Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialInterpretation of digital radiographs by pediatric critical care physicians using Web-based bedside personal computers versus diagnostic workstations.
To determine whether the interpretations of digital radiographs by pediatric critical care physicians displayed on the bedside personal computer differ from the interpretations of images displayed on the diagnostic workstation. ⋯ With the exception of diffuse chest abnormalities, pediatric critical care physicians can use the Web-based bedside personal computer for clinical decision-making with the confidence that the decisions will be similar to those made on the diagnostic workstation.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComparison of intermittent versus continuous infusion of propofol for elective oncology procedures in children.
To compare the effects of administering propofol as a continuous infusion vs. bolus dosing in children undergoing ambulatory oncologic procedures in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). ⋯ Both continuous and bolus administration of propofol provided conditions for conducting oncologic procedures that were satisfying to patients, their families, and physicians. Continuous infusions were associated with a larger total dose and greater decreases in systolic blood pressure. Physician preference is likely to dictate which method is used.
