PEDIATRIC CRITICAL CARE CRITICAL CARE
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
■ 20 clinical trials and observational studies underway in critical care at Riley Children’s, including 14 funded by the National Institutes of Health and three funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ■ Active in studies focused on data science, global health and aspects of multiorgan dysfunction, including ARDS, sepsis, renal failure and ECMO support
The 37-bed PICU at Riley Children’s Health provides skilled care to critically ill infants, children and adolescents. According to The Children’s Hospital Association, the PICU located at Riley Hospital for Children in downtown Indianapolis is one of the highest acuity centers in the United States. With all pediatric medical and surgical subspecialties represented, the PICU delivers a collaborative model for the care of a large volume of high-acuity diseases and injuries.

PROGRAM DISTINCTIONS
Specialized programs Procedural Sedation Team
■ Platinum Level ECMO Center of Excellence designated by the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization
■ Averaging nearly 120 procedural sedations per month, our team provided care to 1,427 patients in 2023. Advanced technologies ■ Etiometry ■ High-frequency oscillatory ventilation ■ Inhaled nitric oxide ■ Kinetic therapy rotational bed ■ Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) ■ Aquapheresis Committed to quality and safety ■ Reduced hospital-acquired harm -- The Riley PICU has significantly reduced the number of central line infections, pressure injuries and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. In 2023, our central line infection rate was 0.73 per 1,000 line days -- markedly lower than the national benchmark of 1.29. ■ CRRT support -- 53 patients were supported with CRRT in 2023. Additionally, the Riley PICU provided postoperative care for 20 children undergoing solid organ transplants. ■ Improved communication -- Nursing-integrated rounds and a standardized approach to communicating with families are being used to improve team collaboration and family experience during critical illness.
