Inflammatory Markers for Nosocomial Infections in Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: Single-Center Retrospective Cohort, 2017-2022
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of white blood cell (WBC) count, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin in identifying nosocomial infections in pediatric patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Their findings indicated that none of the laboratory markers had adequate discriminative ability for detecting infections, although normal values could assist in reducing unnecessary antibiotic treatments and surveillance cultures in this patient population.
