Observational StudyDelirium in the Pediatric Cardiac Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Patient Population: A Case Series.
To determine the prevalence of delirium in children who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. ⋯ In this cohort, delirium occurred in all children who required venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. It is likely that this patient population has an extremely high risk for delirium and will benefit from routine screening in order to detect and treat delirium sooner. This has potential to improve both short- and long-term outcomes.

Comparative Study Observational StudyIncreased Risk of Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Children Treated With Vancomycin and Piperacillin/Tazobactam.
Compare the rates of acute kidney injury in critically ill children treated with vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam versus vancomycin and ceftriaxone. ⋯ In critically ill children, acute kidney injury occurred more in patients treated with vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam versus vancomycin plus ceftriaxone. After controlling for covariates, exposure to piperacillin-tazobactam was associated with an increased odds of acute kidney injury development.
