RRT Interventions and Subsequent
Placement in the PICU
Nearly 91% of patients who experienced
an RRT event received a signifi-
cant medical intervention: 37.1%
received oxygen, 27.1% received nebulization,
21.1% received oral/nasal/
pharynx suctioning, 17.6% received
cardiac monitoring, and 21.1% received
arterial blood gas/venous blood
gas. A total of 40 (23.5%) patients who
experienced an RRT event were moved
to the PICU. These outcomes are similar
to those reported for Children’s by
