    Abstract Within a short time, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved into a pandemic spreading at a speed and scale that has been able to overwhelm even the most advanced health care systems quickly. Multiple guidelines published by organizations such as the WHO and US' CDC address the response to COVID-19 at the international, national, and local levels. Although these guidelines are meant to be globally accessible, implementing them is a challenge given the variability in the health care systems worldwide between low- and middleincome countries (LMIC) and high-income countries and even amongst different regions within each LMIC. We have chosen to evaluate the current guidelines focusing on LMIC and expand on the guidelines as necessary.

    Abstract As a public health measure during the COVID-19 pandemic, governments around the world instituted a variety of interventions to 'flatten the curve'. The government of Maryland instituted similar measures. We observed a striking decline in paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admissions during that period, mostly due to a decease in respiratory infections. We believe this decline is multifactorial: less person-to-person contact, better air quality and perhaps 'fear' of going to a hospital during the pandemic. We report an analysis of our PICU admissions during the lockdown period and compared them with the same time period during the four previous years.

    Abstract A survey-based pilot study was performed to examine the feasibility of videoconferencing to facilitate multidisciplinary rounds following the initiation of strict isolation and social distancing policies in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The use of a mobile workstation was implemented as the central hub for rounding at the bedside by the attending physicians, while other members of the multidisciplinary and multispecialty team joined rounds from other locations with maintaining appropriate social distance. Fifty-eight staff members who participated in videoconferencing rounds completed the postimplementation survey. Eighty-eight per cent of staff agreed that the use of videoconferencing to facilitate rounds was an effective strategy to maintain social distancing between team members during the pandemic. Sixty-four percent of staff agreed that the use of videoconferencing improved participation of the PICU team and consultants by increasing access to rounds. Over 50% of staff agreed that the use of videoconferencing improved the efficiency of rounds and team productivity. Only 4% of staff responded that videoconferencing increased the duration of rounds and 37% responded that it decreased resident and team education. Fifty-five percent of staff agreed that videoconferencing was used to promote parental participation during this pandemic month. Videoconferencing was found to be a feasible solution to safely conduct multidisciplinary rounds while maintaining social distancing, and participants found it effective without interfering with normal workflow. Incorporating videoconferencing into traditional rounding practices may be advantageous following the pandemic to improve team and family access to rounds and workflow efficiency and rounding structure.

    Abstract Complete atrioventricular canal defect is a CHD associated with intra-cardiac shunting of blood, which can lead to irreversible changes in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary artery hypertension if unrepaired. Patients with Trisomy 21 are at risk for early development of pulmonary artery hypertension if left uncorrected.1,2.
    Objectives: The purpose of this study is to describe the evolution of pulmonary artery hypertension after repair of complete atrioventricular canal defect and to determine the time to normalisation of pulmonary artery pressure in both patients with and without Trisomy 21.
    Methods: This is a single centre, retrospective analysis of patients with complete atrioventricular canal defect admitted for surgical repair at the University of Maryland Medical Center from 2005 to 2015. T-test or Mann-Whitney test and Chi-Square or Fisher's exact tests were used to compare the two groups (patients with Trisomy 21 and those without). Repeated measures of analysis of variance and serial measurement analysis were performed.
    Results: Twenty-nine patients meeting the inclusion criteria underwent repair of complete atrioventricular defects during the study period. The right ventricular pressure estimate remained elevated over time and did not show a significant difference between the two groups. Right ventricular to systolic blood pressure ratios for all patients remained > 0.5 over the time periods assessed.
    Conclusions: Our study suggests that in patients with complete atrioventricular canal defects, the right ventricular pressure remains elevated and does not normalise on echocardiograms performed up to one year after surgery, suggesting a sustained elevation in pulmonary vascular resistance.

    Abstract Numerous animal models have been used to study developmental neurotoxicity associated with short-term or prolonged exposure of common general anesthetics at clinically relevant concentrations. Pediatric anesthesia models using the nonhuman primate (NHP) may more accurately reflect the human condition because of their phylogenetic similarity to humans with regard to reproduction, development, neuroanatomy, and cognition. Although they are not as widely used as other animal models, the contribution of NHP models in the study of anesthetic-induced developmental neurotoxicity has been essential. In this review, we discuss how neonatal NHP animals have been used for modeling pediatric anesthetic exposure; how NHPs have addressed key data gaps and application of the NHP model for the studies of general anesthetic-induced developmental neurotoxicity. The appropriate application and evaluation of the NHP model in the study of general anesthetic-induced developmental neurotoxicity have played a key role in enhancing the understanding and awareness of the potential neurotoxicity associated with pediatric general anesthetics.

    Abstract Pharmacometrics could play a key role in shifting pediatric pharmacotherapy from dosing for an average patient to individualizing dosing. Clinicians can have these quantitative tools at their disposal without requiring significant training through the development of clinical decision support systems with easy-to-use interfaces that have a back-end analysis engine or pharmacometric model that uses extensive electronic health record data to predict an individualized dose for each patient. There has been increased development of these clinical decision support systems recently, and for these tools to make the proper breakthrough into clinical practice, it is of utmost importance to perform rigorous testing to ensure adequate predictive performance. In this article, we walk through the components of a decision support tool and the testing required to determine its robustness using an example of a decision support tool we developed for vancomycin dosing in pediatrics.
