This is another excellent issue of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) for July; congratulations to our authors and many thanks to all reviewers. This month, my Editor's Choice articles cover three topics: clinical pathophysiology in pediatric patients supported using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO); unplanned extubation of endotracheal tubes in pediatric cardiac ICU (CICU) patients; and sepsis biomarkers in the low-middle income (LMIC) resource setting. The PCCM Connections for Readers focuses on a novel pediatric theme in lung mechanics physiology, i.e., mechanical power in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS).
