Small Patients, Big Advances: Updates in the Care of the Pediatric Patient

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation discusses updates in the management of critically ill pediatric patients, specifically focusing on pediatric septic shock and pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The use of corticosteroids in septic shock remains uncertain, as studies have produced mixed results. A recent trial found no association between improved outcomes and steroid therapy. The use of neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) in pediatric ARDS also lacks robust data, with a recent study showing longer mechanical ventilation duration but no difference in mortality. Ongoing randomized controlled trials aim to provide more clarity in the future. Overall, current practice in these areas requires further evaluation.
