The impact of experiential learning opportunities in the clinical context on PCCM fellow CVC placement skill acquisition remains unknown. We sought to measure femoral CVC placement skill acquisition during fellowship and compare fellow to attending skill. We performed a prospective observational cohort study of PCCM fellows at the University of Colorado from 2019 to 2021. Femoral CVC placement skill was measured by attending evaluation of level of the supervision (LOS) required for the fellow, and hand motion analysis (HMA) on simulation task trainer. Competence in femoral CVC placement was defined as LOS ≥ 4 (can perform this skill independently) on a 5-point Likert scale. We compared fellow skill in femoral CVC placement to years of training and number of femoral CVCs placed. We also compared third-year fellow and attending HMA measurements. We recruited 13 fellows and 6 attendings. Fellows placed a median of 8 (interquartile range 7, 11) femoral CVCs during the study period. All fellows who reached third-year of fellowship during the study period achieved competence. Longitudinal analysis demonstrated improvement in CVC placement skill by both LOS and HMA as years of fellowship and number of femoral CVCs placed increased. Few third-year fellows achieved attending level skill in femoral CVC placement as measured by HMA. PCCM fellows acquired skill in CVC placement during fellowship and achieved competence in the procedure, but most did not reach attending level of skill.","PeriodicalId":44426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135059279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This practice is driven by the challenges of dealing with children of different ages as they have different behavioral, mental, and emotional statuses. We aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing a target-driven sedation protocol in the PICU on ventilator-free days (VFDs), PICU stays, and hospitalization. A 2-year retrospective cohort study was performed in our PICU between October 1, 2018, and October 1, 2020. All intubated children up to 12 years of age were included. Descriptive analyses and a pre- and postintervention comparison of VFDs and length of stay were used to assess the protocol's effectiveness. A total of 134 patients were studied. There was a significant increase in VFDs in cases with respiratory illness requiring mechanical ventilation after implementing this protocol (19.9 vs. 22.3, respectively, with a p-value of 0.031). Also, there was a trend of reduction in the length of PICU stay (median of 9 vs. 8 days, p = 0.816), post-PICU length of stay (median of 4 vs. 3 days, p = 0.055), and hospitalization duration (median of 16 vs. 13 days, p = 0.062) though not statistically significant. Implementing a target-driven sedation protocol in the PICU significantly affects VFDs in mechanically ventilated respiratory cases. Though inconclusive in our study, implementing such a protocol will influence patients' care and reduce unnecessary sedation uses that will reduce sedation hazards.","PeriodicalId":44426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Intensive Care","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135059281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, little has been published on perioperative management of pediatric patients with moyamoya, particularly in the early postoperative period during intensive care unit admission. Our pediatric neurocritical care team sought to create a multidisciplinary periprocedural evidence- and consensus-based care pathway for high-risk pediatric patients with moyamoya arteriopathy undergoing anesthesia for any reason to decrease the incidence of periprocedural stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). We reviewed the literature to identify risk factors associated with perioperative stroke or TIA among patients with moyamoya and to gather data supporting specific perioperative management strategies. A multidisciplinary team from pediatric anesthesia, neurocritical care, nursing, child life, neurosurgery, interventional neuroradiology, neurology, and hematology created a care pathway for children with moyamoya undergoing anesthesia, classifying them as either high or standard risk, and applying an individualized perioperative management plan to high-risk patients.
