    More info
    Fluid and nutrition support are essential components of intensive care management of children with pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) with well-recognized associations with patient outcome. As liberal fluid administration is associated with fluid accumulation and, in turn, worse oxygenation, adequate nutrition delivery could potentially create a competing goal. However, receipt of a higher proportion of goal energy and protein is associated with improved patient outcome in PARDS. Nutrition support is often limited or fails to meet energy and protein goals due to delayed initiation of feeds, interruptions for ICU procedures, feeding intolerance, and to prevent or manage existing fluid overload. Despite contrary evidence, additional restriction of daily protein delivery often accompanies restrictive fluid management for children with severe PARDS with acute kidney injury (AKI). The balanced management of nutritional status, fluid overload, and AKI presents unique challenges when caring for children with PARDS. Careful multidisciplinary team-based care is necessary to prescribe guideline-recommended minimum macronutrient needs to preserve lean body mass and optimize respiratory muscle function, to avoid fluid overload, and coordinate care for AKI. American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) and Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) recommendations for provision of nutrition in critically ill children include (1) early screening of nutritional status to identify patients at high nutritional risk; (2) use of predictive equations to determine energy requirements without the addition of stress factors when indirect calorimetry (IC) is not available; (3) target energy for the first week of critical illness should be at least 2/3 of total energy requirements; (4) minimum protein delivery is 1.5 g/kg/day; (5) enteral nutrition (EN) is the preferred route of nutrition delivery, should be initiated within 24–48 hours of ICU admission, and should be advanced by a stepwise institutional algorithm; and (6) parenteral nutrition (PN) should be delayed at least 24 hours after ICU admission and initiated only for children who cannot be fed enterally during their first week of ICU stay, or for children with baseline high nutritional risk who cannot tolerate more than low volumes of EN. Current nutritional guidelines recommend modest energy goals, and with the possibility of low-volume protein supplementation, it is possible to achieve goal nutrition and avoid fluid overload due to nutrition delivery in most patients. Therapies currently used to treat and manage fluid overload in PARDS with and without AKI include fluid restriction, diuretics, and continuous or intermittent renal replacement therapies. Careful monitoring of protein tolerance, but not protein restriction, is needed in the setting of AKI. If renal replacement therapies are needed for AKI, optimal nutrition delivery should take into account dialysis-associated nutrient losses. In this chapter, we will review the principles of management for fluid, nutrition, and AKI in children with PARDS.

    More info
    Antibiotics have improved survival from previously deadly infectious diseases. Antibiotics alter the microbial composition of the gut microbiota, and these changes are associated with diminished innate immunity and decline in cognitive function in older adults. The composition of the human microbiota changes with age over the human lifespan. In this pilot study, we sought to identify if age is associated with differential recovery of the microbiota after antibiotic exposure. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we compared recovery of the gut microbiota after the 10-day broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment in wild-type C57BL/six young and older mice. Immediately after antibiotic cessation, as expected, the number of ASVs, representing taxonomic richness, in both young and older mice significantly declined from the baseline. Mice were followed up to 6 months after cessation of the single 10-day antibiotic regimen. The Bray-Curtis index recovered within 20 days after antibiotic cessation in young mice, whereas in older mice the microbiota did not fully recover during the 6-months of follow-up. , , _NK4A136_group became dominant in older mice, whereas in young mice, the bacteria were more evenly distributed, with only one dominant genus of From 45 genera that became extinct after antibiotic treatment in young mice, 31 (68.9%) did not recover by the end of the study. In older mice, from 36 extinct genera, 27 (75%) did not recover. The majority of the genera that became extinct and never recovered belonged to phylum and family. In our study, age was a factor associated with the long-term recovery of the gut microbiota after the 10-day antibiotic treatment.

    Decreased TNF-α production in whole blood after ex vivo LPS stimulation indicates suppression of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)4 pathway. This is associated with increased mortality in pediatric influenza critical illness. Whether antiviral immune signaling pathways are also suppressed in these patients is unclear..We sought to evaluate suppression of the TLR4 and the antiviral retinoic acid-inducible gene-I (RIG-I) pathways with clinical outcomes in children with severe influenza infection..In this 24-center, prospective, observational cohort study of children with confirmed influenza infection, blood was collected within 72 hours of intensive care unit admission. Ex vivo whole blood stimulations were performed with matched controls using the viral ligand polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid-low-molecular-weight/LyoVec and LPS to evaluate IFN-α and TNF-α production capacities (RIG-I and TLR4 pathways, respectively)..Suppression of either IFN-α or TNF-α production capacity was associated with longer duration of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization, and increased organ dysfunction. Children with suppression of both RIG-I and TLR4 pathways (n = 33 of 103 [32%]) were more likely to have prolonged (≥7 days) multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome (30.3% vs 8.6%; P = .004) or prolonged hypoxemic respiratory failure (39.4% vs 11.4%; P = .001) compared with those with single- or no pathway suppression..Suppression of both RIG-I and TLR4 signaling pathways, essential for respective antiviral and antibacterial responses, is common in previously immunocompetent children with influenza-related critical illness and is associated with bacterial coinfection and adverse outcomes. Prospective testing of both pathways may aid in risk-stratification and in immune monitoring.

    More info
    Appropriate nutrition is an essential component of intensive care management of children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and is linked to patient outcomes. One out of every two children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) will develop malnutrition or have worsening of baseline malnutrition and present with specific micronutrient deficiencies. Early and adequate enteral nutrition (EN) is associated with improved 60-day survival after pediatric critical illness, and, yet, despite early EN guidelines, critically ill children receive on average only 55% of goal calories by PICU day 10. Inadequate delivery of EN is due to perceived feeding intolerance, reluctance to enterally feed children with hemodynamic instability, and fluid restriction. Underlying each of these factors is large practice variation between providers and across institutions for initiation, advancement, and maintenance of EN. Strategies to improve early initiation and advancement and to maintain delivery of EN are needed to improve morbidity and mortality from pediatric ARDS. Both, over and underfeeding, prolong duration of mechanical ventilation in children and worsen other organ function such that precise calorie goals are needed. The gut is thought to act as a "motor" of organ dysfunction, and emerging data regarding the role of intestinal barrier functions and the intestinal microbiome on organ dysfunction and outcomes of critical illness present exciting opportunities to improve patient outcomes. Nutrition should be considered a primary rather than supportive therapy for pediatric ARDS. Precise nutritional therapies, which are titrated and targeted to preservation of intestinal barrier function, prevention of intestinal dysbiosis, preservation of lean body mass, and blunting of the systemic inflammatory response, offer great potential for improving outcomes of pediatric ARDS. In this review, we examine the current evidence regarding dose, route, and timing of nutrition, current recommendations for provision of nutrition to children with ARDS, and the current literature for immune-modulating diets for pediatric ARDS. We will examine emerging data regarding the role of the intestinal microbiome in modulating the response to critical illness.

    More info
    Our objectives were to review and categorize the existing data sources that are important to pediatric critical care medicine (PCCM) investigators and the types of questions that have been or could be studied with each data source. We conducted a narrative review of the medical literature, categorized the data sources available to PCCM investigators, and created an online data source registry. We found that many data sources are available for research in PCCM. To date, PCCM investigators have most often relied on pediatric critical care registries and treatment- or disease-specific registries. The available data sources vary widely in the level of clinical detail and the types of questions they can reliably answer. Linkage of data sources can expand the types of questions that a data source can be used to study. Careful matching of the scientific question to the best available data source or linked data sources is necessary. In addition, rigorous application of the best available analysis techniques and reporting consistent with observational research standards will maximize the quality of research using existing data in PCCM.

    More info
    To better understand the development of cholinergic-like neurons within the superior olivary complex, we investigated the onset and distribution of two well-known markers of cholinergic-like neurons in hamsters: choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE). From embryonic day (E) 14 through postnatal day (P) 0, olivary cells immunopositive for ChAT were restricted to the rostral periolivary (RPO) area. Between P0 and P3, ChAT-positive cells are found in progressively more caudal and ventral periolivary locations. Although rostral and ventral periolivary cells exhibited an early onset of ChAT expression, stable numbers were not reached until P4. In contrast, ChAT expression within the lateral superior olive (LSO) is not visible until after P0 and higher numbers of ChAT-positive cells are obtained by P5. The AChE expression lags several days but follows roughly the same pattern of onset as for ChAT. Additionally in rostral and ventral periolivary regions as well as in the LSO, there were fewer AChE-labeled cells than ChAT-labeled cells. The observed temporal relationships in cholinergic-like expression within olivary cells suggest that different cholinergic-like populations may be defined on the basis of the onset of neurotransmitter-related enzymes: RPO cells are first, cells in ventral periolivary regions are second, and cells associated with the LSO are last. The differences observed in the onset of ChAT and AChE expression may reflect differences in the timing of target innervation as well as differences in synaptogenesis.
