To introduce to the pediatric critical care medicine community a new program in pediatric critical care medicine at the National Institutes of Health.
Summary of literature review and conference proceedings.
At the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), a new program in pediatric critical care and rehabilitation research has been established in the National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research. The program is directed by a pediatric intensivist and is focused on developing research directed toward improving long-term outcomes in pediatric critical care and on incorporating pediatric rehabilitation medicine as a partner in this goal. To provide strategic direction for the new program, the NICHD sponsored a planning conference May 3-4, 2002, at the NICHD in Bethesda, MD. The conference invitees represented a broad range of pediatric critical care medicine clinical and research interests, expertise, and career stages. It also included individuals with expertise in rehabilitation research.
The composition of the new program, including its link to physical medicine and rehabilitation, is discussed. In addition, recommendations by the conference participants and program director are provided to foster the development of more randomized, controlled clinical trials and to develop successful clinician scientists in pediatric critical care medicine.
向儿科重症医学领域介绍美国国立卫生研究院的一项新的儿科重症医学项目。
文献综述和会议记录摘要。
在国立儿童健康与人类发展研究所（NICHD），国立医学康复研究中心设立了一项新的儿科重症与康复研究项目。该项目由一名儿科重症监护医师指导，重点开展旨在改善儿科重症监护长期预后的研究，并将儿科康复医学纳入实现这一目标的合作伙伴。为给新项目提供战略指导，NICHD于2002年5月3日至4日在马里兰州贝塞斯达的NICHD主办了一次规划会议。会议受邀者代表了儿科重症医学临床和研究领域广泛的兴趣、专业知识和职业阶段。其中还包括康复研究方面的专家。
讨论了新项目的构成，包括其与物理医学与康复的联系。此外，还提供了会议参与者和项目主任的建议，以促进开展更多随机对照临床试验，并培养出成功的儿科重症医学临床科学家。
