RESUMO

Importance: Pediatric ventilator-associated events (PedVAEs, defined as a sustained worsening in oxygenation after a baseline period of stability or improvement) are useful for surveillance of complications from mechanical ventilation. It is unclear whether interventions to mitigate known risk factors can reduce PedVAE rates. Objective: To assess whether adherence to 1 or more test factors in a quality improvement bundle was associated with a reduction in PedVAE rates. Design, Setting, and Participants: This multicenter quality improvement study obtained data from 2017 to 2020 for patients who were mechanically ventilated and cared for in neonatal, pediatric, and cardiac intensive care units (ICUs). These ICUs were located in 95 hospitals participating in the Children's Hospitals' Solutions for Patient Safety (SPS) network in North America. Data analyses were performed between September 2021 and April 2023. Intervention: A quality improvement bundle consisted of 3 test factors: multidisciplinary apparent cause analysis, daily discussion of extubation readiness, and daily discussion of fluid balance goals. This bundle was distributed to a subgroup of hospitals that volunteered to participate in a collaborative PedVAE prevention initiative under the SPS network guidance in July 2018. Main Outcomes and Measures: Each SPS network hospital submitted monthly PedVAE rates from January 1, 2017, to May 31, 2020, and test factor data were submitted from July 1, 2018, to May 31, 2020. Analyses focused on hospitals that reliably submitted PedVAE rate data, defined as outcomes data submission through May 31, 2020, for at least 80% of the baseline and postbaseline periods. Results: Of the 95 hospitals in the SPS network that reported PedVAE data, 21 were grouped in the Pioneer cohort and 74 in the non-Pioneer cohort. Only 12 hospitals (57%) from the 21 Pioneer hospitals and 33 (45%) from the 74 non-Pioneer hospitals were considered to be reliable reporters of outcome data. Among the 12 hospitals, the PedVAE rate decreased from 1.9 to 1.4 events per 1000 ventilator days (absolute rate difference, -0.6; 95% CI, -0.5 to -0.7; P < .001). No significant change in the PedVAE rate was seen among the 33 hospitals that reliably submitted PedVAE rates but did not implement the bundle. Of the 12 hospitals, 3 that reliably performed daily discussion of extubation readiness had a decrease in PedVAE rate from 2.6 to 1.2 events per 1000 ventilator days (absolute rate difference, -1.4; 95% CI, -1.0 to -1.7; P < .001), whereas the other 9 hospitals that did not implement this discussion did not have a decrease. Conclusions and Relevance: This study found that a multicenter quality improvement intervention targeting PedVAE risk factors was associated with a substantial reduction in the rate of PedVAEs in hospital ICUs. The findings suggest that ICU teams seeking to reduce PedVAEs incorporate daily discussion of extubation readiness during morning rounds.

RESUMO

Background: Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) are at increased risk for hospital acquired complications. Deviations from home medication schedules and delays in administration are major contributing factors. We had previously developed a protocol to ensure adherence to home medication schedules using "custom" ordering. In this study we are assessing the impact this order type may have on reducing delays in PD medication administration in the hospital. Material and methods: We reviewed 31,404 orders placed for PD medications from January 2, 2016 to April 30 2021. We evaluated the orders to determine if they were placed in a Custom format or using a default non-custom order entry. We further evaluated all orders to determine if there was a relationship with the order type and timely administration of medications. We compared medications that were administered within 1 min, 15 min, 30 min and 60 min of due times across custom orders vs. non-custom default orders. We also evaluated the relationship between ordering providers and type of orders placed as well as hospital unit and type of orders placed. Results: 14,204 (45.23%) orders were placed using a custom schedule and 17,200 (54.77%) orders were placed using non-custom defaults. The custom group showed a significantly lower median delay of 3.06 minutes compared to the non-custom group (p<.001). Custom orders had a significantly more recent median date than non-custom default orders (2019-10-07 vs. 2018-01-06, p<0.001). In additional analyses, medication administration delays were significantly improved for custom orders compared to non-custom orders, with likelihoods 1.64 times higher within 1 minute, 1.40 times higher within 15 minutes, and 1.33 times higher within 30 minutes of the due time (p<0.001 for all comparisons). Conclusion: This is the largest study to date examining the effects of order entry type on timely administration of PD medications in the hospital. Orders placed using a custom schedule may help reduce delays in administration of PD medications.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Monocytes play an important role in the fetal and neonatal inflammatory response syndrome. They are also the precursors of alveolar macrophages, microglial and Kupffer cells. Monocytes have pro-inflammatory (PI) and anti-inflammatory (AI) functions. Interleukin (IL)-10 is a potent AI cytokine released by monocytes. OBJECTIVE: We determined the effects of endogenous and exogenous IL-10 versus equimolar levels of dexamethasone (DEX) on PI and AI cytokine release, as well as transcription factor DNA-binding activity, in endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide, LPS)-stimulated monocytes of the newborn. METHODS: Monocytes were isolated into culture media from cord blood. ELISAs, electrophoretic mobility shift assays and Western blots were employed. RESULTS: LPS-stimulated monocyte release of PI cytokines, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-1beta and IL-8, over 18 h was significantly augmented by addition of an IL-10 monoclonal antibody. Exogenous IL-10 at 10(-8)M inhibited PI cytokine release by 89-97%, while DEX at an equimolar level had no effect. DNA-binding activities of the PI transcription factors nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1), and the AI transcription factor signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) were induced over 18 h. DEX at 10(-8)M had no effect on any transcription factor DNA binding, but exogenous IL-10 at 10(-8)M produced a 60% inhibition of AP-1 DNA binding and enhanced phosphorylation of nuclear STAT3 for 18 h. CONCLUSION: At therapeutic levels of DEX, monocyte release of PI cytokine was insensitive to DEX in comparison to IL-10. IL-10 or its mechanism of action could lead to new therapy for inflammatory disorders in the perinatal period.
