Associate Editor’s Message

The 18th Annual International Meeting of the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society in Miami Beach, Florida was, to say the least, outstanding. To have participated in person, as an International Nurse from a Low/Middle Income Country (LMIC) and after the pandemic, felt extra special. My hospital, CardioPedBrasil® Hospital de Criança e Maternidade in Sao José…

This past December, I had the opportunity to attend the 18th Annual International PCICS meeting and immediately noticed two things. Similar to most of my fellow attendees, my first impression was how refreshing it was to see everyone in person and (re)connect with colleagues from around the world. It was nice, after the last few…
