    Abstract Abstract: Central venous catheters are commonly used in emergency department and the intensive care units for the treatment of critically ill patients. Reports on the rate of mechanical complications of catheter insertion are around 1%. Mechanical complications related with the insertion of the catheter mainly depend on the anatomic location, the use of ultrasound, and experience of the operator. The rate of complication is higher in places where central lines are not routinely inserted as in emergency department. Here, we report a case series of 4 patients who had life-threatening complications of central venous catheter insertion, including venous intimal injury leading to pleural effusion, kinked central venous catheter in the superior vena cava, knotted guidewire with the separation of coil and core, and a missed guidewire with their respective insertion history and imaging. Increasing the awareness of and developing strategies to prevent these rare but potentially fatal conditions may have impact on patient outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Antimicrobials, especially antibiotics, are among the most widely used drugs in the pediatric intensive care unit. Pediatrics patients in intensive care unit are exposed to potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) and suffered from their adverse and side effects. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of antimicrobial use on PDDIs, as well as to examine the rate and the risk factors PDDIs, furthermore the management of PDDIs.
    Methods: The present retrospective cohort study included 179 patients under 18 years of age who were hospitalized in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Turkey. Drug interactions were evaluated using the Lexicomp® drug interaction tool which provides evidence-based drug information.
    Results: Our study results showed that the frequency of the use of antimicrobial drugs (antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral) was found to be statistically significantly higher (p<0.05) in the group with PDDIs compared to the group without PDDIs. Especially, the use of carbapenem, cephalosporin among the antibiotic groups significantly increased the frequency of PDDIs (p<0.05). While the probability PDDIs statistically significantly increased 3.73 times (OR (Odds Ratio) =3.73; 95% CI= 1.47-9.50) in patients who used a single antibiotic compared to patients who did not use antibiotics (p=0.006), the probability of the occurrence of PDDIs by using more than one antibiotic was statistically significantly 8.5 times (95% CI =3.30-21.89) (p <0.001).
    Conclusions: Our study results showed that the use of antimicrobial drugs (antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral) was found to be statistically significantly higher (p<0.05) in the group with PDDIs.

    Abstract Renal artery stenosis is one of the common vascular diseases that cause hypertension in children. However, renal artery aneurysms and abdominal aortic aneurysms, which may be components of mid-aortic syndrome, are rarely associated with renal artery stenosis. Despite its rarity, early diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent fatal complications. Currently, non-surgical invasive techniques are considered the first choice for treatment, but in some cases, surgery is inevitable. Here, we present a 5-year-old boy with a mid-aortic syndrome. The patient presented with a history of severe headache and epistaxis 5-6 times a day and was diagnosed with hypertension. A 9 × 9 mm saccular aneurysm on the anterior surface of the abdominal aorta at the level of the left renal artery ostium, and a 12 mm aneurysm in the left renal artery after a stenotic segment at the hilum level was detected in the doppler USG and contrast-enhanced imaging techniques. The patient was operated on electively. We used a PTFE patch to repair the abdominal aorta and, saphenous vein which was taken from his father to repair the renal artery. The patient recovered well and was discharged on the 18th day.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine the prevalence and time course of thiamine deficiency (TD) in PICU patients.
    Design: Multicenter, prospective, cohort study between May 2019 and November 2019.
    Setting: Three university-based tertiary care, mixed medical-surgical PICUs in Ankara, Turkey.
    Patients: PICU patients 1 month to 18 years old.
    Interventions: None.
    Measurements and main results: We studied 476 patients and grouped them by TD status on days 1 and 3 of the PICU admission. There might be a risk of unintended bias since we excluded 386 patients because of the absence of consent, inadequate blood samples, loss of identifier information, and recent vitamin supplementation. On day 1, TD was present in 53 of 476 patients (11.1%) and median (minimum-maximum) thiamine levels were 65.5 ng/mL (5-431 ng/mL). On day 3, TD was present in 27 of 199 patients (13.6%) with repeated measurement. The median (minimum-maximum) thiamine levels were 63 ng/mL (13-357 ng/mL). The time course of TD from day 1 to day 3 in these 199 patients was as follows. In 21 of 199 patients (10.6%) with TD on day 1, 11 of 21 (52%) continued to have TD on day 3 and the other 10 of 21 patients (48%) improved to no longer having TD. In 178 of 199 patients (89.4%) without TD on day 1, 16 of 178 (9%) went on to develop TD by day 3, and the other 162 of 178 (91%) continued to have normal thiamine status.
    Conclusions: In the PICU population in three centers in Turkey, the prevalence of TD in the sample of patients was 11.1%. In those TD patients who had serial studies, we also identified that by day 3 some continued to be TD, and some patients improved to normal thiamine status. Of concern, however, is the population who develop TD over the course of PICU stay.

    Abstract Background: The pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of the multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) has not yet been fully elucidated and there is no clear consensus on its treatment yet.
    Objectives: To evaluate our patients diagnosed with MIS-C and present them to the literature in order to contribute to the better understanding of this new disease, which entered paediatric practice with the SARS-CoV-2 peak.
    Methods: In this study, 17 MIS-C cases diagnosed according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria were included.
    Results: Of the patients, 7 (41.2%) had a comorbidity. Gastrointestinal system involvement was the most prominent in the patients (70.6%). Laparotomy was performed in 3 patients due to acute abdomen. Two patients had neurological involvement. Of the patients, 15 (88.2%) received intravenous immunoglobulin and 13 (76.5%) received both intravenous immunoglobulin and methylprednisolone. Two patients received invasive mechanical ventilation and 4 patients received high flow rate nasal cannula oxygen therapy. One of our patients who needed invasive mechanical ventilation and high vasoactive-inotrope support died despite all supportive treatments including plasmapheresis and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
    Conclusions: MIS-C picture can have a fatal course and may present with severe gastrointestinal and neurological signs. Unnecessary laparotomy should be avoided.
