In this World Shared Practice Forum podcast, Dr. Robinder Khemani, co-author of the PALICC-2 guidelines, discusses the real-world application of pediatric ARDS management strategies. Through a case-based conversation, Dr. Khemani shares nuanced insights on intubation timing, ventilator settings, neuromuscular blockade, and rescue therapies, including ECMO. He also introduces the REDvent trial, a novel approach to lung and diaphragm protective ventilation. This content is ideal for clinicians, respiratory therapists, and healthcare educators seeking to deepen their understanding of evidence-informed, physiology-driven care in pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Analyze the clinical decision-making process for intubation in pediatric ARDS
- Apply PEEP titration techniques to assess lung recruitability in patients with PARDS
- Evaluate the role of neuromuscular blockade in maintaining lung protective ventilation
- Identify appropriate advanced rescue therapies based on PARDS phenotypes
- Explore the principles and outcomes of the REDvent trial in ventilator management

Independent Double Checks and Line Reconciliation by J. Murphy, K. Gustafson | OPENPediatrics
This podcast discusses the preoperative, operative, and postoperative considerations for patients undergoing tonsillectomy, including anatomy and pathophysiology, preoperative evaluation, anesthetic management, operative approach, and postoperative care.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon listening to this podcast, learners will be able to:
• Identify high-alert medications that may require an independent double check (IDC)
• Describe how confirmation bias can negatively impact an independent double check
• Describe the steps of an independent double check for intermittent and continuous medications
