Excerpt

The care of critically ill children often requires the use of advanced therapeutic modalities. For adults, the availability and amount of technological support in an intensive care unit have been associated with reduction in hospital mortality. Better understanding of the distribution of technology within US pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) might provide opportunity to impact outcomes of PICU care. This study was conducted to describe the distribution of 7 advanced therapeutic modalities among US PICUs.
