..To study energy expenditure (EE) in critically ill infants and children and its correlation with clinical characteristics, treatment, nutrition, caloric intake, and predicted energy expenditure calculated through theoretical formulas...

..Patients with prolonged CRRT required more frequent hemodiafiltration and higher doses of heparin. Mortality was slightly higher in children with longer CRRT, though this difference did not reach statistical significance...

..The purpose of the study was to analyze the characteristics of enteral nutrition and its tolerance in the critically ill child with shock and to compare this with non-shocked patients...

..To analyze the changes in respiratory parameters in a Servoi ventilator with heliox...

..The normal values in children have not been defined. The purpose of the present paper was therefore to evaluate cardiac output and parameters of blood volume using femoral arterial thermodilution in critically ill children...

..To analyse the present day characteristics and outcome of cardio-respiratory arrest in children in Spain...

..To study the postoperative factors associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation after cardiac surgery in children...

..The aim of this article is to describe acute renal failure secondary to a high dose of indomethacin in a child and to review an error in a supervised drug prescription and administration system...

..The objective of this review has been to analyse and compare the causes, incidence, severity and treatment of gastrointestinal complications in critically ill children and adults...

..Capnography and transcutaneous PCO2 are useful for the early detection of hypercapnia and the dead space during the transfer of pediatric patients...

..To report four cases of carboxyhemoglobinemia associated with high doses of sodium nitroprusside after cardiac transplant in children...

..To analyze the characteristics and outcome of out-of-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest in children in Spain...

..The ultrafiltrate flow increases in relation to the blood flow, the frequency of the pump, and the diastolic time...

..ITBI and GEDVI are more sensitive to changes in blood volume than CVP and PCP. Rapid blood volume expansion and adrenaline administration do not affect extravascular lung water...

..To evaluate the correlation between two methods for the determination of cardiac output: the femoral arterial thermodilution technique (FATD) and the arterial pulse contour analysis (PCCO) using the PiCCO catheter...

..We conclude that CRRT in a pediatric animal model induces initial hypovolemia, and a systemic cardiovascular response with vasoconstriction and increase in ventricular contractility...

..The objective of this study has been to analyze the values of cardiac function and blood volume in an infant animal model using the arterial thermodilution technique...

..To study the efficacy and tolerance of transpyloric enteral nutrition (TEN) in the critically ill child with acute renal failure (ARF)...

..We do not know if these differences could have influenced the characteristics and evolution of cardiopulmonary arrest in children...

..To analyze the characteristics and outcome of cardiorespiratory arrest secondary to trauma in children...

..To analyze the evolution of hemodynamic, respiratory, and tissue perfusion parameters in an infant animal model of asphyxial cardiac arrest (CA)...

..There is no reference method for the evaluation of the level of sedation in children after cardiac surgery. The utility of the bispectral index and middle latency auditory evoked potentials has not been evaluated...

....

..To study the clinical course in children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and to analyse factors associated with mortality...

..To analyze the correlations between hemodynamic, oxygenation and tissue perfusion values in an infant animal model of asphyctic cardiac arrest (ACA)...

..Finally, it was concluded that neither nutritional status nor clinical severity is related to EE. Therefore, EE must be measured individually in each critically ill child using indirect calorimetry...

....

..To compare the ventilation achieved with chest compressions (CC) or ventilation plus compressions (VC) in a pediatric animal model of cardiac arrest...

..For these reasons, this may be a good method for performing CRRT in patients on ECMO...

..These data suggest that this method is not useful for evaluating CI in small children...

..Further, we show that the addition of phosphate to replacement and dialysate solutions is safe and that it reduces the incidence of hypophosphatemia and the need for intravenous phosphate treatment...

..To compare a standard diet and a protein-enriched diet in critically ill children...

..There were no visible signs of precipitation up to 48 h. The addition of phosphate to the CRRT fluids at concentrations of up to 7.7 mg/dL does not cause problems with precipitation or instability of the mixture...

..The objective of this study was to compare these two methods of pH measurement...

..However, their ability to predict digestive tract complications is low...

..To study the accuracy of three devices for measuring transcutaneous CO(2) tension in critically ill children...

..There were no adverse effects. We conclude that continuous intravenous neostigmine can be effective in critically ill children with refractory constipation. Further studies are necessary to determine the dose and safety of the treatment...

..Bioreactance is a new non-invasive method for cardiac output measurement (NICOM). There are no studies that have analysed the utility of this technique in a pediatric animal model of hemorrhagic shock...
