We report the successful use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration in this metabolic emergency, and report the calculated ammonia clearances for both continuous venovenous hemofiltration and hemodiafiltration.

In patients with severe poisoning, cardiac conduction disorders, supraventricular tachycardia,ventricular dysrhythmias, and hypotension may occur. Eighteen months old girl was admitted to our intensive care unit for hypotension and ventricular fibrillation after receiving amitriptyline tablets of unknown amount. Adenosine, defibrillation, magnesium sulfate, and lidocaine was applied to the patient. With these treatments the patient was discharged completely recovered (CAYD 2014; 1(1):39-42).

In this study, it was aimed to compare infections with multi-drug resistance and extended drug resistance, while evaluating the characteristics of resistant Gram-negative infections in the pediatric intensive care unit in our university hospital. Material and Methods: In this study, pediatric patients who were found to have Gram-negative infections during hsopitalization in the pediatric intensive care unit in our faculty between January 2011 and December 2015, were evaluated retrospectively. Results: One thousand thirty patients were internalized in our unit in the study period. The incidence for healthcare-associated infection was found as 17.2% and the incidence density was found as 32.7 per 1000 patient days. The incidence for healthcare-related infection per 1000 device days and the rate for device use were calculated as 66.9 and 0.59, respectively. One hundred thirty Gram-neg...
