A study conducted by Mass General Brigham showed a significant reduction in the mortality rates of intubated pediatric patients in El Salvador after the implementation of a low-cost quality improvement program. The study focused on improving clinical practices in pediatric intensive care units in low and middle-income countries to reduce child mortality rates, which are often 10 times higher than in high-income countries. By utilizing educational interventions, including AI-generated Spanish-language video tutorials and data-driven diagrams, the researchers were able to show a decrease in both unexpected intubations and mortality rates in the PICU. This study highlights the importance of quality improvement programs in global health care settings.
