Safety of tracheal intubation in the presence of cardiac disease in paediatric ICUs.
In this retrospective analysis the investigators sought to evaluate the occurrence of adverse tracheal-intubation-associated events in children with cardiac disease compared to children with non-cardiac disease. The authors found that the overall incidence of adverse tracheal-intubation-associated events in cardiac patients was not different from that in non-cardiac patients. However, the presence of a cardiac diagnosis was associated with a higher occurrence of both tracheal-intubation-associated cardiac arrest and oxygen desaturation.

Effect of location on tracheal intubation safety in cardiac disease-are cardiac ICUs safer?
In this retrospective cohort study, the investigators evaluate differences in tracheal intubation-associated events and process variances (i.e., multiple intubation attempts and oxygen desaturation) between pediatric cardiac ICUs and noncardiac PICUs in children with underlying cardiac disease. The authors found that in children with underlying cardiac disease, rates of adverse tracheal intubation-associated events were not lower in cardiac ICUs as compared to noncardiac ICUs, even after adjusting for differences in patient characteristics and care models.

Sepsis in pediatric cardiac intensive care.
The authors reviewed risk factors for developing sepsis; the role of biomarkers; and the pathophysiology and management of severe sepsis and septic shock. They concluded that while scientific advances in the diagnosis and clinical staging of sepsis offer tremendous promise for the future, it is also evident that sepsis mortality has not improved enough, even with progress in our understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of sepsis.
