In this podcast, recorded at the Top Articles of 2025 Session at PEDICRITICON 2025, Dr. Traci Wolbrink interviews Drs. Ashish Agarwal and Ramesh Kumar Ramachandran about two randomized controlled trials. These studies comparing 0.9% normal saline with Ringer’s lactate in diabetic ketoacidosis and the efficacy of high flow nasal cannula versus nasal prong bubble CPAP in bronchiolitis. The conversation reveals challenges in resource-limited settings, emphasizing the importance of protocol adherence, mentorship, and resource management. Valuable insights into fluid management, respiratory support, and research execution are offered for healthcare professionals keen on advancing clinical practice and research knowledge.Learning Objectives- Recognize the limitations of using normal saline in diabetic ketoacidosis- Understand the physiological benefits of balanced fluids like Ringer’s Lactate- Identify the logistical challenges in conducting trials in resource-limited settings- Appreciate the role of teamwork and protocol adherence in research successAUTHORSAshish Agarwal, MDPost Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, Chandigarh, IndiaRamachandran Rameshkumar, MD, DM, FRCPCHDivision of Pediatric Critical Care, Department of Pediatrics,Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education andResearch (JIPMER), Puducherry, IndiaPediatric Intensive Care Unit, Department of Pediatrics,Mediclinic City Hospital, Mohammed Bin Rashid Universityof Medicine and Health Sciences, Dubai, United Arab EmiratesTraci Wolbrink, MD, MPHCo-Director, OPENPediatricsSenior Associate in Critical Care Medicine Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain MedicineBoston Children's HospitalAssociate Professor of AnesthesiaHarvard Medical SchoolDATEInitial publication date: July 1, 2026.ARTICLES REFERENCEDAgarwal A, Jayashree M, Nallasamy K, Dayal D, Attri SV. 0.9% Saline versus Ringer's lactate as initial fluid in children with diabetic ketoacidosis: a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

In this episode of the World PICU Awareness Week 2026 podcast series, we explore caregiver wellbeing through the perspective of PICU teams across Africa.Moderated by Dr. Charlyne Kilba, this discussion brings together multidisciplinary voices from across the continent, highlighting both the shared challenges and the strength of teams working in resource-limited, high-demand environments.The conversation provides an honest reflection on the realities of pediatric critical care in Africa – including staff shortages, high patient volumes, ethical dilemmas, and limited access to essential resources – and how these factors impact the wellbeing of healthcare professionals.At the same time, the episode showcases powerful and practical approaches to support caregivers, including team-based support systems, debriefing practices, spirituality, and community-driven initiatives.

In this opening episode of the World PICU Awareness Week 2026 podcast series, we explore caregiver wellbeing through the lens of the Oceania region.Moderated by Jacinta Winderlich (Australia), this episode features Dr. Liz Crowe, a leading expert in clinician wellbeing with over two decades of experience in pediatric intensive care and extensive research on workforce sustainability.The conversation challenges conventional narratives around burnout and distress in PICU, shifting the focus toward what sustains healthcare professionals in this demanding environment. Drawing on both clinical experience and research, Dr. Crowe highlights the importance of meaning, team dynamics, and system-level responsibility in supporting those who deliver care.This episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on how PICU teams can move beyond individual-focused solutions and instead foster environments where clinicians can continue to thrive.HOSTJacinta WinderlichPaediatric Clinical Specialist DietitianMonash Children’s HospitalGUESTLiz CroweDirector of WellbeingRoyal Brisbane and Women’s HospitalDATEInitial publication date: May 2, 2026TRANSCRIPTSEnglish - https://cdn.bfldr.com/D6LGWP8S/as/jf785nrnf4pqtx6jr4z6mw/Oceania_26_transcriptSpanish - https://cdn.bfldr.com/D6LGWP8S/as/jf785nrnf4pqtx6jr4z6mw/Oceania_26_transcript?position=7French - https://cdn.bfldr.com/D6LGWP8S/as/jf785nrnf4pqtx6jr4z6mw/Oceania_26_transcript?position=3Portuguese - https://cdn.bfldr.com/D6LGWP8S/as/jf785nrnf4pqtx6jr4z6mw/Oceania_26_transcript?position=6Italian - https://cdn.bfldr.com/D6LGWP8S/as/jf785nrnf4pqtx6jr4z6mw/Oceania_26_transcript?position=5German - https://cdn.bfldr.com/D6LGWP8S/as/jf785nrnf4pqtx6jr4z6mw/Oceania_26_transcript?position=4Arabic - https://cdn.bfldr.com/D6LGWP8S/as/jf785nrnf4pqtx6jr4z6mw/Oceania_26_transcript?position=2Please visit: www.openpediatrics.org OPENPediatrics™ is an interactive digital learning platform for healthcare clinicians sponsored by Boston Children's Hospital and in collaboration with the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies.

Optimizing Cardiac Output After Surgery, by Dorothy Beke.
Hello. My name is Dorothy Beke. I'm a clinical nurse specialist in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at the Children's Hospital Boston. In this video on post-operative considerations after pediatric cardiac surgery, I will discuss issues related to optimizing cardiac output in the post-operative pediatric cardiac patient.
Maintaining Cardiac Output.
Preserve myocardial function and minimize oxygen consumption by decreasing stress to the heart. Too much inotropic support, such as with dopamine or epinephrine, causes the heart to work harder, produces cardiac arrhythmias, and increases both systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance. Low intracardiac or central venous pressures will cause tachycardia and decreased peripheral profusion. Fluid boluses of 5 to 10 milliliters per kilogram may be indicated to ensure adequate cardiac preload.
Monitor for Increased Systemic and Pulmonary Vascular Resistance.
Increased pulmonary vascular resistance may be due to excessive pulmonary blood flow, inflammatory and ischemic responses related to cardiopulmonary bypass, edema, or prolonged mechanical ventilation. Increased systemic vascular resistance may be related to left ventricular failure, cardiopulmonary bypass, hypoxia, acidosis, or low body temperature, or pain. Measures to decrease pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance include adequate mechanical ventilation and oxygenation, analgesia and sedation as well as afterload reducing agents such as nitroprusside. Milrinone has both inotropic and afterload reducing effects. Maintain cardiac output for improving cardiac contractility with inotropic medications such as dopamine, and by maintaining normal acid-base balance and adequate tissue oxygenation. Normal sinus rhythm will optimize cardiac output.
Milrinone. The PRIMACORP trial was one of the few multi-centered, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled trials of a pediatric cardiovascular drug. Milrinone is a non-catecholamine inotropic agent with vasodilatory and lusitropic or cardiac relaxation effects. It has been shown to improve cardiac output while lowering filling pressures and systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance with minimal cardiac oxygen consumption. In the PRIMACORP trial, patients were randomized to high-dose Milrinone of 0.75 micrograms per kilogram per minute, 1/3 were randomized to low-dose Milrinone of 0.25 micrograms per kilogram per minute, and 1/3 were randomized to placebo. The prophylactic use of Milrinone in a 64% relative risk reduction in developing low cardiac output syndrome and the first 36 hours after cardiopulmonary bypass with high-dose Milrinone of 0.75 micrograms per kilogram per minute.
