“…Several pediatric studies have shown increased mortality rates for patients cannulated after 30 minutes of conventional CPR. 7,11,28,34 However, other retrospective studies [8][9][10]12,20,26,27,29,31,32 of pediatric patients have shown positive outcomes with median CPR duration of 30 to 50 minutes. Even more interesting are the multiple case reports 24,27,30,32,37 of successful cannulation and survival to discharge in patients receiving CPR of up to 90 to 220 minutes.…”

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Pediatric Cardiac Arrest

It is only fitting that the first neonate to be supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was named Esperanza, which when translated from Spanish means hope.1 Indeed, to the more than 50 000 patients who have survived because of ECMO, this revolutionary treatment has provided hope where there was none before. 2 In the past 5 decades, the use of artificial oxygenation and perfusion has revolutionized the care of critically ill patients, both in the operating room and in the intensive care unit. Use of artificial oxygenation and perfusion has evolved from bypass during cardiac surgery to advanced life support, to complex extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). Within the past 20 years, ECPR has been initiated when traditional resuscitation methods have failed and has proven its effectiveness with a survival to discharge rate of approximately 40%.3-13 However, the appropriate use of this therapy and delineated criteria for initiating and withdrawing this therapy have yet to be defined. Furthermore, implementation of this Pediatric CareExtracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) remains a promising treatment for pediatric patients in cardiac arrest unresponsive to traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation. With veno-arterial extracorporeal support, blood is drained from the right atrium, oxygenated through the extracorporeal circuit, and transfused back to the body, bypassing the heart and lungs. The use of artificial oxygenation and perfusion thus provides the body a period of hemodynamic stability, while allowing resolution of underlying disease processes. Survival rates for ECPR patients are higher than those for traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), although neurological outcomes require further investigation. The impact of duration of CPR and length of treatment with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation vary in published reports. Furthermore, current guidelines for the initiation and use of ECPR are limited and may lead to confusion about appropriate use of this support. Many ethical concerns arise with this advanced form of life support. More often than not, the dilemma is not whether to withhold ECPR, but rather when to withdraw it. Although clinicians must decide if ECPR is appropriate and when further intervention is futile, the ultimate burden of choice is left to the patient's caregivers. Offering support and guidance to the patient's family as well as the patient is essential. (Critical Care Nurse. 2015;35[1]:60-70) This article has been designated for CNE credit.

Pediatric neurocritical care is an emerging multidisciplinary field of medicine and a new frontier in pediatric critical care and pediatric neurology. Central to pediatric neurocritical care is the goal of improving outcomes in critically ill pediatric patients with neurological illness or injury and limiting secondary brain injury through optimal critical care delivery and the support of brain function. There is a pressing need for evidence based guidelines in pediatric neurocritical care, notably in pediatric traumatic brain injury and pediatric stroke. These diseases have distinct clinical and pathophysiological features that distinguish them from their adult counterparts and prevent the direct translation of the adult experience to pediatric patients. Increased attention is also being paid to the broader application of neuromonitoring and neuroprotective strategies in the pediatric intensive care unit, in both primary neurological and primary non-neurological disease states. Although much can be learned from the adult experience, there are important differences in the critically ill pediatric population and in the circumstances that surround the emergence of neurocritical care in pediatrics.

ObjectiveIn Taiwan, the incidence of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in children declined after the catch‐up primary vaccination programs and the full national immunization program (NIP) with PCV13. The objective of the study was to investigate the clinical outcomes of pediatric community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) before and after the NIP.MethodsThe study included patients aged 3 months to 17 years who were diagnosed with CAP and treated at the National Taiwan University Hospital between 2007 and 2019. Patients were assigned to three birth cohorts according to their birth years and vaccination eligibility: non‐NIP, catch‐up, and full NIP. We compared the rates of severe outcomes, including case fatality and pathogens.ResultsA total of 6557 patients who met the CAP criteria were enrolled during the study period. The case‐fatality rate decreased from 3.2% (94/2984) in the non‐NIP cohort to 0.3% (7/2176) in the catch‐up cohort and 0.8% (11/1397) in the full NIP cohort (p < 0.001). Furthermore, there was a significant decrease in invasive ventilation from the non‐NIP (17.9%) to both catch‐up (6.8%) and full NIP cohorts (9.1%). The rate of IPD declined from the non‐NIP cohort to the catch‐up cohort (1.8% vs. 0.6%, p < 0.001) and from the catch‐up to the full NIP cohort (0.6% vs. 0.07%, p = 0.014). In contrast, the rates of infections with other pathogens increased after NIP.ConclusionThe introduction of PCV13 showed significant reduction in case‐fatality and IPD rates. The increasing rates of other pathogens warrant further surveillance for their clinical significance.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation rescue for cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pediatric patients*

Abstract: ECPR successfully rescued some pediatric patients who failed rescue with conventional in-hospital CPR. Good neurologic outcomes were achieved in the majority of the survivors. Early cohort and post-ECPR renal failure were associated with mortality.
