Randomized Controlled Trial
Epinephrine Plus Vasopressin vs Epinephrine Plus Placebo in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Randomized Double Blind Controlled Clinical Trial.
To compare the efficacy of epinephrine plus vasopressin vs epinephrine plus placebo in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). ⋯ A combination of epinephrine plus vasopressin did not improve the rate of return of spontaneous circulation in the pediatric intensive care unit cardiopulmonary resuscitation as compared with epinephrine plus placebo.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Dexmedetomidine vs Midazolam for Sedation in Mechanically Ventilated Children: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
There is a paucity of data on use of dexmedetomidine as a sedative agent in mechanically ventilated children. ⋯ Non-inferiority of dexmedetomidine compared to midazolam for sedation in children on mechanical ventilation could not be established.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of Phenytoin, Valproate and Levetiracetam in Pediatric Convulsive Status Epilepticus: A Randomized Double-blind Controlled Clinical Trial.
To compare the efficacy of phenytoin, valproate, and levetiracetam in the management of pediatric convulsive status epilepticus. ⋯ Phenytoin, valproate, and levetiracetam were equally effective in controlling pediatric convulsive status epilepticus.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Propofol versus Fentanyl for Sedation in Pediatric Bronchoscopy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare propofol and fentanyl to induce conscious sedation in children undergoing flexible bronchoscopy. ⋯ Propofol has a shorter sedation induction time, less coughing during procedure, less recovery time, and better physician satisfaction compared to fentanyl for flexible bronchoscopy in children.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Bronchiolitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To evaluate the efficacy of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) in decreasing respiratory distress in bronchiolitis. ⋯ nCPAP helped reduce respiratory distress significantly compared to standard care.
