECMO service. The reported high prevalence of burnout, and its predictors, requires special attention to try to reduce its occurrence.

Predicting the Response of Hydroxocobalamin in Postoperative Vasoplegia in Recipients of Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
The primary aim of this study was to identify predictors of response to hydroxocobalamin. ⋯ Shorter total bypass duration and more rapid utilization after bypass of hydroxocobalamin were associated with a higher likelihood of response to refractory vasoplegic shock.
