Hemodynamic effects of chest compression interruptions during pediatric in-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation

Hemodynamic Patterns Before Inhospital Cardiac Arrest in Critically Ill Children: An Exploratory Study

“…However, there are no criteria for detecting IHCA based on patients’ objective monitored data. Several studies have suggested methods for recognizing deterioration in monitored patients based on combinations of ECG, ABP waveform, pulse oximetry, and end-tidal CO 2 , but none have been prospectively validated ( 28 , 33 , 34 ). We believe, based on our findings, that monitoring changes in an expanded range of derived physiologic variables, including proxies for CO, SV, and SVR, may permit more proactive recognition of deterioration and possibly earlier CPR initiation.…”

Lebensrettende Maßnahmen bei Kindern (Paediatric Life Support, PLS)

“…Das PLS-COSTR #1605 von 2020 zur Thoraxkompressionstiefe ergab keine ausreichende Evidenz, um bestehende Empfehlungen zu ändern. Zusätzlich zu einer Übersichtsarbeit [ 579 ] beziehen wir uns auf 6 RCT [ 580 – 585 ] und 15 Beobachtungsstudien (Anhang RR 21.1; [ 586 – 600 ]).…”

Landing a Successful R or K Grant: a Young Investigator’s Journey

“…Many young trainees often have mentors outside their respective field which provides a different and important perspective. In my case, Dr. Todd Kilbaugh is considered an international expert in the field of large animal models of pediatric TBI and cardiac arrest [4,5]. My K training has focused on in vitro models of poisoning and mitochondrial medicine which I have implemented his expertise to my future work.…”
