We evaluate the results and complications of our intraventricular fibrinolysis protocol. ⋯ Intraventricular fibrinolysis does not appear to involve a high rate of complications, and may result in lesser mortality, with a better functional outcome after three months than that estimated and published in the literature in reference to intraventricular hemorrhage.

Observational Study
[Pediatric critical care in an adult ICU. Utility of the PIM index].
An analysis is made of the characteristics of patients younger than 14 years treated in an adult ICU (AICU), to determine the procedures and techniques required by such patients, and to evaluate the use of the Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) in stratifying severity. ⋯ The PIM score can stratify severity and identify patients at an increased risk of death. Critical child care in the AICU requires the presence of adequate materials and the continuous learning of procedures adapted to pediatric patients in order to ensure adequate care.
