PICANet is approved by the Health Research Authority as a research database and actively supports a number of different research projects.
This can be providing data for the purposes of research through our data request process, or by enabling units to download their own data in format suitable for use within a specific research project (customised download).
Below is information on some of the current projects PICANet is supporting :
NEUROPACK
NEUROlogical Prognosis After Cardiac Arrest in Kids
Aims to follow up children 3 months after their cardiac arrest to assess their quality of life and current functional status.
The DEPICT Study
Differences in access to Emergency Paediatric Intensive Care and care during Transport
The organisation of PICRTs varies across the UK, particularly with regards to the composition of the team and the distance they need to travel to reach a child. Research is needed to investigate how these, and other factors, affect the outcomes and experiences of sick children and their families. Further information available in this document.
SAndWICh
Sedation And Weaning in Children
The SANDWICH intervention involves greater collaboration among doctors and nurses in coordinating patient-relevant sedation plans
FEVER Feasibility Study
Investigating the most appropriate time to start temperature reduction in critically ill children
The I-KID Study
Infant kidney dialysis and filtration
