Meta AnalysisAortic Peak Flow Velocity As a Predictor of Fluid Responsiveness in Mechanically Ventilated Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
This meta-analysis aimed to determine the accuracy of the respiratory variations in aortic peak flow velocity (delta Vpeak) in predicting fluid responsiveness and the moderators of that accuracy. ⋯ By using the cutoff of approximately 12.3%, the delta Vpeak appears to have good accuracy in predicting fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated children. The moderators of delta Vpeak predictability are not found.

Multicenter StudyUnplanned Extubation During Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care: U.S. Multicenter Registry Study of Prevalence and Outcomes.
The epidemiology of unplanned extubations (UEs) and associated adverse outcomes in pediatric cardiac ICUs (CICU). ⋯ UE in CICU patients is associated with greater odds of cardiac arrest, VAP, and MCS. Cardiac medical and surgical patients in the CICU appear to have different explanatory factors associated with UE, and perhaps these may be modifiable and tested in future collaborative population research.
