ObjectivesThe COVID-19 pandemic resulted in adaptations to pediatric resuscitation systems of care. The objective of this study was to determine the temporal association between the pandemic and pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) process of care metrics, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) quality, and patient outcomes.DesignMulticenter retrospective analysis of a dataset comprising observations of IHCA outcomes pre pandemic (March 1, 2019 to February 29, 2020) versus pandemic (March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021).SettingData source was the ICU-RESUScitation Project ("ICU-RESUS;" NCT028374497), a prospective, multicenter, cluster randomized interventional trial.PatientsChildren (≤ 18 yr) who received cardiopulmonary resuscitation while admitted to the ICU and were enrolled in ICU-RESUS.InterventionsNone.Measurements and main resultsAmong 429 IHCAs meeting inclusion criteria, occurrence during the pandemic period was associated with higher frequency of hypotension as the immediate cause of arrest. Cardiac arrest physiology, cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality metrics, and postarrest physiologic and quality of care metrics were similar between the two periods. Survival with favorable neurologic outcome (Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category score 1-3 or unchanged from baseline) occurred in 102 of 195 subjects (52%) during the pandemic compared with 140 of 234 (60%) pre pandemic ( p = 0.12). Among survivors, occurrence of IHCA during the pandemic period was associated with a greater increase in Functional Status Scale (FSS) (i.e., worsening) from baseline (1 [0-3] vs 0 [0-2]; p = 0.01). After adjustment for confounders, IHCA survival during the pandemic period was associated with a greater increase in FSS from baseline (+1.19 [95% CI, 0.35-2.04] FSS points; p = 0.006) and higher odds of a new FSS-defined morbidity (adjusted odds ratio, 1.88 [95% CI, 1.03-3.46]; p = 0.04).ConclusionsUsing the ICU-RESUS dataset, we found that relative to the year prior, pediatric IHCA during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with greater worsening of functional status and higher odds of new functional morbidity among survivors.

IntroductionPatients who suffer in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) are less likely to survive if the arrest occurs during nighttime versus daytime. Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) as a measure of chest compression quality was associated with survival from pediatric IHCA. We hypothesized that DBP during CPR for IHCA is lower during nighttime versus daytime.MethodsThis is a secondary analysis of data collected from the Pediatric Intensive Care Quality of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Study. Pediatric or Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit patients who received chest compressions for ≥1 min and who had invasive arterial BP monitoring were enrolled. Nighttime was defined as 11:00PM to 6:59AM and daytime as 7:00AM until 10:59PM. Primary outcome was attainment of DBP ≥ 25 mmHg in infants

AimDiastolic blood pressure (DBP) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is associated with survival following pediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest. The relationship between intra-arrest haemodynamics and neurological status among survivors of pediatric cardiac arrest is unknown.MethodsThis study represents analysis of data from the prospective multicenter Pediatric Intensive Care Quality of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (PICqCPR) Study. Primary predictor variables were median DBP and median systolic blood pressure (SBP) over the first 10min of CPR. The primary outcome measure was "new substantive morbidity" determined by Functional Status Scale (FSS) and defined as an increase in the FSS of at least 3 points or increase of 2 in a single FSS domain. Univariable analyses were completed to investigate the relationship between new substantive morbidity and BPs during CPR.Results244 index CPR events occurred during the study period, 77 (32%) CPR events met all inclusion criteria as well as having both DBP and FSS data available. Among 77 survivors, 32 (42%) had new substantive morbidity as measured by the FSS score. No significant differences were identified in DBP (median 30.5mmHg vs. 30.9mmHg, p=0.5) or SBP (median 76.3mmHg vs. 63.0mmHg, p=0.2) between patients with and without new substantive morbidity. Children who developed new substantive morbidity were more likely to have lower pre-arrest FSS than those that did not (median [IQR]: 7.5 [6.0-9.0] versus 9.0 [7.0-13.0], p=0.01).ConclusionNew substantive morbidity determined by FSS after a pediatric IHCA was associated with baseline functional status, but not DBP during CPR.

OBJECTIVE:There is no consensus on the optimal timing and specific brain MRI sequences in the evaluation and management of severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), and information on current practices is lacking. The authors performed a survey of MRI practices among sites participating in a multicenter study of severe pediatric TBI to provide information for designing future clinical trials using MRI to assess brain injury after severe pediatric TBI. METHODS:Information on current imaging practices and resources was collected from 27 institutions participating in the Approaches and Decisions after Pediatric TBI Trial. Multiple-choice questions addressed the percentage of patients with TBI who have MRI studies, timing of MRI, MRI sequences used to investigate TBI, as well as the magnetic field strength of MR scanners used at the participating institutions and use of standardized MRI protocols for imaging after severe pediatric TBI. RESULTS:Overall, the reported use of MRI in pediatric patients with severe TBI at participating sites was high, with 40% of sites indicating that they obtain MRI studies in > 95% of this patient population. Differences were observed in the frequency of MRI use between US and international sites, with the US sites obtaining MRI in a higher proportion of their pediatric patients with severe TBI (94% of US vs 44% of international sites reported MRI in at least 70% of patients with severe TBI). The reported timing and composition of MRI studies was highly variable across sites. Sixty percent of sites reported typically obtaining an MRI study within the first 7 days postinjury, with the remainder of responses distributed throughout the first 30-day postinjury period. Responses indicated that MRI sequences sensitive for diffuse axonal injury and ischemia are frequently obtained in patients with TBI, whereas perfusion imaging and spectroscopy techniques are less common. CONCLUSIONS:Results from this survey suggest that despite the lack of consensus or guidelines, MRI is commonly obtained during the acute clinical setting after severe pediatric TBI. The variation in MRI practices highlights the need for additional studies to determine the utility, optimal timing, and composition of clinical MRI studies after TBI. The information in this survey describes current clinical MRI practices in children with severe TBI and identifies important challenges and objectives that should be considered when designing future studies.

ObjectivesAdherence to pediatric traumatic brain injury guidelines has been associated with improved survival and better functional outcome. However, the relationship between guideline adherence and hospitalization costs has not been examined. To evaluate the relationship between adherence to pediatric severe traumatic brain injury guidelines, measured by acute care clinical indicators, and the total costs of hospitalization associated with severe traumatic brain injury.DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingFive regional pediatric trauma centers affiliated with academic medical centers.PatientsDemographic, injury, treatment, and charge data were included for pediatric patients (17 yr) with severe traumatic brain injury.InterventionsPercent adherence to clinical indicators was determined for each patient. Cost-to-charge ratios were used to estimate ICU and total hospital costs for each patient. Generalized linear models evaluated the association between healthcare costs and adherence rate.Measurements and main resultsCost data for 235 patients were examined. Estimated mean adjusted hospital costs were $103,485 (95% CI, 98,553-108,416); adjusted ICU costs were $82,071 (95% CI, 78,559-85,582). No association was found between adherence to guidelines and total hospital or ICU costs, after adjusting for patient and injury characteristics. Adjusted regression model results provided cost ratio equal to 1.01 for hospital and ICU costs (95% CI, 0.99-1.03 and 0.99-1.02, respectively).ConclusionsAdherence to severe pediatric traumatic brain injury guidelines at these five leading pediatric trauma centers was not associated with increased hospitalization and ICU costs. Therefore, cost should not be a factor as institutions and providers strive to provide evidence-based guideline driven care of children with severe traumatic brain injury.

To determine associations between anticoagulation practices and bleeding and thrombosis during pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), we performed a secondary analysis of prospectively collected data which included 481 children (<19 years), between January 2012 and September 2014. The primary outcome was bleeding or thrombotic events. Bleeding events included a blood product transfusion >80 ml/kg on any day, pulmonary hemorrhage, or intracranial bleeding, Thrombotic events included pulmonary emboli, intracranial clot, limb ischemia, cardiac clot, and arterial cannula or entire circuit change. Bleeding occurred in 42% of patients. Five percent of subjects thrombosed, of which 89% also bled. Daily bleeding odds were independently associated with day prior activated clotting time (ACT) (OR 1.03, 95% CI= 1.00, 1.05, p =0.047) and fibrinogen levels (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84, 0.96, p <0.001). Thrombosis odds decreased with increased day prior heparin dose (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81, 0.97, p =0.006). Lower ACT values and increased fibrinogen levels may be considered to decrease the odds of bleeding. Use of this single measure, however, may not be sufficient alone to guide optimal anticoagulation practice during ECMO. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OBJECTIVES: Arterial diastolic blood pressure (DBP) greater than 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than 30 mm Hg in children greater than 1 year old during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was associated with survival to hospital discharge in one prospective study. We sought to validate these potential hemodynamic targets in a larger multicenter cohort. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Eighteen PICUs in the ICU-RESUScitation prospective trial from October 2016 to March 2020. PATIENTS: Children less than or equal to 18 years old with CPR greater than 30 seconds and invasive blood pressure (BP) monitoring during CPR. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Invasive BP waveform data and Utstein-style CPR data were collected, including prearrest patient characteristics, intra-arrest interventions, and outcomes. Primary outcome was survival to hospital discharge, and secondary outcomes were return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome. Multivariable Poisson regression models with robust error estimates evaluated the association of DBP greater than 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than 30 mm Hg in older children with these outcomes. Among 1,129 children with inhospital cardiac arrests, 413 had evaluable DBP data. Overall, 85.5% of the patients attained thresholds of mean DBP greater than or equal to 25 mm Hg in infants and greater than or equal to 30 mm Hg in older children. Initial return of circulation occurred in 91.5% and 25% by placement on extracorporeal membrane oxygenator. Survival to hospital discharge occurred in 58.6%, and survival with favorable neurologic outcome in 55.4% (i.e. 94.6% of survivors had favorable neurologic outcomes). Mean DBP greater than 25 mm Hg for infants and greater than 30 mm Hg for older children was significantly associated with survival to discharge (adjusted relative risk [aRR], 1.32; 1.01–1.74; p = 0.03) and ROSC (aRR, 1.49; 1.12–1.97; p = 0.002) but did not reach significance for survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurologic outcome (aRR, 1.30; 0.98–1.72; p = 0.051). CONCLUSIONS: These validation data demonstrate that achieving mean DBP during CPR greater than 25 mm Hg for infants and greater than 30 mm Hg for older children is associated with higher rates of survival to hospital discharge, providing potential targets for DBP during CPR.

• Quality improvement (QI) programs improve care and outcomes for injured patients. • Status of QI for traumatic brain injury (TBI) is not well known for Latin America. • We report on QI programs for pediatric TBI care at hospitals in Argentina. • QI for pediatric TBI was moderately developed at most hospitals. • Opportunities for improvements were identified. Trauma quality improvement (QI) programs improve care and outcomes for injured patients. Information about QI programs for pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is sparse in Latin America. We gathered data on the status of QI programs and activities that encompass pediatric TBI at 15 Argentine hospitals. Data were gathered during 2019 and included hospital characteristics, QI practices, presence of a queryable registry, and use of protocols for TBI care. Level of QI activities was compared between hospital types using Fisher's exact test. Most hospitals had guidelines for pediatric TBI care, including management and/or prevention of intracranial pressure (100%) and central-line-associated infections (87%). Morbidity and mortality meetings or other types of case discussions in which quality of pediatric TBI care was discussed were held by all hospitals, with most (53%) having weekly-monthly meetings, but 27% having rare or annual meetings. Sixty percent of hospitals had adequate data for case reviews (fewer than 25% of cases with essential information missing). Fifty-three percent documented discussions that occurred at these meetings and 53% utilized computerized trauma registries. Larger hospitals (> 200 beds) more frequently had adequate data (88%) for case reviews than smaller hospitals (29%, P = 0.046). Hospital size did not affect other QI activities. Most hospitals had guidelines for pediatric TBI care. Adequacy of care was discussed at reasonably frequent case conferences. Opportunities for improvement include increasing documentation of case reviews and improving adequacy of data for case reviews, especially at smaller hospitals. Greater use of computerized trauma registries could provide such data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: Children surviving cardiac arrest are at high risk of neurological morbidity and mortality; however, there is a lack of validated prognostic biomarkers. We aimed to evaluate brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) as predictors of death and disability. Secondly, we evaluated whether MRI/S by randomized group.Methods: This single center study analyzed clinically indicated brain MRI/S data from children enrolled in a randomized controlled trial of 24 vs. 72 h of hypothermia following cardiac arrest. Two pediatric radiologists scored conventional MRIs. Lactate and N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA) concentrations (mmol/kg) were determined from spectra acquired from the basal ganglia, thalamus, parietal white matter and parietooccipital gray matter. Mortality and neurological outcomes (favorable = Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category [PCPC] 1, 2, 3 or increase < 2) were assessed at hospital discharge. Non-parametric tests were used to test for associations between MRI/S biomarkers and outcome and randomized group.Results: 23 children with (median [interquartile range]) age of 1.5 (0.3-4.0) years. Ten (44%) had favorable outcome. There were more T2 brain lesions in the lentiform nuclei in children with unfavorable 12 (92%) vs. favorable 3 (33%) outcome, p = 0.007. Increased lactate and decreased NAA concentrations in the parietooccipital gray matter and decreased NAA in the parietal white matter were associated with unfavorable outcome (p's < 0.05). There were no differences for any biomarker by randomized group.Conclusion: Regional cerebral and metabolic MRI/S biomarkers are predictive of neurological outcomes at hospital discharge in pediatric cardiac arrest and should undergo validation testing in a large sample.

Aim: Children surviving cardiac arrest (CA) lack proven neuroprotective therapies. The role of biomarkers in assessing response to interventions is unknown. We hypothesized that 72 versus 24 h of hypothermia (HT) would produce more favorable biomarker profiles after pediatric CA.Methods: This single center pilot randomized trial tested HT (33 ± 1 °C) for 24 vs. 72 h in 34 children with CA. Children comatose after return of circulation aged 1 week to 17 years and treated with HT by their physician were eligible. Serum was collected twice daily on days 1-4 and once on day 7. Mortality was assessed at 6 months.Results: Patient characteristics, baseline biomarker concentrations, and adverse events were similar between groups. Eight (47%) and 4 (24%) children died in the 24 h and 72 h groups, p = .3. Serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) concentration was increased in the 24 vs. 72 h group at 84 h-96 h (median [interquartile range] 47.7 [3.9, 79.9] vs. 1.4 [0.0, 11.1] ng/ml, p = .02) and on day 7 (18.2 [3.2, 74.0] vs. 2.6 [0.0, 12.8] ng/ml, p = .047). Serum S100b was increased in the 24 h vs. 72 h group at 12 h-24 h, 36 h-84 h, and on day 7, all p < 0.05. HT duration was associated with S100b (but not NSE or MBP) concentration on day 7 in multivariate analyses.Conclusion: Serum biomarkers show promise as theragnostic tools in pediatric CA. Our biomarker and safety data also suggest that 72 h duration after pediatric CA warrants additional exploration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Newborns with congenital heart disease have associated brain damage that affects short-and long-term neurodevelopment. Several neuronal biomarkers exist that could predict brain damage. We investigated the pattern of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and s100B levels after cardiopulmonary bypass surgery in neonates with congenital heart disease.Methods: We completed a prospective observational study of neonates with congenital heart disease who were undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass surgery. NSE and s100B levels were measured from serum samples obtained preoperatively, immediately postoperatively, and once daily on postoperative days one to seven. Cranial ultrasounds were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively and findings were scored using an internally developed scoring system.Results: Eighteen neonates were included. Immediate postoperative and peak levels of both NSE (58.0 [21.6] and 68.1 [55.7] μg/L) and s100B (0.14 [0.3] and 0.14 [0.3] μg/L) were significantly increased when compared with preoperative levels (34.0 [21.6] μg/L; P < 0.01 and 0.08 [0.1] μg/L; P < 0.02). By postoperative day seven, NSE and s100B levels were lower than preoperative levels: NSE (18 [5.7]; P = 0.09) and s100B (0.03 [0.05]; P < 0.01). Postoperative s100B levels were negatively correlated with age at surgery and positively correlated with circulatory arrest time. Although there was no significant correlation between either NSE or s100B levels and intensive care unit length of stay, hospital length of stay, and pediatric cerebral performance category score, there was a negative correlation between postoperative levels of NSE and ventriculomegaly.Conclusions: NSE and s100B levels increase after bypass surgery and return below preoperative baseline levels by postoperative day seven. The levels of s100B were positively correlated with circulatory arrest time and negatively correlated with age at time of surgery. This finding may be supportive of pre-existing prenatal brain injury that could be enhanced by longer surgical times but also of some brain protection effect associated with longer wait until surgery.

Introduction: Brain injury is the leading cause of morbidity and death following pediatric cardiac arrest. Serum biomarkers of brain injury may assist in outcome prognostication. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the properties of serum ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal esterase-L1 (UCH-L1) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) to classify outcome in pediatric cardiac arrest.Methods: Single center prospective study. Serum biomarkers were measured at 2 time points during the initial 72 h in children after cardiac arrest (n=19) and once in healthy children (controls, n=43). We recorded demographics and details of the cardiac arrest and resuscitation. We determined the associations between serum biomarker concentrations and Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) at 6 months (favorable (PCPC 1-3) or unfavorable (PCPC 4-6)).Results: The initial assessment (time point 1) occurred at a median (IQR) of 10.5 (5.5-17.0)h and the second assessment (time point 2) at 59.0 (54.5-65.0)h post-cardiac arrest. Serum UCH-L1 was higher among children following cardiac arrest than among controls at both time points (p<0.05). Serum GFAP in subjects with unfavorable outcome was higher at time point 2 than in controls (p<0.05). Serum UCH-L1 at time point 1 (AUC 0.782) and both UCH-L1 and GFAP at time point 2 had good classification accuracy for outcome (AUC 0.822 and 0.796), p<0.05 for all.Conclusion: Preliminary data suggest that serum UCH-L1 and GFAP may be of use to prognosticate outcome after pediatric cardiac arrest at clinically-relevant time points and should be validated prospectively.
