Clinical Outcome of Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
Keywords:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome, ARDSAbstract
Background: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a diffuse inflammatory lung disease that is impaired gas exchange. Most common cause of ARDS was pneumonia. In Thailand, there was still limited research of pediatric ARDS and mostly conducted in university hospital.
Objective: To estimate the outcome of ARDS in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital.
Methods: ARDS patients aged 29 days to 15 years who admitted to PICU during March 1st, 2018 to May 31st, 2019 and received mechanical ventilator at least 24 hours were enrolled. Data were collected daily until discharge from hospital or death. All patients were followed the standard of pediatric critical care management.
Results: There were 695 patients admitted to PICU. 126 patients did not meet inclusion criteria, 4 patients met exclusion criteria, and 27 patients were ARDS (3.9%). There were 18 male patients (66.7%), the median age was 2.4 years, the mean body weight was 22.7
kilograms. Most common cause was pneumonia (77.8%). Twenty-one patients died (77.8%). The risk factors of mortality were Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebseilla pneumoniae infection, severe ARDS, inotrope usage, high PRISM III score, high PELOD-2 score, and number of organ failure but there were no statistically significant.
Conclusion: 27 patients were ARDS (3.9%). Twenty-one patients died (77.8%). The risk factors of mortality were no statistically significant.
