Family-centered care practice and bereavement needs of the family are closely related as a supportive, inclusive, and communicative approach in the ICU can significantly influence the grieving process, and the impact on family symptoms [1]. In ICU settings that typically care for adult patients, caring for a bereaved child in the ICU can be especially stressful. While family-centered care practice in the ICU is globally well supported [2], addressing the unique bereavement needs of children can lead to uncertainty among ICU clinicians as to how to best provide support. Although guidelines exist to support clinicians to improve quality of dying and death, minimize the adverse effects of the experience on families, and serve as a resource for hospital administrators and healthcare policymakers [3], uncertainty exists as to how to best provide child-centered bereavement support in an adult ICU. This shows the necessity of prioritizing research on the bereaved children, caregivers, and health care providers in the ICU, to build up evidence and develop targeted interventions [4].","PeriodicalId":13665,"journal":{"name":"Intensive Care Medicine","volume":"230 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":38.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143939975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We selected an international panel of 20 adult, paediatric and neonatal intensive care experts with clinical and research expertise in quantitative lung ultrasound, plus two non-voting methodologists. Fourteen clinical questions were proposed by the chairs to the panel, who voted for their priority (1-9 Likert-type scale) and proposed modifications/supplementing (two-round vote). All the questions achieved the predefined threshold (mean score > 5) and 14 groups of 3 mixed adult/paediatric experts were identified to develop the statements for each clinical question; predefined groups of experts in the fields of adult and paediatric/neonatal intensive care voted statements specific for these subgroups. An iterative approach was used to obtain the final consensus statements (two-round vote, 1-9 Likert-type scale); statements were classified as with agreement (range 7-9), uncertainty (4-6), disagreement (1-3) when the median score and ≥ 75% of votes laid within a specific range.RESULTSA total of 46 statements were produced (4 adults-only, 4 paediatric/neonatal-only, 38 interdisciplinary); all obtained agreement. This result was also achieved by acknowledging in the statements the current limitations of quantitative lung ultrasound.CONCLUSIONThis consensus guides the use of quantitative lung ultrasound in adult, paediatric and neonatal intensive care and helps identify the fields where further research will be needed in the future.","PeriodicalId":13665,"journal":{"name":"Intensive Care Medicine","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":38.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143932915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
