-
How well beta-lactam antibiotics reach tissue in critically ill children
This study tests whether three common beta-lactam antibiotics reach sufficient tissue levels in the muscles of critically ill children.
-
Brain blood flow and brain regulation in critically ill kids
This study tests how blood flow in the brain behaves in critically ill children using a noninvasive ultrasound (TCD) to see if brain autoregulation patterns relate to outcomes.
-
Transcutaneous pO₂ monitoring in the pediatric intensive care unit
We will test whether noninvasive skin sensors that measure oxygen and carbon dioxide give similar results to arterial blood gases in children in the PICU.
-
BRIDGE: A program to help families make decisions for critically ill kids
This intervention tests whether the BRIDGE program helps parents of seriously ill young children feel more prepared to make decisions and less regret about those choices.
-
Light therapy for children in the pediatric ICU
This project will try daily bedside light therapy for children aged 4–17 in the pediatric ICU to see how easy it is to deliver and whether patients, families, and staff tolerate it.
