The burden of pediatric neurocritical care in the United States.
This article attempts to quantify the burden of pediatric neurocritical care (PNCC) by developing national estimates of disease incidence, evaluating use of critical care interventions (CCI), and examining hospital outcomes. The Kids Inpatient Database (KID) was analyzed to evaluate cohorts with the following conditions: traumatic brain injury, neuro-infection, or inflammatory diseases; status epilepticus; stroke; hypoxic ischemic injury after cardiac arrest; or spinal cord injury.

Neurodevelopmental disorders in the PICU population.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), affecting 11% of children and adolescents, increases risk for injury and may predispose children to illness. However, the prevalence of ADHD and other developmental disorders in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) has not been previously studied. In this study, the investigators performed a single-center, prospective cohort study of children aged 6 to 12 years who were hospitalized in the PICU from May through August 2016.

Cricoid pressure during induction for tracheal intubation in critically ill children: a report from National Emergency Airway Registry for Children.
The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the association between cricoid pressure use and the occurrence of regurgitation during tracheal intubation for critically ill children in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The investigators found that cricoid pressure during induction and mask ventilation before tracheal intubation in the current ICU practice was not associated with a lower regurgitation rate after adjusting for previously reported confounders.

Clinical impact of external laryngeal manipulation during laryngoscopy on tracheal intubation success in critically ill children.
In this retrospective observational study, the objective was to evaluate the association between external laryngeal manipulation use and initial tracheal intubation attempt success in pediatric ICUs. The investigators found that external laryngeal manipulation during direct laryngoscopy was associated with lower initial tracheal intubation attempt success in critically ill children, even after adjusting for underlying differences in patient factors and provider levels. They asserted that the indiscriminate use of external laryngeal manipulation cannot be recommended.
