Apneic oxygenation as a quality improvement intervention in an academic PICU.
The objective of this prospective pre/post observational study was to evaluate if the use of apneic oxygenation during tracheal intubation in children is feasible and would decrease the occurrence of oxygen desaturation. The investigators concluded that implementation of apneic oxygenation in PICU was feasible, and was associated with significant reduction in moderate and severe oxygen desaturation. They suggest that use of apneic oxygenation should be considered when intubating critically ill children.

Quality and safety of pediatric inpatient care in community hospitals: a scoping review.
This study’s aim was to conduct a scoping review and synthesize literature on the quality and safety of pediatric inpatient care in nonpediatric hospitals in the United States. A systematic literature review was performed in October 2016 to identify pediatric studies that reported on safety, effectiveness, efficiency, timeliness, patient-centeredness, or equity set. A total of 44 articles were included using inclusion criteria. There was a moderate or high risk of bias for 72% of the studies. This study shows there is very limited research currently and would benefit from more multicenter collaborations.

Efficacy and safety of pediatric critical care physician telemedicine involvement in rapid response team and code response in a satellite facility.
This study compared response rates at satellite inpatient facilities of larger children’s hospitals using telemedicine to response rates at main campus. Through the use of telemedicine, there was no difference in critical care response and rate of transfer to intensive-care units.

Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in patient safety events for hospitalized children.
Previous studies have revealed racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in quality of care and patient safety. However, these disparities have not been examined in a pediatric inpatient environment by using a measure of clinically confirmed adverse events (AEs). In this study, the investigators do so using the Global Assessment of Pediatric Patient Safety (GAPPS) Trigger Tool. The investigators concluded that the GAPPS analysis revealed racial and/or ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in rates of AEs experienced by hospitalized children across a broad range of geographic and hospital settings.

Understanding safety in prehospital emergency medical services for children.
This paper adds to the qualitative understanding of the nature of and contributors to safety events in the prehospital emergency care of children. The findings of this study suggest that factors at the systems, team, child/family, and individual provider level system contribute to errors in prehospital emergency care. These factors may be modifiable through interventions and systems improvements.
