Difficult bag-mask ventilation in critically ill children is independently associated with adverse events.
This study looked at the epidemiology, risk factors, and clinical implications of difficult bag-mask ventilation among critically ill children. The prevalence and risk factors are described as well as its association with adverse tracheal intubation-associated events and oxygen desaturation in PICU patients. This retrospective review used observational data collected from a multicenter tracheal intubation database (National Emergency Airway Registry for Children) from January 2013 to December 2018 from 46 international PICUs. Difficult bag-mask ventilation was reported in 9.5% of 15,810 patients undergoing tracheal intubation with bag-mask ventilation. Difficult bag-mask ventilation was more commonly reported with increasing age, those with a primary respiratory diagnosis/indication for tracheal intubation, presence of difficulty airway features, more experienced provider level, and tracheal intubations without use of neuromuscular blockade. Specific intubation-associated or oxygen desaturation events occurred in 40.2% of patients with reported difficult bag-mask ventilation versus 19.8% in patients without difficult bag-mask ventilation.

Post-intensive-care syndrome for the pediatric neurologist.
The investigators are working to create awareness and help mitigate post-intensive-care syndrome in pediatric patients who had experienced primary neurological injury and also help their parents and siblings. In this paper they review current knowledge regarding post-intensive-care syndrome in pediatrics and its risk factors. They describe their experience establishing Pediatric Neurocritical Care Recovery Programs at two large academic centers. They also provide a battery of validated tests to identify and manage the different aspects of post-intensive-care syndrome in pediatrics.
