Primary Active Transport01:47

Primary Active Transport

199.4K
In contrast to passive transport, active transport involves a substance being moved through membranes in a direction against its concentration or electrochemical gradient. There are two types of active transport: primary active transport and secondary active transport. Primary active transport utilizes chemical energy from ATP to drive protein pumps that are embedded in the cell membrane. With energy from ATP, the pumps transport ions against their electrochemical gradients—a direction...

Secondary Active Transport01:55

Secondary Active Transport

138.0K
One example of how cells use the energy contained in electrochemical gradients is demonstrated by glucose transport into cells. The ion vital to this process is sodium (Na+), which is typically present in higher concentrations extracellularly than in the cytosol. Such a concentration difference is due, in part, to the action of an enzyme “pump” embedded in the cellular membrane that actively expels Na+ from a cell. Importantly, as this pump contributes to the high concentration of...

Introduction to z Scores01:06

Introduction to z Scores

11.2K
A z score (or standardized value) is measured in units of the standard deviation. It tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a zero z score. It is important to note that the mean of the z scores is zero, and the standard deviation is one.

z Scores and Area Under the Curve

z scores are the standardized values obtained after converting a normal distribution into a standard normal distribution. A z score is measured in units of the standard deviation. The z score tells you how many standard deviations the value x is above (to the right of) or below (to the left of) the mean, μ. Values of x that are larger than the mean have positive z scores, and values of x that are smaller than the mean have negative z scores. If x equals the mean, then x has a z score of...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pediatric transport severity scoring systems like PedCTAS, TPEWS, and TRAP effectively predict pediatric intensive care unit admissions. The PRISM III score was not predictive for PICU admissions in this study.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric critical care medicine
    • Transport medicine
    • Health informatics

    Background:

    • Interfacility transport of pediatric patients presents challenges in determining appropriate care disposition.
    • Severity of illness scoring systems can aid in matching patient acuity with necessary care levels.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the effectiveness of currently used scoring systems in matching pediatric transport patients' severity of illness with required care levels.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of a regional transport registry (2015-2016) including 209 pediatric patients.
    • Calculation and comparison of Pediatric RISk of Mortality III (PRISM III), Canadian Pediatric Triage and Acuity Scale (PedCTAS), Transport Pediatric Early Warning Scores (TPEWS), and Transport Risk Assessment in Pediatrics (TRAP) scores.
    • Descriptive statistics, binomial logistic regression, and kappa statistics for interrater reliability were used.

    Main Results:

    • PedCTAS (score 1), TPEWS (score ≥6 or category 3), and TRAP (score ≥4) were significantly associated with pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission.
    • Odds ratios for PICU admission were 37.2 for PedCTAS, 42.2 for TPEWS, and 7.2 for TRAP.
    • PRISM III scores did not predict PICU admissions.

    Conclusions:

    • Elevated PedCTAS, TPEWS, and TRAP scores are strongly associated with PICU admission in the interfacility pediatric transport setting.
    • These scoring systems demonstrate utility in guiding care disposition for critically ill pediatric patients during transport.
