<description>In this World Shared Practice Forum Podcast, Drs. Luregn Schlapbach and Janet Kelly-Geyer discuss the implementation and impact of the Airway, Breathing, Circulation - Plan, Risk, Options (ABC-PRO) handover tool in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. They discuss how a structured, proactive risk assessment during clinical handovers can reduce cardiac arrest rates and improve patient outcomes. They share perspectives on enhancing team situational awareness by anticipating high-risk events, identifying management strategies, and encouraging multidisciplinary participation in anticipatory care. Lastly, they highlight how the ABC-PRO framework advances overall patient safety in critical care settings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand the ABC-PRO tool’s function in reducing cardiac arrests and enhancing safety
- Examine bedside team-based discussions around key patient risks during handovers using the ABC-PRO tool
- Recognize the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in patient management
- Assess the potential for implementing similar handover improvements in diverse healthcare settings

<description>In this Complex Care Journal Club podcast episode, Drs. Kathleen Chiotos and Jeffrey Gerber discuss a post hoc time-series analysis of clinician feedback reports and antibiotic prescribing for community-acquired pneumonia in children with medical complexity (CMC). They describe why children with medical complexity are often excluded from guideline-based interventions, what the data suggest about antibiotic choice and duration in this population, and next steps to design studies that include all children.

Evidence for Everyone: Studying Antibiotic Use for Pneumonia in Children With Medical Complexity‌

<description>This Physician World Shared Practice Forum Podcast explores two multicenter studies on extubation outcomes in neonates and children following congenital cardiac surgery. These studies incorporate integration of machine learning and risk analytics for extubation decision-making, and examine extubation readiness and extubation failure outcomes.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Understand the key factors influencing extubation outcomes following congenital cardiac surgery
- Examine the use of machine learning and risk analytics in neonatal and pediatric extubation decisions
- Discuss how machine learning can improve clinical decision-making and patient safety
