Like most U.S. hospitals, Cincinnati Children's is affected by the IV fluid shortage caused by damage to Baxter International's North Carolina production facility during Hurricane Helene. Our teams will continue to watch this situation and will provide any updates as needed.
Pediatric Status Epilepticus Research Group (pSERG)
We proposed a refractory status epilepticus (RSE) registry that will enable us to determine the most effective treatment and monitoring algorithms by establishing a cohort of well-identified RSE patients to identify biomarkers of outcome. Within the pSERG network we will develop a prospective RSE registry among tertiary care hospitals focused on standardized RSE outcome assessment. This will include the expansion of a standardized web-based data entry tool, development of an outcome registry, and determination of illness severity adjusters and outcome predictors in RE as well as analysis of genetic biomarkers.
