    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to assess the safety of a commonly used sedative, dexmedetomidine in neonates and infants during intensive care.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted in the paediatric intensive care unit at Oulu University Hospital. The study population consisted of all children from birth up to 6 months of age who received dexmedetomidine during 2010-2016. Adverse cardiovascular outcomes were defined as abnormal heart rates or blood pressure values according to the Paediatric Early Warning Score.
    Results: Of the 172 infants, 56% had congenital malformation, and 48% had undergone surgery. Neonates and 1-3-month-olds experienced bradycardia (86% vs. 73% in 1-3-month-olds and 50% in 3-6-month-olds, p = 0.001) and severe bradycardia (17% vs. 14% in 1-3-month-olds and 0% in 3-6-month-olds, p = 0.005) more often than older patients. The median maximum rate of dexmedetomidine infusion was 0.86 μg/kg/h (IQR = 0.60-1.71 μg/kg/h). A dose-dependent increase in bradycardia and severe hypotension was found. Adverse cardiovascular events were managed with additional fluid boluses and discontinuation of the infusion.
    Conclusion: Adverse cardiovascular events were common during dexmedetomidine administration in neonates and infants. Lower dexmedetomidine doses may be required in sedating neonates.

    Abstract Aim: The aim was to evaluate the incidence, hospitalisations and deaths in acutely ill children with dysnatraemias.
    Methods: This was a register-based cohort study of 46 518 acutely ill children aged <16 years who visited a paediatric emergency department. Risk factors were assessed using two nested case-control studies.
    Results: Moderate to severe hypernatraemia occurred in 92 children (0.20%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.16%-0.24%) and moderate to severe hyponatraemia in 131 children (0.28%; 95% CI: 0.24%-0.33%). Underlying medical conditions increased the risk of both moderate to severe hypernatraemia (odds ratio [OR]: 17; 95% 5.5-51) and moderate to severe hyponatraemia (OR: 3.5; 95% CI: 2.0-5.9). The use of a feeding tube (OR: 14; 95% CI: 3.2-66) and intellectual disability (OR: 7.3; 95% CI: 3.0-18) was associated with moderate to severe hypernatraemia. The risk of death was associated with moderate to severe hypernatraemia (OR: 19; 95% CI: 2.0-2564) and moderate to severe hyponatraemia (OR: 33; 95% CI: 3.7-4311).
    Conclusions: Severe dysnatraemias were more prevalent in acutely ill children with underlying medical conditions and were markedly associated with the risk for death.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate parents' ability to accurately assess their child's heart and respiratory rates (RRs) in the context of potential utility for telehealth visits.
    Study design: In this controlled study of 203 child-parent pairs, parents measured their child's heart rate (HR) using 4 methods: palpation, auscultation, and 2 photoplethysmographic smartphone applications. Parents measured RR by inspecting the child and tapping the smartphone application. The gold standards were electrocardiogram for the HR and the child's breaths measured by a health care professional for 60 seconds for the RR. We plotted the measurements using a Bland-Altman plot with 95% limits of agreement.
    Results: Parents underestimated HR by palpation with a calculated bias of -18 beats per minute (bpm) (SD, 19), with limits of agreement ranging from -56 to 19 bpm. Parents overestimated and underestimated HR by auscultation with limits of agreement ranging from -53 to 46 bpm. Smartphone applications did not improve the accuracy of measurements. The accuracy of parental RR measurements was low. For young children, bias was -0.8 breaths per minute (brpm) (SD, 9.8) with limits of agreement from -20 to 19 brpm, and for older children, bias was 0.9 brpm (SD 7.4) with limits of agreement from 6 to 15 brpm. The sensitivity of parental subjective opinion to recognize accelerated RR was 37% (95% CI, 25%-51%).
    Conclusion: Parents were not able to assess their child's RR or HR accurately. Digital remote assessment of children should not rely on parental measurements of vital signs.

    Abstract Aim: We aimed to assess whether detection of respiratory bacteria by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing associates with clinical outcomes in acutely ill children.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled children under the age of 18 with a suspected respiratory infection treated in a paediatric emergency department of Oulu University Hospital, Finland from January 2015 through December 2015. Nasopharyngeal samples were routinely analysed for 16 respiratory viruses and later, after storage, analysed with a multiplex PCR panel for seven respiratory bacteria.
    Results: At least one bacterial pathogen was detected in 600 out of the 1195 children (50%). The mean age was 3.3 (SD 3.7) years and 54% were boys. Atypical bacteria were associated with a risk of pneumonia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 14.1, 95% CI 3.98-50.1). Co-detection of rhinovirus with Streptococcus pneumoniae was not associated with risk of pneumonia (aOR 2.39, 95% CI 0.78-7.30). Detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae or both was not associated with the risk of hospital admission or prescription of antibiotics.
    Conclusion: Nasopharyngeal detection of atypical bacteria in acutely ill children was associated with a markedly increased risk of pneumonia. The clinical utility of wide testing for other respiratory bacteria needs further evaluation.
