Key Projects to Credit
• Measurement and standardization of the Paediatric Index of Mortality at Paediatric ICU: The PIM II Score assists clinicians to draw inferences concerning patient care, service, and outcome, wherein the data is collated by PICU Physicians.
• Adaptation of the Adult Mechanical Ventilation Checklist into Paediatric Mechanical Ventilation Checklist: The BWAP Checklist used by predictors, works as a tool for predicting the probability of successful weaning from mechanical ventilators, specifically for adult patients. The project aimed at customizing the checklist for use in the Paediatric ICU for child patients.
• Delirium Assessment of Children to the PICU: Delirium is a sign of severity of condition in patients admitted to ICU and General Floors, particularly patients who require mechanical ventilation. It is under assessed due to lack of education about it being a syndrome, and required a targeted approach to analyze and validate assessment scores for children in the PICU.
Highlights
