    Abstract We describe two adolescents (13 and 16 years old) with severe tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and vaccination breakthrough (VBT). Both suffer from severe persistent neurologic sequelae. Both patients had high TBE-IgG-titers after vaccination at the beginning of the infection and a low or missing TBE-IgM response (Type 2 vaccine failure). Neutralization tests show low titers against the respective infecting TBE virus strain and higher titers against the vaccine strain at the beginning of the infection implying an individual weak or impaired immune response to the respective virus as possible cause of TBE vaccine failure. We do not know of any similar observation or explanation for the phenomenon and at the moment can only speculate of a severe course correlated to highly mismatched IgG. This constellation of high TBE IgGs, the lack of immune response and a severe course strongly resembles the severe TBE courses that occurred in the past after TBE immunoglobulin administration. To our knowledge differentiation between structural and functional antibodies by neutralization tests with a) the affecting TBE virus strain and b) the vaccine virus strain in TBE vaccine failures has never been described before. We conclude (1) to consider a TBE virus infection also in vaccinated children presenting with meningoencephalitis, (2) to perform a broad immunological work-up in severe TBE especially after VBT, (3) to further study if high mismatch IgG's are a possible reason for vaccine failure.

    Abstract Background: Atelectasis during general anesthesia is a risk for perioperative complications. EIT measurements were performed in mechanically ventilated healthy children during elective surgery to demonstrate the changes in ventilation distribution during general anesthesia. The ventilation distribution was quantified by calculating the Global Inhomogeneity index (GI).
    Methods: EIT measurements were performed in 23 children (9 weeks-10 years) without lung disease to detect changes in regional ventilation during elective surgery. Three previously defined time points were marked during the measurement: after intubation and start of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV), change to pressure support ventilation (PSV), and after extubation (spontaneous breathing-SB). Ventilation distribution based on regions of interest (ROI) and changes in end-expiratory volume (∆EELV) were collected at these time points and compared. The Global Inhomogeneity index was calculated at the beginning of pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV).
    Results: With increasing spontaneous breathing, dorsal recruitment of atelectasis occurred. The dorsal ventilation fraction increased over the time of general anesthesia with increasing spontaneous breathing, whereas the ventral fraction decreased relatively (Difference ± 5.5 percentage points respectively; 95% CI; 3.5-7.4; p < 0.001). With the onset of spontaneous breathing, there was a significant reduction in end-expiratory volume (Difference: 105 ml; 95% CI, 75-135; p < 0.001). The GI of the lung-healthy ventilated children is 47% (SD ± 4%).
    Conclusion: Controlled ventilation of healthy children resulted in increased ventilation of the ventral and collapse of the dorsal lung areas. Restart of spontaneous breathing after cessation of surgery resulted in an increase in ventilation in the dorsal with decrease in the ventral lung areas. By calculating the GI, representing the ratio of more to less ventilated lung areas, revealed the presumed homogeneous distribution of ventilation.

    Abstract In dieser Studie wurden Flug- und Bodenrettungseinsätze bei pädiatrischen Patienten in einer alpinen Region verglichen. Untersucht wurden Diagnosen, Einsatzzeiten, Interventionen, Schweregrade sowie Follow-up-Daten.
    Ergebnisse: 1) Beobachtet wurden 2 Altersgipfel, 0 – 2 Jahre und 13 – 15 Jahre; 2) chirurgische Notfälle waren häufiger in der Flugrettung, internistische und neurologische Notfälle sowie Intoxikationen zeigten keinen Unterschied; 3) Anfahrt- und Transportzeiten waren in der Bodenrettung signifikant kürzer, die Behandlungsdauer vor Ort war gleich; 4) über 20% aller Patienten hatten NACA-Werte von 1 oder 2, die den Notarzteinsatz nicht rechtfertigen; 5) über 50% der Patienten in der Flugrettung hatten nur einen NACA-Wert (NACA: National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) von 3; und 6) knapp ein Drittel aller Patienten wurden bereits am Aufnahmetag wieder entlassen. In der retrospektiven Betrachtung erscheint der Anteil der Übertriagierung damit hoch. Möglichkeiten einer verbesserten Triagierung könnten ein genaueres Abfragen des Meldebildes, verbesserte Kommunikation mit den bereits eingetroffenen Rettungskräften und Telemedizin zwischen Leitstelle und Einsatzort sein.

    Abstract Objective: This study's objective was to assess an antibiotic stewardship intervention, compare pediatric antibiotic usage in a non-university hospital (Children's Hospital Traunstein [TS]) with a university hospital (Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital, Ludwig Maximilians University Munich [MUC]), and assess adherence to national guidelines.
    Methods: Antibiotic usage pre- and post-antibiotic stewardship (ABS) intervention was compared, and antibiotic prescriptions over 4 months were prospectively recorded. ABS intervention consisted of weekly teaching sessions, antibiotic pocket cards, and rounds with pediatric infectious disease staff. Medical records were reviewed to describe antibiotic consumption, antibiotic dosages and length of use, and adherence to national guidelines. Pediatric antibiotic usage was compared between hospitals and patient groups.
    Results: After the ABS intervention, the use of second-generation cephalosporins decreased, while penicillin with β-lactamase inhibitors (BLI) increased. Survey of antibiotic prescriptions over the 4 months study period in the non-university hospital showed a high administration rate of second-generation cephalosporins and extended-spectrum penicillins in the non-intensive care units (ICU) wards (48.53 and 38.93 days of therapy [DoT]/1,000 patient days [PD], respectively) and a high rate of third-generation cephalosporins in the ICU ward (110.33 DoT/1,000PD). A high prescriptions rate was seen in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) wards (DoT/ length of therapy [LoT] ratio of 2.185). Reserve group antibiotics were only given in the ICU. Adherence to national guidelines was highest in the NICU and pediatric ICU wards. Striking was the relatively high rate of incorrect usage of second-generation cephalosporins. Comparing the pediatric wards of the non-university hospital (TS) and the university hospital (MUC), the prescription ratio was 11.1% (TS) versus 30.6% (MUC), and DoT/1,000PD 198.9 (TS) versus 483.6 (MUC), p  = 0.02. ABS intervention changed the choice of described antibiotics, but not the overall frequency.
    Conclusion: Adherence to national guidelines was highest in fields with standardized therapy recommendations, like in the NICU. In MUC, antibiotics, in particular restricted ones, were prescribed more frequently, probably due to higher severity of illness. These data indicate that the usage of antibiotics and adherence to national guidelines show a wide variety, but ABS interventions were effective in changing prescription behavior.

    Abstract Objectives: To provide proof-of-concept for a protocol applying a strategy of personalized mechanical ventilation in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Positive end-expiratory pressure and inspiratory pressure settings were optimized using real-time electrical impedance tomography aiming to maximize lung recruitment while minimizing lung overdistension.
    Design: Prospective interventional trial.
    Setting: Two PICUs.
    Patients: Eight children with early acute respiratory distress syndrome (< 72 hr).
    Interventions: On 3 consecutive days, electrical impedance tomography-guided positive end-expiratory pressure titration was performed by using regional compliance analysis. The Acute Respiratory Distress Network high/low positive end-expiratory pressure tables were used as patient's safety guardrails. Driving pressure was maintained constant. Algorithm includes the following: 1) recruitment of atelectasis: increasing positive end-expiratory pressure in steps of 4 mbar; 2) reduction of overdistension: decreasing positive end-expiratory pressure in steps of 2 mbar until electrical impedance tomography shows collapse; and 3) maintaining current positive end-expiratory pressure and check regional compliance every hour. In case of derecruitment start at step 1.
    Measurements and main results: Lung areas classified by electrical impedance tomography as collapsed or overdistended were changed on average by -9.1% (95% CI, -13.7 to -4.4;
    Conclusions: Electrical impedance tomography-guided positive end-expiratory pressure titration reduced regional lung collapse without significant increase of overdistension, while improving global compliance and gas exchange in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome.
