Journal Title: Journal Of Pediatric Critical Care - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: mechanical ventilation has become frequently used life supportive management in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) Objectives To determine the characteristics, common cause for ventilation, Ventilation related complications and final outcome of ventilated patients in PICU, SDM Material and Methods study on ventilated children for respiratory cause, admitted to PICU from 1stdec 2015 to 31st may 2016.The factors studied include demographic and clinical profile, length of stay on ventilator, indication for ventilation, complication and the final outcome. Results total of 170 case admitted in PICU were ventilated over the period of six months. Male to female ratio was 2.9:1. Impending respiratory failure (34.7%) and respiratory distress with underlying pneumonia (26.08%) causes were found to be the commonest indication of ventilation in the study. 39.13% of patient had required ventilation on the same day of admission, Average ventilator stay falls between >24hrs to 72hours. 17.39% ventilator associated pneumonia and 17.39% sepsis positive, 43.47% of ventilated case were recovered and successfully discharged and 56.5% of death among all the cases.
