    Abstract Bill James, baseball statistician and author, tells the story of hungry cavemen sitting about a campfire, waiting for tomatoes to ripen. One has the inspiration to throw an ox on the fire, and the first barbecue ensued and was endured. After eating, the conversation goes something like this. "There were some good parts." "Yeah, but there were some bad parts." And the smart one says, "This time, let's not eat the bones." The evolution of patient selection criteria for the use of extracorporeal support (ECLS) is a bit like those cavemen and their first barbecued ox. Extracorporeal life support technology and application to patient care is the unique result of a long standing history of ambitious attempt, evaluation, debate, collaboration and extension.

    Abstract Background: It remains unknown if pediatric patients failing initial noninvasive ventilation (NIV) experience worse clinical outcomes than those successfully treated with NIV or those primarily intubated.
    Methods: This was a single-center, retrospective review of patients admitted with acute respiratory failure to the University of Michigan pediatric intensive care or cardiothoracic ICUs and receiving NIV or invasive mechanical ventilation as first-line therapy.
    Results: One hundred seventy subjects met inclusion criteria and were enrolled: 65 NIV success, 55 NIV failure, and 50 invasive mechanical ventilation alone. Of those failing NIV, median time to intubation was 1.8 (interquartile range [IQR] < 1-7) h. On multivariable regression, ICU-free days were significantly different between groups (NIV success: 22.9 ± 6.9 d; NIV failure: 13.0
    Conclusions: We demonstrated that critically ill pediatric subjects unsuccessfully trialed on NIV did not experience increased ICU length of stay or fewer ventilator-free days when compared to those on invasive mechanical ventilation alone, including in the pediatric ARDS subgroup. Our findings are predicated on a median time to intubation of < 2 h in the NIV failure group and the provision of adequate monitoring while on NIV.

    Abstract Objective: To test the hypothesis that a normal capillary refill time (CRT) ≤ 2 seconds is associated with superior vena cava oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) ≥ 70% in critically ill children.
    Study design: Two-year, prospective study in a tertiary-level pediatric intensive care unit. Whenever ScvO₂ measurements were obtained, central (forehead/sternum) and peripheral (finger/toe) CRTs were concomitantly assessed.
    Results: Central and peripheral CRTs ≤ 2 seconds were both associated with ScvO₂ ≥ 70% (P < .01). Sensitivity/specificity analyses revealed that central CRT ≤ 2 seconds demonstrated a sensitivity of 84.4%, specificity of 71.4%, positive predictive value of 93.1%, and negative predictive value of 50.0% in predicting ScvO₂ ≥ 70%. Peripheral CRT ≤ 2 seconds had a sensitivity of 71.9%, specificity of 85.7%, positive predictive value of 95.8%, and negative predictive value of 40.0% in predicting ScvO₂ ≥ 70%.
    Conclusions: A normal CRT ≤ 2 seconds can be predictive of ScvO₂ ≥ 70%. Our study corroborates the recommendations of the Pediatric Advanced Life Support curricula targeting a normal CRT ≤ 2 seconds as a therapeutic endpoint for goal-directed shock resuscitation. This clinical target remains particularly relevant in community hospitals when the ability to obtain central venous catheter access may be limited and ScvO₂ data unavailable.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Bereaved Parent Needs Assessment, a new instrument to measure parents' needs and need fulfillment around the time of their child's death in the pediatric intensive care unit. We hypothesized that need fulfillment would be negatively related to complicated grief and positively related to quality of life during bereavement.
    Design: Cross-sectional survey.
    Setting: Five U.S. children's hospital pediatric intensive care units.
    Subjects: Parents (n = 121) bereaved in a pediatric intensive care unit 6 months earlier.
    Interventions: Surveys included the 68-item Bereaved Parent Needs Assessment, the Inventory of Complicated Grief, and the abbreviated version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire. Each Bereaved Parent Needs Assessment item described a potential need and was rated on two scales: 1) a 5-point rating of importance (1 = not at all important, 5 = very important) and 2) a 5-point rating of fulfillment (1 = not at all met, 5 = completely met). Three composite scales were computed: 1) total importance (percentage of all needs rated ≥4 for importance), 2) total fulfillment (percentage of all needs rated ≥4 for fulfillment), and 3) percent fulfillment (percentage of important needs that were fulfilled). Internal consistency reliability was assessed by Cronbach's α and Spearman-Brown-corrected split-half reliability. Generalized estimating equations were used to test predictions between composite scales and the Inventory of Complicated Grief and World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire.
    Measurements and main results: Two items had mean importance ratings <3, and 55 had mean ratings >4. Reliability of composite scores ranged from 0.92 to 0.94. Total fulfillment was negatively correlated with Inventory of Complicated Grief (r = -.29; p < .01) and positively correlated with World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (r = .21; p < .05). Percent fulfillment was also significantly correlated with both outcomes. Adjusting for parent's age, education, and loss of an only child, percent fulfillment remained significantly correlated with Inventory of Complicated Grief but not with World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire.
    Conclusions: The Bereaved Parent Needs Assessment demonstrated reliability and validity to assess the needs of parents bereaved in the pediatric intensive care unit. Meeting parents' needs around the time of their child's death may promote adjustment to loss.
