PCCM Audio Summary - December 2024

The December 2024 issue of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine features two articles about the  determination of death by neurologic criteria, one focusing on meropenem pharmacokinetic factors in sepsis and one focusing on the use of peripheral perfusion index in Ugandan children. The clinical investigations cover beta-lactam antibiotic dosing and use during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; physical, cognitive, emotional, and social health outcomes in children within six months after critical illness; outcomes in pediatric burn patients by timing of referral; and caregiver perspectives on the use of continuity physicians during prolonged hospitalizations. Additionally, find a commentary on the ethics of resource allocation for extracorporeal life support in pediatric patients.
