Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Observational StudyInfluence of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Coaching and Provider Role on Perception of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality During Simulated Pediatric Cardiac Arrest.
We aimed to describe the impact of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation coach on healthcare provider perception of cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality during simulated pediatric cardiac arrest. ⋯ Healthcare providers improved their perception of cardiopulmonary resuscitation depth with a cardiopulmonary resuscitation coach present. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation coach had the best perception of chest compressions depth.

Randomized Controlled TrialDoes Tracheal Lidocaine Instillation Reduce Intracranial Pressure Changes After Tracheal Suctioning in Severe Head Trauma? A Prospective, Randomized Crossover Study.
Tracheal suctioning is a routine procedure in mechanically ventilated children, however, in severe head-injured patients it can result in potential deleterious increase in intracranial pressure. We aimed to assess the effect of tracheal lidocaine administration on intracranial pressure during tracheal suctioning. ⋯ This preliminary study showed that tracheal lidocaine instillation can attenuate increase in intracranial pressure induced by tracheal suctioning and favor a faster return to the intracranial pressure baseline levels without significant hemodynamic and ventilatory changes.
