Atis SK, Duyu M, Karakaya Z, Yilmaz A. Citrate anticoagulation and systemic heparin anticoagulation during continuous renal replacement therapy among critically-ill children. Pediatr Res 2024:10.1038/s41390-024-03163-x. [PMID: 38555381 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-024-03163-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
BAKCGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of citrate versus heparin anticoagulation for CRRT in critically-ill children. METHODS This retrospective comparative cohort reviewed the clinical records of critically-ill children undergoing CRRT with either RCA or systemic heparin anticoagulation. The primary outcome measure was hemofilter survival time. Secondary outcomes included the comparison of complications and metabolic disorders. RESULTS A total of 131 patients (55 RCA and 76 systemic heparin) were included, in which a cumulative number of 280 hemofilters were used (115 in RCA with 5762 h total CRRT time, and 165 in systemic heparin with 6230 h total CRRT time). Hemofilter survival was significantly longer for RCA (51.0 h; IQR: 24-67 h) compared to systemic heparin (29.5 h; IQR, 17-48 h) (p = 0.002). Clotting-related hemofilter failure occurred in 9.6% of the RCA group compared to 19.6% in the systemic heparin group (p = 0.038). Citrate accumulation occurred in 4 (3.5%) of 115 RCA sessions. Hypocalcemia and metabolic alkalosis episodes were significantly more frequent in RCA recipients (35.7% vs 15.2%, p < 0.0001; 33.0% vs 19.4%, p = 0.009). CONCLUSION RCA is a safe and effective anticoagulation method for CRRT in critically-ill children and it prolongs hemofilter survival. IMPACT RCA is superior to systemic heparin for the prolongation of circuit survival (overall and for clotting-related loss) during CRRT. These data indicate that RCA can be used to maximize the effective delivery of CRRT in critically-ill patients admitted to the PICU. There are potential cost-saving implications from our results owing to benefits such as less circuit downtime and fewer circuit changes.

Fluid assessment, fluid balance, and fluid overload in sick children: a report from the Pediatric Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) conference. Pediatr Nephrol 2024; 39:955-979. [PMID: 37934274 PMCID: PMC10817849 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-023-06156-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 08/29/2023] [Indexed: 11/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of disorders of fluid balance, including the pathologic state of fluid overload in sick children has become increasingly apparent. With this understanding, there has been a shift from application of absolute thresholds of fluid accumulation to an appreciation of the intricacies of fluid balance, including the impact of timing, trajectory, and disease pathophysiology. METHODS The 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative was the first to be exclusively dedicated to pediatric and neonatal acute kidney injury (pADQI). As part of the consensus panel, a multidisciplinary working group dedicated to fluid balance, fluid accumulation, and fluid overload was created. Through a search, review, and appraisal of the literature, summative consensus statements, along with identification of knowledge gaps and recommendations for clinical practice and research were developed. CONCLUSIONS The 26th pADQI conference proposed harmonized terminology for fluid balance and for describing a pathologic state of fluid overload for clinical practice and research. Recommendations include that the terms daily fluid balance, cumulative fluid balance, and percent cumulative fluid balance be utilized to describe the fluid status of sick children. The term fluid overload is to be preserved for describing a pathologic state of positive fluid balance associated with adverse events. Several recommendations for research were proposed including focused validation of the definition of fluid balance, fluid overload, and proposed methodologic approaches and endpoints for clinical trials.

An overview from the Critical Care Nephrology Section of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC). Eur J Pediatr 2024; 183:529-541. [PMID: 37975941 PMCID: PMC10912166 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05318-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is the preferred method for renal support in critically ill and hemodynamically unstable children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) as it allows for gentle removal of fluids and solutes. The most frequent indications for CRRT include acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO) as well as non-renal indications such as removal of toxic metabolites in acute liver failure, inborn errors of metabolism, and intoxications and removal of inflammatory mediators in sepsis. AKI and/or FO are common in critically ill children and their presence is associated with worse outcomes. Therefore, early recognition of AKI and FO is important and timely transfer of patients who might require CRRT to a center with institutional expertise should be considered. Although CRRT has been increasingly used in the critical care setting, due to the lack of standardized recommendations, wide practice variations exist regarding the main aspects of CRRT application in critically ill children. Conclusion: In this review, from the Critical Care Nephrology section of the European Society of Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care (ESPNIC), we summarize the key aspects of CRRT delivery and highlight the importance of adequate follow up among AKI survivors which might be of relevance for the general pediatric community. What is Known: • CRRT is the preferred method of renal support in critically ill and hemodynamically unstable children in the PICU as it allows for gentle removal of fluids and solutes. • Although CRRT has become an important and integral part of modern pediatric critical care, wide practice variations exist in all aspects of CRRT. What is New: • Given the lack of literature on guidance for a general pediatrician on when to refer a child for CRRT, we recommend timely transfer to a center with institutional expertise in CRRT, as both worsening AKI and FO have been associated with increased mortality. • Adequate follow-up of PICU patients with AKI and CRRT is highlighted as recent findings demonstrate that these children are at increased risk for adverse long-term outcomes.

Abstract
To characterize kidney replacement therapy (KRT) and pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) outcomes and to identify the optimal timing of KRT initiation during ECMO associated with increased survival. Observational retrospective cohort study using the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry database in children (0-18 yo) on ECMO from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2020. Of the 14,318 ECMO runs analyzed, 26% of patients received KRT during ECMO. Patients requiring KRT before ECMO had increased mortality to ECMO decannulation (29% vs. 17%, OR 1.97, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (58% vs. 39%, OR 2.16, P < 0.001). Patients requiring KRT during ECMO had an increased mortality to ECMO decannulation (25% vs. 15%, OR 1.85, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (56% vs. 34%, OR 2.47, P < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that the need for KRT during ECMO was an independent predictor for mortality to ECMO decannulation (OR 1.49, P < 0.001) and to hospital discharge (OR 2.02, P < 0.001). Patients initiated on KRT between 24 and 72 hours after cannulation were more likely to survive to ECMO decannulation and showed a trend towards survival to hospital discharge as compared to those initiated before 24 hours and after 72 hours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in critically ill children is rapidly increasing, but the standard of care has not yet been established and prognosis remains poor. To develop optimal CRRT strategies, we launched a research project generating the Japanese Pediatric CRRT registry, a multicenter registry of CRRT in Japanese pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), to investigate the actual status of CRRT in recent years in PICUs, where data are lacking. METHODS This manuscript presents a protocol for planning a multicenter prospective registry. As of April 2023, 15 Japanese PICUs are voluntarily participating. Patients enrolled are those <16 years of age who enter the PICUs of the collaborating institutions, require CRRT, and have the guardians' consent. CRRT is defined as anticipated to be required for >24 hours, and CRRT connected to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is also included. The registry is an online registry system managed by the University Hospital Medical Information Network. The primary outcomes are Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category Scale at PICU discharge and 6 months post-discharge (deaths included), persistent need for dialysis, and PICU readmission within 6 months. The secondary outcomes are adverse events during and immediately after CRRT initiation, and initial circuit life span. CONCLUSIONS This project will examine the differences in outcomes of CRRT in PICUs in specific patient and treatment groups and will be used to design future interventional studies. We will also aim to establish a platform for a multicenter registry study in Japanese PICUs, considering the current lack of such a platform.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) has become an integral part of the care of critically ill children. However, uncertainty exists regarding the current state of how CKRT is prescribed and delivered in children. The main objective of this study was to identify the current practices for pediatric CKRT. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the literature from 2012 to 2022 to identify data regarding CKRT timing of initiation, dosing, anticoagulation, fluid removal, and quality monitoring. Using this data, we then performed a two-round modified Delphi process using a multinational internet-assisted survey of prescribers of CKRT. RESULTS The survey was constructed using 172 articles that met inclusion criteria (12% of studies were pediatric focused). A total of 147 and 126 practitioners completed the survey in rounds 1 and 2, respectively. Participants represented Europe (9.5-11.6%) and North America including pediatric intensivists, nephrologists, and advance practice providers. Consensus (defined as a ≥ 75% participant response of "sometimes" or "always") was achieved for 26 statements. There was consensus in the practices of CKRT initiation, dosing, method of anticoagulation, and fluid removal. In contrast, there appears to be greater variability in the methods used for monitoring anticoagulation and the quality of the delivered treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our study results suggest that the current state of pediatric CKRT practice is reflective of the literature over the last 10 years, which is largely based on the care of adult patients. This data provides a framework to study best practices to further improve outcomes for children receiving CKRT. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Introduction Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is used for the symptomatic management of acute kidney injury (AKI) and fluid overload (FO). Contemporary reports on pediatric CRRT are small and single center in design. Large international studies evaluating CRRT practice and outcomes are lacking. Herein, we describe the design of a multinational collaborative. Methods The Worldwide Exploration of Renal Replacement Outcomes Collaborative in Kidney Disease (WE-ROCK) is an international collaborative of pediatric specialists whose mission is to improve short- and long-term outcomes of children treated with CRRT. The aims of this multicenter retrospective study are to describe the epidemiology, liberation patterns, association of fluid balance and timing of CRRT initiation, and CRRT prescription with outcomes. Results We included children (n = 996, 0-25 years) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) and treated with CRRT for AKI or FO at 32 centers (in 7 countries) from 2018 to 2021. Demographics and clinical characteristics before CRRT initiation, during the first 7 days of both CRRT, and liberation were collected. Outcomes include the following: (i) major adverse kidney events at 90 days (mortality, dialysis dependence, and persistent kidney dysfunction), and (ii) functional outcomes (functional stats scale). Conclusion The retrospective WE-ROCK study represents the largest international registry of children receiving CRRT for AKI or FO. It will serve as a broad and invaluable resource for the field of pediatric critical care nephrology that will improve our understanding of practice heterogeneity and the association of CRRT with clinical and patient-centered outcomes. This will generate preliminary data for future interventional trials in this area.

Abstract
Fluid overload is common among pediatric cardiac patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and is often treated with in-line ultrafiltration (UF) or continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). We assessed whether CRRT was associated with poor outcomes versus UF alone. Additionally, we identified characteristics associated with progression from UF to CRRT. Retrospective chart review of 131 patients age ≤18 years treated with ECMO at a single quaternary center. Data were collected to compare patient demographics, characteristics, and outcomes. A receiver operator curve (ROC) was used to create a tool predictive of the need for CRRT at the time of UF initiation. Patients who required CRRT had a higher creatinine and blood urea nitrogen at time of UF initiation ( p = 0.03 and p < 0.01), longer total ECMO duration ( p < 0.01), lower renal recovery incidence ( p = 0.02), and higher mortality ( p ≤ 0.01). Using ROC analysis, presence of ≤3 of 7 risk variables had a positive predictive value of 87.5% and negative predictive value of 50.0% for use of UF alone (area under the curve 0.801; 95% CI: 0.638-0.965, p = 0.002). Pediatric cardiac patients treated with ECMO and UF who require CRRT demonstrate worse outcomes versus UF alone. A novel clinical tool may assist in stratifying patients at UF initiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fluid overload (FO) is known to occur frequently after pediatric cardiac surgery and is associated with morbidity and mortality. Fontan patients are at risk to develop FO due to their critical fluid balance. Furthermore, they need an adequate preload in order to maintain adequate cardiac output. This study aimed to identify FO in patients undergoing Fontan completion and the impact of FO on pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) length of stay (LOS) and cardiac events, defined as death, cardiac re-surgery or PICU re-hospitalization during follow-up. METHODS In this retrospective single center study, the presence of FO was assessed in 43 consecutive children undergoing Fontan completion. RESULTS Patients with more than 5% maximum FO had an extended PICU LOS (3.9 [2.9-6.9] vs. 1.9 [1.0-2.6] days; p < 0.001) and an increased length of mechanical ventilation (21 [9-121] vs. 6 [5-10] h; p = 0.001). Regression analysis demonstrated that an increase of 1% maximum FO was associated with a prolonged PICU LOS of 13% (95% CI 1.042-1.227; p = 0.004). Furthermore, patients with FO were at higher risk to develop cardiac events. CONCLUSIONS FO is associated with short-term and long-term complications. Further studies are needed to determine the impact of FO on the outcome in this specific population.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review summarizes current literature pertaining to fluid management for critically ill children. It includes an overview on crystalloid fluid used throughout the critical illness course, management of fluid output and complications with fluid overload. RECENT FINDINGS Observational paediatric studies and adult randomized trials show mixed results regarding risk of mortality and kidney injury with 0.9% saline and crystalloid fluid. A recent adult randomized trial suggests that a fluid restrictive strategy may be well tolerated in critically ill adults with septic shock, but further randomized trials are needed in paediatrics. Fluid overload has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Trials exploring ways to decrease fluid accumulation must be done in paediatrics. SUMMARY Additional high-quality studies are needed to precisely define the type, timing and rate of intravenous fluid critically ill children should receive throughout their clinical illness course.

Abstract
AbstractThe objective is to assess impact of fluid removal on improvement in organ function in children who received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) for management of acute kidney injury and/or fluid overload (FO). A retrospective review of eligible patients admitted to a tertiary level intensive care unit over a 3-year period was performed. Improvement in nonrenal organ function, the primary outcome, was defined as decrease in nonrenal component of Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) score on day 3 of CRRT. The cohort was categorized into Group 1 (improvement) and Group 2 (no improvement or worsening) in nonrenal PELOD score. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent predictors. A higher PELOD score at CRRT initiation (odds ratio [OR]: 1.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05, 1.18, p < 0.001), belonging to infant-age group (OR: 4.53, 95% CI: 4.40, 5.13, p = 0.02) and greater fluid removal during initial 3 days of CRRT (OR: 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.10, p = 0.01) were associated with an improvement in nonrenal PELOD score at day 3 of CRRT. FO at CRRT initiation (OR: 0.66, 95% CI: 0.46, 0.93, p = 0.02) and having an underlying oncologic diagnosis (OR: 0.28, 95% CI: 0.09, 0.85, p = 0.03) were associated with worsening of nonrenal PELOD score at day 3 of CRRT. Careful consideration of certain modifiable patient and/or fluid removal kinetic factors may have an impact on outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To provide an updated review of the literature on nonpulmonary treatments for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) from the Second Pediatric Acute Lung Injury Consensus Conference. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Elsevier), and CINAHL Complete (EBSCOhost). STUDY SELECTION Searches were limited to children with PARDS or hypoxic respiratory failure focused on nonpulmonary adjunctive therapies (sedation, delirium management, neuromuscular blockade, nutrition, fluid management, transfusion, sleep management, and rehabilitation). DATA EXTRACTION Title/abstract review, full-text review, and data extraction using a standardized data collection form. DATA SYNTHESIS The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was used to identify and summarize evidence and develop recommendations. Twenty-five studies were identified for full-text extraction. Five clinical practice recommendations were generated, related to neuromuscular blockade, nutrition, fluid management, and transfusion. Thirteen good practice statements were generated on the use of sedation, iatrogenic withdrawal syndrome, delirium, sleep management, rehabilitation, and additional information on neuromuscular blockade and nutrition. Three research statements were generated to promote further investigation in nonpulmonary therapies for PARDS. CONCLUSIONS These recommendations and statements about nonpulmonary treatments in PARDS are intended to promote optimization and consistency of care for patients with PARDS and identify areas of uncertainty requiring further investigation.

A quality initiative to improve recognition of fluid overload among pediatric ICU patients requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy: preliminary results. Pediatr Nephrol 2023; 38:557-564. [PMID: 35522340 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-022-05584-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Initiation of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) greater than 20% fluid overload is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. We aimed to reduce the number of patients initiated on CKRT greater than 20% fluid overload by 50% in one year by implementation of a quality improvement initiative. METHODS This is a prospective quality improvement study set in a pediatric ICU of an urban children's hospital of patients initiated on CKRT over 2 years. The intervention included creation of an electronic health record order for daily calculation of net percent fluid overload, incorporation into daily rounds, and education programs tailored to physicians and bedside nursing. We measured adherence with the new order set, percent fluid overload at CKRT initiation, days on CKRT, timing of first nephrology consultation, and death prior to discharge. RESULTS A total of 32% of patients were initiated on CKRT greater than 20% fluid overload pre-initiative and 9% post-initiative, a 72% reduction over 13 months. Patients initiated on CKRT greater than 20% fluid overload had median CKRT course of 8 (IQR 4-14) vs. 22 days (IQR 13.5-62). CONCLUSION Creating a system using EHR with education may reduce initiation of CKRT after development of severe fluid overload. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
Children with severe acute kidney injury (AKI) have had a high mortality rate despite the use of advanced renal replacement therapy (RRT). This study aims to determine the clinical outcomes and the predictors of survival in pediatric AKI requiring RRT in Thailand. All patients aged 1 month to 18 years with AKI requiring RRT in the Department of Pediatrics, Ramathibodi Hospital from January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2019 were enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were obtained through a medical record review. There were 92 patients with a 45% survival rate. Five factors associated with mortality included multi-organ dysfunction syndrome, presence of sepsis, high pediatric risk of mortality III, use of nephrotoxic drugs, and use of vasopressors. By multivariate analysis, the presence of sepsis and the use of nephrotoxic drugs were independently associated with mortality. Patients with fluid overload ≥10% was associated with poor survival.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) is the preferred method of kidney support for children with critical illness in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). However, there are no data on the current CKRT management practices in European PICUs. OBJECTIVE To describe current CKRT practices across European PICUs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This cross-sectional survey of PICUs in 20 European countries was conducted by the Critical Care Nephrology Section of the European Society of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care from April 1, 2020, to May 31, 2022. Participants included intensivists and nurses working in European PICUs. The survey was developed in English and distributed using SurveyMonkey. One response from each PICU that provided CKRT was included in the analysis. Data were analyzed from June 1 to June 30, 2022. MAIN OUTCOME AND MEASURES Demographic characteristics of European PICUs along with organizational and delivery aspects of CKRT (including prescription, liberation from CKRT, and training and education) were assessed. RESULTS Of 283 survey responses received, 161 were included in the analysis (response rate, 76%). The attending PICU consultant (70%) and the PICU team (77%) were mainly responsible for CKRT prescription, whereas the PICU nurses were responsible for circuit setup (49%) and bedside machine running (67%). Sixty-one percent of permanent nurses received training to use CKRT, with no need for certification or recertification in 36% of PICUs. Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration was the preferred dialytic modality (51%). Circuit priming was performed with normal saline (67%) and blood priming in children weighing less than 10 kg (56%). Median (IQR) CKRT dose was 35 (30-50) mL/kg/h in neonates and 30 (30-40) mL/kg/h in children aged 1 month to 18 years. Forty-one percent of PICUs used regional unfractionated heparin infusion, whereas 35% used citrate-based regional anticoagulation. Filters were changed for filter clotting (53%) and increased transmembrane pressure (47%). For routine circuit changes, 72 hours was the cutoff in 62% of PICUs. Some PICUs (34%) monitored fluid removal goals every 4 hours, with variation from 12 hours (17%) to 24 hours (13%). Fluid removal goals ranged from 1 to 3 mL/kg/h. Liberation from CKRT was performed with a diuretic bolus followed by an infusion (32%) or a diuretic bolus alone (19%). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE This survey study found a wide variation in current CKRT practice, including organizational aspects, education and training, prescription, and liberation from CKRT, in European PICUs. This finding calls for concerted efforts on the part of the pediatric critical care and nephrology communities to streamline CKRT education and training, research, and guidelines to reduce variation in practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the prevalence, patterns, explanatory variables, and outcomes associated with fluid accumulation (FA) in mechanically ventilated children. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary PICU. PATIENTS Children mechanically ventilated for greater than or equal to 24 hours. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Between July 2016 and July 2021, 1,636 children met eligibility criteria. Median age was 5.5 months (interquartile range [IQR], 0.7-46.5 mo), and congenital heart disease was the most common diagnosis. Overall, by day 7 of admission, the median maximum cumulative FA, as a percentage of estimated admission weight, was 7.5% (IQR, 3.3-15.1) occurring at a median of 4 days after admission. Overall, higher FA was associated with greater duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) (mean difference, 1.17 [95% CI, 1.13-1.22]; p < 0.001]), longer intensive care length of stay (LOS) (mean difference, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.12-1.21]; p < 0.001]), longer hospital LOS (mean difference, 1.19 [95% CI, 1.13-1.26]; p < 0.001]), and increased mortality (odds ratio, 1.31 [95% CI, 1.08-1.59]; p = 0.005). However, these associations depended on the effects of children with extreme values, and there was no increase in risk up to 20% FA, overall, in children following cardiopulmonary bypass and in children in the general ICU. When excluding children with maximum FA of >10%, there was no association with duration of MV (mean difference, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.94-1.04]; p = 0.64) and intensive care or hospital LOS (mean difference, 1.01 [95% CI, 0.96-1.06]; p = 0.70 and 1.01 [95% CI, 0.95-1.08]; 0.79, respectively) but an association with reduced mortality 0.71 (95% CI, 0.53-0.97; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS In mechanically ventilated critically ill children, greater maximum FA was associated with longer duration of MV, intensive care LOS, hospital LOS, and mortality. However, these findings were driven by extreme values of FA of greater than 20%, and up to 10%, there was reduced mortality and no signal of harm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition among patients in intensive care units (ICUs) and is associated with high numbers of deaths. Kidney replacement therapy (KRT) is a blood purification technique used to treat the most severe forms of AKI. The optimal time to initiate KRT so as to improve clinical outcomes remains uncertain. This is an update of a review first published in 2018. This review complements another Cochrane review by the same authors: Intensity of continuous renal replacement therapy for acute kidney injury. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of different timing (early and standard) of KRT initiation on death and recovery of kidney function in critically ill patients with AKI. SEARCH METHODS We searched the Cochrane Kidney and Transplant's Specialised Register to 4 August 2022 through contact with the Information Specialist using search terms relevant to this review. Studies in the Register are identified through searches of CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, conference proceedings, the International Clinical Trials Register, ClinicalTrials and LILACS to 1 August 2022. SELECTION CRITERIA We included all randomised controlled trials (RCTs). We included all patients with AKI in the ICU regardless of age, comparing early versus standard KRT initiation. For safety and cost outcomes, we planned to include cohort studies and non-RCTs. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data were extracted independently by two authors. The random-effects model was used, and results were reported as risk ratios(RR) for dichotomous outcomes and mean difference(MD) for continuous outcomes, with 95% confidence intervals (CI). MAIN RESULTS We included 12 studies enrolling 4880 participants. Overall, most domains were assessed as being at low or unclear risk of bias. Compared to standard treatment, early KRT initiation may have little to no difference on the risk of death at day 30 (12 studies, 4826 participants: RR 0.97,95% CI 0.87 to 1.09; I²= 29%; low certainty evidence), and death after 30 days (7 studies, 4534 participants: RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.92 to 1.07; I² = 6%; moderate certainty evidence). Early KRT initiation may make little or no difference to the risk of death or non-recovery of kidney function at 90 days (6 studies, 4011 participants: RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.11; I² = 66%; low certainty evidence); CIs included both benefits and harms. Low certainty evidence showed early KRT initiation may make little or no difference to the number of patients who were free from KRT (10 studies, 4717 participants: RR 1.07, 95% CI 0.94 to1.22; I² = 55%) and recovery of kidney function among survivors who were free from KRT after day 30 (10 studies, 2510 participants: RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.07; I² = 69%) compared to standard treatment. High certainty evidence showed early KRT initiation increased the risk of hypophosphataemia (1 study, 2927 participants: RR 1.80, 95% CI 1.33 to 2.44), hypotension (5 studies, 3864 participants: RR 1.54, 95% CI 1.29 to 1.85; I² = 0%), cardiac-rhythm disorder (6 studies, 4483 participants: RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.75; I² = 16%), and infection (5 studies, 4252 participants: RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.77; I² = 0%); however, it is uncertain whether early KRT initiation increases or reduces the number of patients who experienced any adverse events (5 studies, 3983 participants: RR 1.23, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.68; I² = 91%; very low certainty evidence). Moderate certainty evidence showed early KRT initiation probably reduces the number of days in hospital (7 studies, 4589 participants: MD-2.45 days, 95% CI -4.75 to -0.14; I² = 10%) and length of stay in ICU (5 studies, 4240 participants: MD -1.01 days, 95% CI -1.60 to -0.42; I² = 0%). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Based on mainly low to moderate certainty of the evidence, early KRT has no beneficial effect on death and may increase the recovery of kidney function. Earlier KRT probably reduces the length of ICU and hospital stay but increases the risk of adverse events. Further adequate-powered RCTs using robust and validated tools that complement clinical judgement are needed to define the optimal time of KRT in critical patients with AKI in order to improve their outcomes. The surgical AKI population should be considered in future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The overall incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery is yet to be determined. The study aims are to analyze our experience in emergency gastrointestinal surgery for neonates and to evaluate the incidence of AKI. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of neonates undergoing emergency gastrointestinal surgery between June 31, 2018 and May 10, 2022 (N = 329). The primary outcome was the overall incidence of AKI. The diagnostic AKI was based on the Modified Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) definition of neonatal AKI. The secondary outcomes, including the postoperative length of hospital stay (PLOS), 24-h mortality, in-hospital mortality, and total in-hospital cost, were analyzed. The risk factors associated with the development of postoperative AKI were also analyzed. RESULTS The incidence of postoperative AKI was 9.1% (30/329). No significant differences were detected in the 24-h mortality and in-hospital mortality between the two cohorts. In the final model, patients undergoing mechanical ventilation before surgery, vasopressor support, surgical duration, intraoperative oliguria and preoperative lowest serum creatinine (SCr), were independently associated with AKI. CONCLUSION Our study found that patients undergoing mechanical ventilation before surgery, vasopressor support, surgical duration, intraoperative oliguria and preoperative lowest SCr were independently associated with postoperative AKI in neonates who accepted emergency gastrointestinal surgeries.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Increasing evidence indicates that acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs frequently in children and young adults and is associated with poor short-term and long-term outcomes. Guidance is required to focus efforts related to expansion of pediatric AKI knowledge. OBJECTIVE To develop expert-driven pediatric specific recommendations on needed AKI research, education, practice, and advocacy. EVIDENCE REVIEW At the 26th Acute Disease Quality Initiative meeting conducted in November 2021 by 47 multiprofessional international experts in general pediatrics, nephrology, and critical care, the panel focused on 6 areas: (1) epidemiology; (2) diagnostics; (3) fluid overload; (4) kidney support therapies; (5) biology, pharmacology, and nutrition; and (6) education and advocacy. An objective scientific review and distillation of literature through September 2021 was performed of (1) epidemiology, (2) risk assessment and diagnosis, (3) fluid assessment, (4) kidney support and extracorporeal therapies, (5) pathobiology, nutrition, and pharmacology, and (6) education and advocacy. Using an established modified Delphi process based on existing data, workgroups derived consensus statements with recommendations. FINDINGS The meeting developed 12 consensus statements and 29 research recommendations. Principal suggestions were to address gaps of knowledge by including data from varying socioeconomic groups, broadening definition of AKI phenotypes, adjudicating fluid balance by disease severity, integrating biopathology of child growth and development, and partnering with families and communities in AKI advocacy. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Existing evidence across observational study supports further efforts to increase knowledge related to AKI in childhood. Significant gaps of knowledge may be addressed by focused efforts.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important treatment option for organ support in respiratory insufficiency, cardiac failure, or as an advanced tool for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Reports on pediatric ECMO use in our region are lacking. METHODS This study is a retrospective review of all pediatric cases that underwent a veno-arterial (VA) or veno-venous (VV) ECMO protocol between November 2009 and August 2020 at the Department of Pediatrics, University Hospital Center Zagreb, Croatia. RESULTS Fifty-two ECMO runs identified over the period; data were complete for 45 cases, of which 23 (51%) were female, and median age was 8 months. Thirty-eight (84%) patients were treated using the VA-and 7 (16%) using VV-ECMO. The overall survival rate was 51%. Circulatory failure was the most common indication for ECMO (N = 38, 84%), and in 17 patients ECMO was started after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR). Among survivors, 74% had no or minor neurological sequelae. Variables associated with poor outcome were renal failure with renal replacement therapy (p < .001) and intracranial injury (p < .001). CONCLUSION Overall survival rate in our cohort is comparable to the data published in the literature. The use of hemodialysis was shown to be associated with higher mortality. High rates of full neurological recovery among survivors are a strong case for further ECMO program development in our institution.

Creatinine correction to account for fluid overload in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: an initial exploratory report. Pediatr Nephrol 2022; 37:891-898. [PMID: 34545447 DOI: 10.1007/s00467-021-05257-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Revised: 07/15/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Creatinine is distributed between the intracellular and extracellular compartments, and as a result, the measurement of its concentration is strongly related to the fluid status of the patient. An interest has been shown in correcting measured serum creatinine levels according to the fluid balance in order to better specify the degree of acute kidney injury (AKI). METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study of 33 children, aged 0 to 5 years, admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit for acute respiratory distress syndrome treated by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We compared measured and corrected creatinine and assessed the degree of agreement between these values using both Cohen's kappa and Krippendorff's alpha coefficient. RESULTS In our cohort, 37% of the classifications made according to measured creatinine levels were erroneous and, in the majority of cases, the degree of AKI was underestimated. CONCLUSION Correction of the measured creatinine value according to the degree of fluid overload may result in more accurate diagnosis of AKI.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aims of this study were to describe the demographic characteristics of critically ill children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) at our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and to explore risk factors associated with mortality. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 121 critically ill children who received CRRT from May 2015 to May 2020 in the PICU of a tertiary healthcare institution was evaluated. RESULTS Overall mortality was 29.8%. In patients diagnosed with sepsis, time until CRRT initiation was significantly shorter in survivors compared to non-survivors (p = 0.036). Based on multivariate logistic regression, presence of comorbidity (OR: 5.71), diagnoses of pneumonia/respiratory failure at admission (OR:16.16), and high lactate level at CRRT initiation (OR:1.43) were independently associated with mortality. CONCLUSION In the context of the population studied, mortality rate was lower than previously reported. Despite having a large series, heterogenous characteristics and limitations in subgroups may have influenced results and survival. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
CONTEXT Renal dysfunction is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill children. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the current evidence for criteria defining renal dysfunction in critically ill children and association with adverse outcomes. To develop contemporary consensus criteria for renal dysfunction in critically ill children. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Embase were searched from January 1992 to January 2020. STUDY SELECTION Included studies evaluated critically ill children with renal dysfunction, performance characteristics of assessment tools for renal dysfunction, and outcomes related to mortality, functional status, or organ-specific or other patient-centered outcomes. Studies with adults or premature infants (≤36 weeks' gestational age), animal studies, reviews, case series, and studies not published in English with inability to determine eligibility criteria were excluded. DATA EXTRACTION Data were extracted from included studies into a standard data extraction form by task force members. RESULTS The systematic review supported the following criteria for renal dysfunction: (1) urine output <0.5 mL/kg per hour for ≥6 hours and serum creatinine increase of 1.5 to 1.9 times baseline or ≥0.3 mg/dL, or (2) urine output <0.5 mL/kg per hour for ≥12 hours, or (3) serum creatinine increase ≥2 times baseline, or (4) estimated glomerular filtration rate <35 mL/minute/1.73 m2, or (5) initiation of renal replacement therapy, or (6) fluid overload ≥20%. Data also support criteria for persistent renal dysfunction and for high risk of renal dysfunction. LIMITATIONS All included studies were observational and many were retrospective. CONCLUSIONS We present consensus criteria for renal dysfunction in critically ill children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate practice changes and outcomes over a 10-year period in a large single-center PICU cohort that received continuous renal-replacement therapy. DESIGN Retrospective study design. SETTING A multidisciplinary tertiary PICU of a university-affiliated hospital in Guangzhou, China. PATIENTS All critically ill children who were admitted to our PICU from January 2010 to December 2019 and received continuous renal-replacement therapy were included in this study. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 289 patients were included in the study. Of the two study periods, 2010-2014 and 2015-2019, the proportion of continuous renal-replacement therapy initiation time greater than 24 hours was significantly reduced ([73/223] 32.73% vs. [40/66] 60.60%, p < 0.001), the percentage of fluid overload at continuous renal-replacement therapy initiation was lower (3.8% [1.6-7.2%] vs. 12.1% [6.6-23.3%], p < 0.001), the percentage of regional citrate anticoagulation protocol was increased ([223/223] 100% vs. [15/66] 22.7%, p < 0.001), and the ICU survival rate was significantly improved ([24/66] 36.4% vs. [131/223] 58.7%, p = 0.001) in the latter period compared with the former. In addition, subgroup analysis found that survival were higher in patients with continuous renal-replacement therapy initiation time less than 24 hours, regional citrate anticoagulation protocol, and fluid overload less than 10%. CONCLUSIONS The survival rate of patients received continuous renal-replacement therapy treatment in our center has improved over past 10 years, and some changes have taken place during these periods. Among them, early initiation of continuous renal-replacement therapy, lower fluid overload, and regional citrate anticoagulation method seems to be related to the improvement of outcome. Ongoing evaluation of the practice changes and quality improvement of continuous renal-replacement therapy for critically ill pediatric patients still need attention.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess trends in the relative use of dialysis modalities in the hospital-based pediatric cohort and to determine risk factors associated with in-hospital morality among pediatric patients receiving dialysis for acute kidney injury (AKI). Patients aged < 20 years who received dialysis between 2010 and 2017 were identified from electronic health records databases of a Taiwan's healthcare delivery system. The annual uses of intermittent hemodialysis (HD), continuous and automated peritoneal dialysis (PD) and continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) were assessed using Cochran-Armitage Tests for trend. Among patients who received their first dialysis as inpatients for AKI, a multivariate logistic regression model was employed to assess mortality risks associated with dialysis modalities, patient demographics, complexity of baseline chronic disease, and healthcare service use during their hospital stays. Kidney dialysis was performed 37.9 per patient per year over the study period. Intermittent hemodialysis (HD) (73.3%) was the most frequently used dialysis modality. In the inpatient setting, the relative annual use of CKRT increased over the study period, while HD use concomitantly declined (P < 0.0001). The overall in-hospital mortality rate after dialysis for AKI was 33.6%, which remained steady over time (P = 0.2411). Patients aged < 2 years [adjusted odds ratio: (aOR) 3.36; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.34-8.93] and greater vasoactive regimen use (aOR: 17.1; 95% CI: 5.3-55.21) were significantly associated with dialysis-related mortality. Overall treatment modality used for dialysis in pediatric patients increased slowly in the study period, and HD and CRKT modality uses largely evolved in the inpatient setting. Younger ages and use of more vasoactive medication regimens were independently associated with increased early mortality in patients on AKI-dialysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to provide an updated review of survival for pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy as well as characterize the demographics, clinical variables, and complications associated with mortality. DESIGN Retrospective database review of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry from 1990 to 2019. SETTING Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation centers reporting to Extracorporeal Life Support Organization. PATIENTS Patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation greater than 28 days to 18 years old with International Classification of Diseases Ninth Revision, International Classification of Diseases Tenth Revision, and current procedural terminology codes consistent with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were included. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Demographics, year of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation run, clinical variables, comorbid diagnoses, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation complications were assessed in relation to the primary study outcome of survival to hospital discharge. Ninety patients were included in the final analysis. The overall survival rate for the study period was 19%. However, the survival rate in the last decade (2010-2019) improved to 26% (p = 0.01; odds ratio 9.4 [1.2-74.8]). Factors associated with decreased survival included comorbid malignancy, elevated peak inspiratory pressure in conventionally ventilated patients, and pulmonary and metabolic complications on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric patients posthematopoietic stem cell transplantation supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have improving survival rates over time. With 26% of patients (16/62) surviving to hospital discharge in the last decade (2010-2019), history of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may no longer be considered an absolute contraindication to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. As advancements are made in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation therapies and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation management, the indications for life-saving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support among patients posthematopoietic stem cell transplantation may expand accordingly.

Abstract
Background Fluid overload is related to the development and prognosis of cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (CSA-AKI). The study is to investigate the influence of serum creatinine (SCr) corrected by fluid balance on the prognosis of patients with cardiac surgery. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 1334 patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery from January 1 to December 31, 2015. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria for AKI were applied to identify CSA-AKI. SCr was measured every 24 h during ICU period and was accordingly adjusted for cumulative fluid balance. Changes in SCr, defined as ∆Crea, were determined by difference between before and after adjustment for cumulative fluid balance. All patients were then divided into three groups: underestimation group (∆Crea ≥ P75), normal group (P25 < ∆Crea < P75) and overestimation group (∆Crea ≤ P25). Results The incidence of AKI increased from 29.5% to 31.8% after adjustment for fluid balance. Patients in underestimation group showed prolonged length of ICU stay compared with normal group and overestimation group (3.2 [1.0–4.0] vs 2.1 [1.0–3.0] d, P < 0.001; 3.2 [1.0–4.0] vs 2.3 [1.0–3.0] d, P < 0.001). Length of hospital stay and mechanical ventilation dependent days in underestimation group were significantly longer than normal group (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed age, baseline SCr and left ventricular ejection fraction were independently associated with underestimation of creatinine. Conclusions Cumulative fluid balance after cardiac surgery disturbs accurate measurement of serum creatinine. Patients with underestimation of SCr were associated with poor prognosis.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome that manifests as an abrupt impairment of kidney function. AKI is common in critically ill pediatric patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care units. AKI is a deleterious complication in critically ill children as it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This review provides an overview of the incidence, morbidity, and mortality of AKI in critically ill children in general and specific cohorts such as post-cardiac surgeries, sepsis, critically ill neonates, and post stem cell transplantation.

Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in Critically Ill Children in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: A Retrospective Analysis of Real-Life Prescriptions, Complications, and Outcomes. Front Pediatr 2021; 9:696798. [PMID: 34195164 PMCID: PMC8236631 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2021.696798] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2021] [Accepted: 05/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Severe acute kidney injury is a common finding in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), however, Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) is rarely applied in this setting. This study aims to describe our experience in the rate of application of CRRT, patients' clinical characteristics at admission and CRRT initiation, CRRT prescription, predictors of circuit clotting, short- and long-term outcomes. Methods: A 6-year single center retrospective study in a tertiary PICU. Results: Twenty-eight critically ill patients aged 0 to 18 years received CRRT between January 2012 and December 2017 (1.4% of all patients admitted to PICU). Complete clinical and CRRT technical information were available for 23/28 patients for a total of 101 CRRT sessions. CRRT was started, on average, 40 h (20-160) after PICU admission, mostly because of fluid overload. Continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration and systemic heparinization were applied in 83.2 and 71.3% of sessions, respectively. Fifty-nine sessions (58.4%) were complicated by circuit clotting. At multivariate Cox-regression analysis, vascular access caliber larger than 8 Fr [HR 0.37 (0.19-0.72), p = 0.004] and regional citrate anticoagulation strategy [HR 0.14 (0.03-0.60), p = 0.008] were independent protective factors for clotting. PICU mortality rate was 42.8%, and six survivors developed chronic kidney disease (CKD), within an average follow up of 3.5 years. Conclusions: CRRT is uncommonly applied in our PICU, mostly within 2 days after admission and because of fluid overload. Larger vascular access and citrate anticoagulation are independent protective factors for circuit clotting. Patients' PICU mortality rate is high and survival often complicated by CKD development.

Abstract
Purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of early fluid accumulation and renal dysfunction on mortality in children receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Retrospective cohort study of neonatal and pediatric patients who received ECMO between January 2010 and December 2012 in a tertiary level multidisciplinary pediatric intensive care unit (ICU). Ninety-six patients were included, and forty-six (48%) of them received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) during ECMO. Overall mortality was 38.5%. Proportion of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) at ICU admission was 33% and increased to 47% at ECMO initiation. High-risk diagnoses, extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR), and venoarterial (VA)-ECMO were more common among nonsurvivors. Nonsurvivors had significantly higher proportion of AKI at ICU admission (OR: 2.59, p = 0.04) and fluid accumulation on ECMO day 1 (9% vs. 1%, p = 0.05) compared with survivors. Multivariable logistic regression analysis (adjusted for a propensity score based on nonrenal factors associated with increased mortality) demonstrated that fluid accumulation on ECMO day 1 is significantly associated with increased ICU mortality (OR: 1.07, p = 0.04). Fluid accumulation within the first 24 hours after ECMO cannulation is significantly associated with increased ICU mortality in neonatal and pediatric patients. Prospective studies evaluating the impact of conservative fluid management and CRRT during the initial phase of ECMO may help further define this relationship.

Abstract
Though commonly used for adjustment of risk, severity of illness and mortality risk prediction scores, based on the first 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, have not been validated in the pediatric extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) population. We aimed to determine the association of Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (PIM2), Pediatric Risk of Mortality Score III (PRISM III) and Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction (PELOD) scores with mortality in pediatric patients on ECMO. This was a retrospective cohort study of children ≤18 years of age included in the Pediatric ECMO Outcomes Registry (PEDECOR) from 2014 to 2018. Logistic regression and Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves were used to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) to evaluate association of mortality with the scores. Of the 655 cases, 289 (44.1%) did not survive until hospital discharge. AUCs for PIM2, PRISM III, and PELOD predicting mortality were 0.52, 0.52, and 0.51 respectively. PIM2, PRISM III, and PELOD scores are not associated with odds of mortality for pediatric patients receiving ECMO. These scores for a general pediatric ICU population should not be used for prognostication or risk stratification of a select population such as ECMO patients.

Respiration 2020; 99:1-102. [PMID: 33302267 DOI: 10.1159/000510085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2020] [Accepted: 07/09/2020] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential part of modern intensive care medicine. MV is performed in patients with severe respiratory failure caused by respiratory muscle insufficiency and/or lung parenchymal disease; that is, when other treatments such as medication, oxygen administration, secretion management, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), or nasal high-flow therapy have failed. MV is required for maintaining gas exchange and allows more time to curatively treat the underlying cause of respiratory failure. In the majority of ventilated patients, liberation or "weaning" from MV is routine, without the occurrence of any major problems. However, approximately 20% of patients require ongoing MV, despite amelioration of the conditions that precipitated the need for it in the first place. Approximately 40-50% of the time spent on MV is required to liberate the patient from the ventilator, a process called "weaning". In addition to acute respiratory failure, numerous factors can influence the duration and success rate of the weaning process; these include age, comorbidities, and conditions and complications acquired during the ICU stay. According to international consensus, "prolonged weaning" is defined as the weaning process in patients who have failed at least 3 weaning attempts, or require more than 7 days of weaning after the first spontaneous breathing trial (SBT). Given that prolonged weaning is a complex process, an interdisciplinary approach is essential for it to be successful. In specialised weaning centres, approximately 50% of patients with initial weaning failure can be liberated from MV after prolonged weaning. However, the heterogeneity of patients undergoing prolonged weaning precludes the direct comparison of individual centres. Patients with persistent weaning failure either die during the weaning process, or are discharged back to their home or to a long-term care facility with ongoing MV. Urged by the growing importance of prolonged weaning, this Sk2 Guideline was first published in 2014 as an initiative of the German Respiratory Society (DGP), in conjunction with other scientific societies involved in prolonged weaning. The emergence of new research, clinical study findings and registry data, as well as the accumulation of experience in daily practice, have made the revision of this guideline necessary. The following topics are dealt with in the present guideline: Definitions, epidemiology, weaning categories, underlying pathophysiology, prevention of prolonged weaning, treatment strategies in prolonged weaning, the weaning unit, discharge from hospital on MV, and recommendations for end-of-life decisions. Special emphasis was placed on the following themes: (1) A new classification of patient sub-groups in prolonged weaning. (2) Important aspects of pulmonary rehabilitation and neurorehabilitation in prolonged weaning. (3) Infrastructure and process organisation in the care of patients in prolonged weaning based on a continuous treatment concept. (4) Changes in therapeutic goals and communication with relatives. Aspects of paediatric weaning are addressed separately within individual chapters. The main aim of the revised guideline was to summarize both current evidence and expert-based knowledge on the topic of "prolonged weaning", and to use this information as a foundation for formulating recommendations related to "prolonged weaning", not only in acute medicine but also in the field of chronic intensive care medicine. The following professionals served as important addressees for this guideline: intensivists, pulmonary medicine specialists, anaesthesiologists, internists, cardiologists, surgeons, neurologists, paediatricians, geriatricians, palliative care clinicians, rehabilitation physicians, intensive/chronic care nurses, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists, speech therapists, medical service of health insurance, and associated ventilator manufacturers.

Abstract
Sedatives and analgesics are often administered to critically ill children supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to facilitate comfort and to decrease risks of life-threatening complications. Optimization of sedative and analgesic dosing is necessary to achieve desired therapeutic benefits and must consider interactions between the circuit and patient that may affect drug metabolism, clearance, and impact on target organs. This paper reviews existing in vitro and pediatric in vivo literature concerning the effects of the ECMO circuit on sedative and analgesic disposition and offers dosing guidance for the management of critically ill children receiving these drugs.

Abstract
This study seeks to evaluate the association between acute kidney injury (AKI), fluid overload (FO), and mortality in children supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for refractory respiratory failure. This retrospective observational cohort study was performed at six tertiary care children's hospital intensive care units, studying 424 patients < 18 years of age supported with ECMO for ≥ 24 hours for a respiratory indication from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2011. In a multivariate analysis, FO level at ECMO initiation was not associated with hospital mortality, whereas peak FO level during ECMO was associated with hospital mortality. For every 10% increase in peak FO during ECMO, the odds of hospital mortality were approximately 1.2 times higher. Every 10% increase in peak FO during ECMO resulted in a significant relative change in the duration of ECMO hours by a factor of 1.08. For hospital survivors, every 10% increase in peak FO level during ECMO resulted in a significant relative change in the duration of mechanical ventilation hours by a factor of 1.13. In this patient population, AKI and FO are associated with increased mortality and should be considered targets for medical interventions including judicious fluid management, diuretic use, and renal replacement therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Fluid overload is common in the PICU and has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It remains unclear whether fluid overload is a surrogate marker for severity of illness and need for increased support, an iatrogenic modifiable risk factor, or a sign of oliguria. The proportions of various fluid intake contributing to fluid overload and its recognition have not been adequately examined. We aimed to: 1) describe the types and amounts of fluid exposure in the PICU and 2) identify the clinicians' recognition of fluid overload. SETTING Noncardiac PICU in a quaternary care hospital. PATIENTS Pediatric patients admitted for more than 24 hours. DESIGN Prospective observational study over 28 days. INTERVENTIONS Data were collected on the amount and type of fluid exposure-resuscitative boluses, blood products, enteral intake, parenteral nutrition (total parenteral nutrition), or modifiable fluids (IV fluids and medications) indexed to the patients' admission body surface area on days 1 and 3. Charts of patients admitted for 3 days who developed 15% fluid overload were reviewed to assess clinicians' recognition of fluid overload. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS One hundred two patients were included. Day 1 median fluid exposure was 2,318 mL/m (1,831-3,037 mL/m; 1,646 mL/m [1,296-2,086 mL/m] modifiable fluids). Forty-seven patients (46%) received fluid boluses, and 16 (16%) received blood products. Day 3 median fluid exposure was 2,233 mL/m (1,904-2,556 mL/m; 750 mL/m [375-1,816 mL/m] modifiable fluids). Of the 54 patients, one patient (1.9%) received a fluid bolus and two (3.7%) received blood products. In our cohort, 47 of 54 (87%) had fluid exposure greater than 1,600 mL/m on day 3. Fluid overload was not recognized by the clinicians in 30% of the patients who developed more than 15% fluid overload. CONCLUSIONS Although resuscitation fluids contributed more to fluid exposure on day 1 compared with day 3, fluid exposure frequently exceeded maintenance requirements on day 3. Fluid overload was not always recognized by PICU practitioners. Further studies to correlate modifiable fluid exposure to fluid overload and explore modifiable practice improvement opportunities are needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Paralleling improved outcomes in critically ill patients, survival for pediatric acute kidney injury has improved. Continuous renal replacement therapy is the preferred modality to optimize fluid and electrolyte management as well as nutritional support for children developing acute kidney injury in the PICU. However, some patients remain too fragile for transition to intermittent renal replacement therapies and require continuous renal replacement therapy for a prolonged period. Characteristics of this cohort and factors impacting outcomes are not well known. We aimed to describe the characteristics of pediatric patients requiring prolonged continuous renal replacement therapy and evaluate the factors impacting hospital survival. DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary PICU. PATIENTS Children requiring prolonged continuous renal replacement therapy. Prolonged continuous renal replacement therapy was defined as continuous renal replacement therapy dependence greater than or equal to 28 days. Primary outcome was hospital mortality. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS From 2013 to 2016, 344 patients received continuous renal replacement therapy, 36 (10%) received continuous renal replacement therapy for greater than or equal to 28 days. Seventeen patients (47%) were female. Overall mortality was 44% (16/36); 69% (11/16) of nonsurvivors died of sepsis. Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction score was significantly higher in nonsurvivors. Mortality rate was significantly higher in patients who were neutropenic at continuous renal replacement therapy start. Neutropenia (defined as absolute neutrophil count < 1,500/mm) at continuous renal replacement therapy start was the only independent predictor of mortality. One in four survivors did not recover renal function and remained dialysis dependent. CONCLUSIONS Prolonged continuous renal replacement therapy patients are at high risk of nonrecovery of renal function and require close monitoring. The majority of nonsurvivors in the study group died from sepsis. Neutropenia at continuous renal replacement therapy initiation was associated with increased risk of mortality. Progression of underlying disease process could explain the higher death rate in patients with neutropenia; however, inadequate treatment of infectious complications could be another explanation to explore further in future studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to characterize continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) utilization on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and to determine the association of both fluid overload (FO) at CRRT initiation and fluid removal during CRRT with mortality in a large multicenter cohort. METHODS Retrospective chart review of all children < 18 years of age concurrently treated with ECMO and CRRT from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2011, at six tertiary care children's hospital. Children treated with hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis were excluded from the FO analysis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS A total of 756 of the 1009 children supported with ECMO during the study period had complete FO data. Of these, 357 (47.2%) received either CRRT or were treated with an in-line filter and thus entered into the final analysis. Survival to ECMO decannulation was 66.4% and survival to hospital discharge was 44.3%. CRRT initiation occurred at median of 1 day (IQR 0, 2) after ECMO initiation. Median FO at CRRT initiation was 20.1% (IQR 5, 40) and was significantly lower in ECMO survivors vs. non-survivors (15.3% vs. 30.5% p = 0.005) and in hospital survivors vs. non-survivors (13.5% vs. 25.9%, p = 0.004). Median FO at CRRT discontinuation was significantly lower in ECMO survivors (23% vs. 37.6% p = 0.002) and hospital survivors vs. non-survivors (22.6% vs. 36.1%, p = 0.002). In ECMO survivors, after adjusting for pH at CRRT initiation, non-renal complications, ECMO mode, support type, center, patient age and AKI, FO at CRRT initiation (p = 0.01), and FO at CRRT discontinuation (p = 0.0002) were independently associated with duration of ECMO. In a similar multivariable analysis, FO at CRRT initiation (adjusted adds ratio [aOR] 1.09, 95% CI 1.00-1.18, p = 0.045) and at CRRT discontinuation (aOR 1.11, 95% CI 1.03-1.19, p = 0.01) were independently associated with hospital mortality. CONCLUSIONS In a multicenter pediatric ECMO cohort, this study demonstrates that severe FO was very common at CRRT initiation. We found an independent association between the degree of FO at CRRT initiation with adverse outcomes including mortality and increased duration of ECMO support. The results suggest that intervening prior to the development of significant FO may be a clinical therapeutic target and warrants further evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sepsis has always been a challenge in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with poor prognosis. In order to evaluate the effect between routine continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and high-volume hemofiltration (HVHF) in children with sepsis, we performed out this prospective, randomized, controlled, open-label trial. METHODS Forty-seven children with sepsis were enrolled from January 2015 to December 2016. Twenty-two patients in Control group received routine CRRT and 25 patients in HVHF group received HVHF within 6 hours after the diagnosis of sepsis. The oxygenation index, serum creatinine, urea, lactate, inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α), pediatric risk of mortality III (PRISM III) and 28-day mortality rate were collected and compared. RESULTS The oxygenation index in HVHF group and Control group was significantly increased at 48 hours (P<0.01) and 72 hours after treatment (P<0.05). The same result of arterial lactate was observed. Serum creatinine, urea, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and PRISM III score were significantly ameliorated after 72 hours treatment in HVHF group (P<0.01), while there was no significant difference in Control group. After 72 hours of treatment, the oxygenation index, lactate, serum creatinine, urea, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10 and PRISM III score in HVHF group were significantly improved compared with Control group (P<0.01). There is no significant difference on 28-day mortality between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS HVHF might be an effective treatment for children with sepsis.

Changes in Serum Creatinine Levels and Natural Evolution of Acute Kidney Injury with Conservative Management of Hemodynamically Significant Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Extremely Preterm Infants at 23-26 Weeks of Gestation. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9030699. [PMID: 32143511 PMCID: PMC7141372 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9030699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2020] [Revised: 02/28/2020] [Accepted: 02/29/2020] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Changes in kidney function in extremely preterm infants (EPT) with conservatively managed hemodynamically significant (HS) patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are not known well. We aimed to present the postnatal course in serum creatinine levels (sCr), prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI), then relevance between AKI and adverse outcomes in EPT with conservatively managed HS PDA. By review of medical records, we analyzed the postnatal course of sCr and prevalence of stage 3 AKI defined by the modified Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) in EPT at gestational age of 23 to 26 weeks with conservatively treated HS PDA. We investigated if the presence and/or prolonged duration of stage 3 AKI elevated the risk of adverse outcomes. The results showed that, neither factor was associated with adverse outcomes. While the average PDA closure date was at postnatal day (P) 41 and 53, sCr peaked at P 10 and 14 and the cumulative prevalence of stage 3 AKI was 57% and 72% in the EPT of 25–26 and 23–24 weeks’ gestation, respectively. The high prevalence of stage 3 AKI without adverse outcomes in EPT with conservatively managed HS PDA suggests that it might reflect renal immaturity rather than pathologic conditions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapies (PIRRT) have emerged as cost-effective alternatives to conventional CRRT and their use in the pediatric population has started to become more prominent. However, there is a lack of consensus guidelines on the use of PIRRT in pediatric patients in an intensive care setting. METHODS A literature search was performed on PubMed/Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar in conjunction with medical librarians from both India and the Cleveland Clinic hospital system to find relevant articles. The Pediatric Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy workgroup analyzed all articles for relevancy, proposed recommendations, and graded each recommendation for their strength of evidence. RESULTS Of the 60 studies eligible for review, the workgroup considered data from 37 studies to formulate guidelines for the use of PIRRT in children. The guidelines focused on the definition, indications, machines, and prescription of PIRRT. CONCLUSION Although the literature on the use of PIRRT in children is limited, the current studies give credence to their benefits and these expert recommendations are a valuable first step in the continued study of PIRRT in the pediatric population.

Assessment of the Independent and Synergistic Effects of Fluid Overload and Acute Kidney Injury on Outcomes of Critically Ill Children. Pediatr Crit Care Med 2020; 21:170-177. [PMID: 31568240 PMCID: PMC7007847 DOI: 10.1097/pcc.0000000000002107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 42] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluate the independent and synergistic associations of fluid overload and acute kidney injury with outcome in critically ill pediatric patients. DESIGN Secondary analysis of the Acute Kidney Injury in Children Expected by Renal Angina and Urinary Biomarkers (NCT01735162) prospective observational study. SETTING Single-center quaternary level PICU. PATIENTS One-hundred forty-nine children 3 months to 25 years old with predicted PICU length of stay greater than 48 hours, and an indwelling urinary catheter enrolled (September 2012 to March 2014). Acute kidney injury (defined by creatinine or urine output on day 3) and fluid overload (≥ 20% on day 3) were used as outcome variables and risk factors for ICU endpoints assessed at 28 days. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Acute kidney injury and fluid overload occurred in 19.4% and 24.2% respectively. Both acute kidney injury and fluid overload were associated with longer ICU length of stay but neither maintained significance after multivariate regression. Delineation into unique fluid overload/acute kidney injury classifications demonstrated that fluid overload patients experienced a longer ICU and hospital length of stay and higher rate of mortality compared with fluid overload patients, regardless of acute kidney injury status. Fluid overload/acute kidney injury patients had increased odds of death (p = 0.013). After correction for severity of illness, ICU length of stay remained significantly longer in fluid overload/acute kidney injury patients compared with patients without both classifications (17.4; 95% CI, 11.0-23.7 vs 8.8; 95% CI, 7.3-10.9; p = 0.05). Correction of acute kidney injury classification for net fluid balance led to acute kidney injury class switching in 29 patients and strengthened the association with increased mechanical ventilation and ICU length of stay on bivariate analysis, but reduced the increased risk conferred by fluid overload for mortality. CONCLUSIONS The current study suggests the effects of significant fluid accumulation may be delineable from the effects of acute kidney injury. Concurrent fluid overload and acute kidney injury significantly worsen outcome. Correction of acute kidney injury assessment for net fluid balance may refine diagnosis and unmask acute kidney injury associated with deleterious downstream sequelae. The unique effects of fluid overload and acute kidney injury on outcome in critically ill patients warrant further study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pediatric traumatic brain injury is a major public health problem in the United States. Hypertonic saline therapy is a well-established treatment in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 8) who have intracranial hypertension. In children, fluid overload is associated with increased mortality, ventilator duration, and length of PICU stay, even when controlling for severity of illness. This study reports prevalence of fluid overload in pediatric patients with severe traumatic brain injury treated with 3% hypertonic saline and effect on clinical outcomes. DESIGN Single-center retrospective chart review. SETTING PICUs at two tertiary children's hospitals. PATIENTS One hundred thirty-eight patients with traumatic brain injury with postresuscitation Glasgow Coma Scale less than or equal to 8 who received hypertonic saline from September 1, 2010, to February 28, 2016, and intracranial pressure monitoring and survived at least 24 hours from admission. INTERVENTIONS None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We used fluid balance percentage greater than or equal to 10% as our definition of fluid overload. Ninety-one percent of patients less than 1 year old had fluid overload on day 10 of admission compared with 47% of patients greater than 1 year. Fluid overloaded patients did not have increased mortality, acute kidney injury, PICU length of stay, or ventilator days. Hypertonic saline was not the cause of fluid overload in these patients. CONCLUSIONS Patients with severe traumatic brain injury do have high rates of fluid overload. However, fluid overload did not contribute to mortality, longer days on the ventilator, increased risk of acute kidney injury, or increased PICU length of stay.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the epidemiology of fluid balance (FB) over the first postnatal week and its impact on outcomes in a multi-center cohort of premature neonates from the AWAKEN study. METHODS Retrospective analysis of infants <36 weeks' gestational age from the AWAKEN study (N = 1007). FB was defined by percentage of change from birth weight. OUTCOME Mechanical ventilation (MV) at postnatal day 7. RESULTS One hundred and forty-nine (14.8%) were on MV at postnatal day 7. The median peak FB was 0% (IQR: -2.9, 2) and occurred on postnatal day 2 (IQR: 1,5). Multivariable models showed that the peak FB (aOR 1.14, 95% CI 1.10-1.19), lowest FB in first postnatal week (aOR 1.12, 95% CI 1.07-1.16), and FB on postnatal day 7 (aOR 1.10, 95% CI 1.06-1.13) were independently associated with MV on postnatal day 7. In a similar analysis, a negative FB at postnatal day 7 protected against the need for MV at postnatal day 7 (aOR 0.21, 95% CI 0.12-0.35). CONCLUSIONS Positive peak FB during the first postnatal week and more positive FB on postnatal day 7 were independently associated with MV at postnatal day 7. Those with a negative FB at postnatal day 7 were less likely to require MV.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Fluid bolus therapy (FBT) is recommended as the initial form of acute circulatory support for many disease processes. The epidemiology of its use in the ED is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess indications, use patterns and short-term effects of FBT in a paediatric ED. METHODS Retrospective observational study in the ED of the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia (annual census >90 000) using hospital electronic medical record data for all patients who received an i.v. fluid bolus in the ED over the calendar year 2018 were included in the study. We extracted demographics, indications, volume, content of FBT as well as subsequent vital sign and biochemical changes. RESULTS One thousand five hundred and thirty-nine fluid boluses were administered to 1343/90 000 children (1.5%), 1185 received 1, 123 received 2, 32 received 3, and 3 received 4 boluses. Fluid bolus volume of 10 mL/kg was used in 45.3%, 20 mL/kg in 35.7%, 500 mL in 6.4% and 1000 mL in 7.1%. The fluid content was 0.9% saline in 99.9% of cases. The most common indications for FBT were: vomiting/diarrhoea (23%), acute febrile illness (11%) and pneumonia or sepsis (10% each). FBT was associated with a reduction in median heart rate by 6 beats per minute (P < 0.01), reduction in mean blood pressure by 3 mmHg (P < 0.01), and reduction in venous lactate by 0.2 mmol/L (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Fluid bolus therapy is a commonly used intervention in the paediatric ED, most often for dehydration. Variability in indications, dose and effects of FBT warrant further exploration.
