From the President
It’s Jubilee time!! The Fall Event Committee has been hard at work preparing for this historic event. Come one, come all…it’s sure to be a fun evening. Simply register or donate by clicking this link or scanning the code. Plenty of details regarding the evening in this issue, so check it out and join us. Bring a friend too!  

The tours of the new Critical Care Building were wonderful. We appreciate the Development Department leading the tours and giving us the opportunity to see the amazing facility. Thanks also to Drs. Stalets and Dewan who were on hand to explain many of the exciting things that will be available in the PICU area. Every minute we put into fundraising for CCHMC is time well spent, especially knowing, and now seeing firsthand, how important our contribution is to their needs. Don’t ever forget that every bit of time a Kindervelt member gives is making a true difference in many lives; thank you for that!

PLENTY happening this month, so take some time to absorb it all in this edition.  

See you at the Fall Event: 50th Jubilee, to celebrate! Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your family.

Kindervelt City President
“Together, We Are Family”
By - Nancy Groves VanBuskirk
If you watched the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Critical Care Building, you couldn’t help but notice how big a role “togetherness” played in the creation of the new building. Input came from not only the hospital staff, but from the families of patients, and the community. Support came from the many donors, including Kindervelt, and the area civic leaders.

In a thank you letter for Kindervelt’s May gift of $410,000 for the new Critical Care Building and the PICU, Michael Fisher President and CEO of CCHMC wrote:

“Thank you for choosing to invest in our exciting new Critical Care Building and create the Kindervelt Endowed Chair for Critical Medicine to provide and coordinate care for our pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Like most any family, the Cincinnati Children’s family takes care of one another. I am grateful for that. And I am especially grateful for Kindervelt’s commitment to that idea. Our patients, colleagues, and community all benefit.

Our new building, and the chair position, will serve kids and families for generations to come. Thanks for making that possible.”

Mark Jahnke, Chair, Cincinnati Children’s Board of Trustees wrote this thank you letter to Kindervelt:

On behalf of the Board, our team and all those we serve, thank you.
I am grateful for our special partnership with Kindervelt and I am proud of all the good we do together. Kindervelt’s latest gift is no exception. An investment in our Critical Care Building and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is an investment in our future. It is a big project that will result in big impact. Thank you for being a part of this important work. Most of all, thank you for caring for our kids and families with such passion and commitment.”

Over our fifty years we have received many such letters from past CCHMC Presidents and CEOs, Board of Trustee Chairs, and the many doctors and division chairs for the commitments we have supported. Our collaborative spirit has definitely made us better together, and together, we can change the outcome, and together we can make a difference.
Preventing Cardiac Arrests in Critically Ill Children 
Maya Dewan, MD MPH and Lindsey Moore RN

The main focus of care in the PICU is to optimize care of critically ill children and prevent further deterioration which may result in a cardiac arrest or a child’s heart stopping.  Cardiac arrests in the PICU have traditionally been thought of as unpreventable events. This has resulted in traditional pediatric cardiac arrest research focusing on how to improve the quality of CPR. While here at Cincinnati Children’s PICU, we continue to train our code team for optimal CPR, we have adopted the mantra that “NO CPR is better than GOOD CPR”. Based on this, we have focused on preventing CPR in the PICU. 

How do you prevent cardiac arrests in very sick children? The answer comes from work done at Cincinnati Children’s outside the intensive care units on improving situation awareness. Situation awareness can be defined as “knowing what is happening around me.” . . . . . . . .
