Airways That Scare Me - Shock Part 2
Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care
10/11/23 • 48 min
Airway Management remains the single highest risk time for our patients in pedsICU & pedsCICU. We've known about problems for long time, but finally gaining attention, new ways of thinking & new ways to use drugs & devices- there's a lot more gray then there used to be.
We'll discuss resuscitation and airway management in child with cardiac disease or hemodynamic instability, introduce the concept of the resus spiral staircase and talk about how you can optimize your team, respiratory support and hemodynamics. We cover delayed sequence intubation and that not every patient needs a tube and not every patient needs a tube right now. With better drugs and devices like dexmedetomidine and non-invasive, we've actually opened up a big zone between no support and invasive ventilation. We'll discuss ECMO standby when, how, who, and then finally de-resuscitation and extubation or separation from support.
This was a really big episode, so we've split it into two. The first half covered the resus spiral, team management, equipment & environment. In this second episode, we will go into respiratory and hemodynamic support, rescue strategies, including ECMO and finally extubation.

Airways That Scare Me - Respiratory Instability w Robi Khemani
Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care
07/11/24 • 55 min
This season is about airway management or airways that scare me and this episode, we discuss the respiratory unstable patient or the patient who's a "physiologically difficult airway" because they have bad lungs. We were incredibly lucky to have the amazing Robi Khemani from CHLA, a world expert on respiratory disorders in #pedsICU, join us and be able to share his thoughts.
It's not just about putting the tube in, it's about that whole high risk period of peri intubation. And with better drugs and devices we've opened a big space between low flow oxygen and invasive ventilation which makes decision making trickier.
Here we focus on that difficult decision making and the patients that really scare us. If you haven't heard it yet, our previous episode on team, environment, and equipment is very relevant here.

Complex Airway Surgery - Airways That Scare Me
Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care
02/05/24 • 58 min
Children with complex airway surgery are airways that truly scare us. Though a small number of patients in pedsICU, they can stay a long time and are at risk of death and morbidity from their underlying conditions, co-existing conditions, their treatment and ICU acquired problems. Managing these patients requires a high level of understanding, communication and teamwork between ENT/ORL, ICU, anesthesia, cardiothoracic surgery and numerous other teams.
We're going to cover the working up and investigation of patients transfers. The kind of conditions that are treated ranging from severe stenoses to severe malacias. What the surgeons actually do what they want us to know and how it can best work together between ICU and surgical team. We're also going to cover how we maintain these patients in the ICU, how we progress them, forwards, how we investigate problems and how we get the next debated and keep them safe.
Featuring special guests ORL surgeon and innovator David Zopf and Ryan Barbaro from University of Michigan and regular hosts @drpetaalexander @BostonChildrens @drgregkelly @SCHNkids and Mike Clifford @RCH

06/30/23 • 48 min
What are the pediatric #ECMO scenarios that even experts struggle with?
"Challenging Pediatric ECMO Scenarios" Special Collaboration w @PCICS @ECMOPedi and @PedsIntensiva
3 cases covering what our expert hosts and panelists all decided were three of the HARDEST scenarios to deal with:
1. VA ECMO for respiratory support; 2. L heart decompression on VA ECMO &; 3. "Inadequate" VV ECMO support

Culture & Practice Change for #pedsICU based rehabilitation
Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care
02/23/23 • 80 min
Culture and Practice Change are a vital element to implement ICU based rehabilitation in the pediatric ICU - because even when we know what to do it can be really hard to get our large and diverse teams on board and manage resource limitations, change fatigue and differing views.
Here, experts from around the world discuss how they implemented change in their units - using everything from quality science to gossip and merchandise!
Invited guests are Dr Brianna McKelvie from @CHEO, an intensivist with a masters degree in quality science, Dr Matteo DiNardo from Bambino Gesu, who has implemented QI projects in Italy and in low resource settings and Dr Mirjana Cvetkovic @mirjanaxxx @GreatOrmondStreet a cardiac intensivist and anesthetist who has driven change at GOS.

Airways That Scare Me in #pedsICU - Shock Part 1
Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care
06/07/23 • 48 min
Airway management remains the single highest risk time for our patients in pediatric ICU. We've known about these problems for a long time, but they're finally gaining the attention they deserve with registry projects and multicenter studies, new ways of thinking that move away from old dogmas and new ways to use our drugs and devices. One of the groups with the highest rates of peri intubation cardiac arrest is the child with cardiac disease or hemodynamic instability. Recent studies show extraordinary rates of peri intubation cardiac arrest as high as four to 15% in the 30 minute peri-intubation window.
We'll discuss resuscitation and airway management in child with cardiac disease or hemodynamic instability, introduce the concept of the resus spiral staircase and talk about how you can optimize your team, respiratory support and hemodynamics. We cover delayed sequence intubation and that not every patient needs a tube and not every patient needs a tube right now. With better drugs and devices like dexmedetomidine and non-invasive, we've actually opened up a big zone between no support and invasive ventilation. We'll discuss ECMO standby when, how, who, and then finally de-resuscitation and extubation or separation from support.
This is a really big episode, so we've split it into two. This first half covers the resus spiral, team management and monitoring. And in the second episode, we will go into respiratory and hemodynamic support, rescue strategies, including ECMO and finally extubation.

Early Mobilization in #pedsICU feat. Sapna Kudchadkar
Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care
05/10/21 • 65 min
Early Mobilization in the #pedsICU with groundbreaker Sapna Kudchadkar from Johns Hopkins
Early Mobilization is enormously important because while survival continues to increase, so do the numbers of children who leave PICU with a new functional limitation. Survival is not enough anymore - it's all about the quality of survival
Pediatrica Intensiva season 3 is guest edited by Professor Karen Choong from McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada and co hosted by Drs Greg Kelly (Sydney Children's Hospital Network), Peta Alexander (Boston Children's Hospital) and Mike Clifford (Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne)

Difficult Airways w Akira Nishisaki & Doug Atkinson
Pediatrica intensiva: Art & Science of Pediatric Critical Care
12/05/24 • 69 min
Airway management remains the single highest risk time for our patients in pediatric ICU. Different studies of pediatric airway management report first pass success as low as 50%. Rates of severe desaturation as high as 20%, and significant rates of cardiac arrest ranging from two to 15% in the 30 minute peri intubation window alone. A difficult airway might be anticipated or unanticipated and is not just difficult endotracheal intubation, but also difficulties with mask ventilation. supraglottic airway devices, difficult rescue techniques including front of neck access and physiologically difficult airways, which we covered in previous episodes.
The good news is that the attention our community has been paying to these issues has reduced the rates of endo tracheal intubation (ETI) associated adverse events significantly, but there's still a long way to go. We are joined by Akira Nishisaki from NEAR 4 Kids & CHOP which has been one of the main drivers of improvements in this space for almost 20 years and who has an incredible knowledge of the literature and Doug Atkinson a pediatric anesthesiologist and cardiac intensivist from Boston Children's Hospital.
As always, we focus on how our expert panel do things in practice at their institutions whilst being aware of the evidence.
