Background: Comparison of bolus gastric feeding (BGF) vs continuous gastric feeding (CGF) with respect to timing and delivery of energy and protein in mechanically ventilated (MV) pediatric patients has not been investigated. We hypothesized that…
Purpose: To summarize recently published research reports and practice guidelines deemed to be significantly impactful for pediatric pharmacy practice.
Summary: Our author group was composed of 8 board-certified pediatric pharmacists. Eight major…
Objective To investigate the anticoagulation practice in patients presenting with new-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) during sepsis and septic shock with one-year follow-up since discharge and to evaluate factors associated with the development of…
