Ventilación Mecánica en Reanimación Cardiopulmonar en Pediatría

¿Podemos ocupar el ventilador en paro?

No es algo nuevo. En 2017 se realiza una encuensta en profesionales de la salud (prehospitalario). La mayoría, médicos. Podras ver el % de dispositivo utilizado por los encuestados.
Existe amplia variabilidad, aún, en cuanto a frecuencia respiratoria, objetivo de PaO2 y PaCO2.

Si mi paciente #Pediátrico cae en paro ¿podría ocupar el VM durante la reanimación?
Las guías, aún dejan al clínico el tiempo adecuado para considerar la intubación. Primordial mantener la Oxigenación y ventilar a razón de 20-30 veces por minuto.

Hoy se cumplen seis años del fallecimiento de mi hijo menor, Mateo.
Mateo murió a las doce horas de haber ingresado a un CTI pediátrico #ucip #PedsICU.

Hace seis años se me desdibujaba rápidamente la imagen prejuiciosa de que los médicos que atendían en este tipo de unidades, creían ser dioses que todo lo saben y todo lo pueden (era la única explicación lógica que encontraba a que alguien pudiera elegir esa especialidad médica).
Hace seis años me encontré con un equipo de personas con calidad y calidez humana, que hicieron lo imposible por Mateo, con mucho respeto, compasión, pero sobre todo, con mucho amor.

1. Set goals of mean or diastolic blood pressures.
2. Individualize the arterial pressure targets goals.
3. Vasopressors induce an endogenous fluid recruitment and may limit positive fluid balance.
4. Reassess fluid status and cardiac output after initiation of vasopressors

I was charge nurse in our PICU yesterday and I’m still recovering.
I’m trying to remember that all the hustle and good we can do counts, for every patient we can care for.
But I’m still trying to shake the overwhelming distress connected to the role of #pedsICU charge rn. /1

Tight bed space, even tighter nurse and respiratory therapist staffing.
If a patient needs ICU care and we can’t take them, it’s distressing to deny admission.
If I can do the pressured coordination to transfer one out and hustle one in, I know my staff are exhausted. /2

But we have to do it and I have to push it, no matter how fried I know any individual might be. I want to support them, give them breathing room, but I…have so little to offer.
I bring chips in case people need comfort food to quickly refuel. I brew coffee, make it strong.

It all started with a conversation among the PC4 exec committee many moons ago: What do we want to change about #PedsCICU practice? We proposed cardiac arrest because we thought that preventing CA fundamentally defines excellent CICU care.

There was skepticism. Many smart people thought this wasn't possible. Many thought we should try something easier for our first major quality improvement project and get a sure win. Ultimately, we got buy-in to move forward with this CAP project.

Q: @MarcoDaverioMD, why did you & the team decide to do this survey?
A: There was a gap of knowledge on this topic, in fact information about the assessment and management of pain and sedation across European #PedsICU are currently unknown.

Q: How do you design a study when you expect serious variability across the answers?🧐
A: Planning is crucial! We tested, validated & modified the questions. Using closed questions we reduced the variability and facilitated the data analysis💪🏻

"Vaccines only" #COVID19 strategy w removal of other protections makes perfect if you hold 6 beliefs
Each belief WAS reasonable in 2020, yet proved wrong w time. Now, to maintain the idea that things are OK, each of these 6 beliefs must be defended with ever more vigor 🧵
Each belief WAS reasonable in 2020, yet proved wrong w time. Now, to maintain the idea that things are OK, each of these 6 beliefs must be defended with ever more vigor 🧵
I am completely serious that each belief was reasonable to hold at the start of the pandemic, and I myself held most of them. As we have learned more, I have changed my view, however many people have not and each of these beliefs has become a frontline in its own right - why?
I believe that cognitive dissonance explains a lot
...It is hard for us to admit we were wrong because this causes dissonance in our minds "I am a good person vs. I caused harm / I was wrong"
It is cognitively easier to change facts than to resolve the cognitive dissonance

2/ referenced articles with the help of @PICJournalWatch & an educational thread by myself that will aid in understanding the basics referred to in the teaching sessions.
3/ The P/F ratio is a widely used clinical indicator of hypoxaemia, though its diagnostic utility is controversial. What do you understand by P/F ratio and A-a gradient in the context of a hypoxic patient with ARDS?
Had an opportunity to visit few #MTIs in #KPK with the purpose to explore #PedsICU infrastructure & need assessment and collaboration for capacity building. 1/12
Overall basic infrastructure is there and the need is unmet. And there is a desire on ground to build this field of #Pediatrics which is encouraging. The management is excellent and there is an #EHR in place. All these make an excellent starting point. 2/12
