TODAY’S PROGRAM...

UM Mott Hospital Update Advances in Patient and Family-Centered Care at C.S. Mott Hospital’s Pediatric ICU, Dr. Michael W. Quasney, Professor and Division Director for Pedi-atric Critical Care Medicine in the Department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases at the Uni-versity of Michigan. Dennis Powers introduced Dr. Quasney by first introducing Eric Lipson, a resident of Ann Arbor since 1971, who told us a harrowing tale of needing Dr. Quasney's services when his

daughter suddenly experienced complete shutdown of four of her vital bodily systems and stayed very close to death for over 80 days. He pointed out how lucky we all are that our medical sys-tem welcomes women and people from around to globe who are incredibly talented and are helping to save lives every day. Eric's daughter's life was saved thanks to the highly trained Pediatric Critical Care team of doctors, nurses, technicians, and support personnel.

Dr. Quasney then presented an overview of the Pediatric Critical Care services at Michigan Medicine. He started by telling us that clinical care is supported by education, research, and efforts to improve quality and safety. Pediatric Critical Care is care provided to children whose illness or injury is life-threatening and acutely impairs vital organ systems with a high probability of imminent or life-threatening deterioration. There are eight Pediatric Critical Care Units in southern lower Michigan, but none exist north of Saginaw. The care provided at these units include such high-tech procedures as Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) and Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT), which re-quire very complex and expensive machinery and highly trained people to use them. ECMO allows patients with impaired or ab-sent lung function to have their blood oxygenated outside their body. CRRT allows the function of damaged or nonfunctional kid-neys to be replaced by an external machine. Dr. Quasney then told us about new procedures being developed that permit the

opening of airways and blood vessels that have become constricted and place children's lives at risk. Children come to Mott's Pediatric Clinical Care Unit from all over the world, but only 26 beds are available, and some must be turned away. More funding is needed, espe-cially to improve access to care for children who live north of Saginaw and in the Upper Pen-insula. Congratulations to Dr. Quasney and his team for all the good work they do!

OOPS... A certain well-known and widely-admired MC of Kiwanis Scholar-ship Programs was not com-pletely happy with today’s photo. His image has been intentionally blurred in our attempt to make amends and protect his identity. Mistakes were made, as we sometimes say in the newsroom. Nevertheless, Newsletter staff and management are working hard to prevent the recurrence of such difficulties. ~Pub.
