Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study was to identify the prevalence of mechanical ventilation-associated complications and co-morbidities in pediatric patients admitted to the PICU of Benha University Hospital, uncover how often these problems occur, their types, factors linked to them and to compare the epidemiology of MV-associated complications.


Clinical Trial Description

Mechanical ventilation (MV) is used frequently for critically ill children in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). While respiratory disease is a major indication for invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), there are also numerous non-respiratory indications for mechanical ventilation, including neurological and neuromuscular pathology, congenital heart disease, hemodynamic shock, and postoperative care and pain management and septic shock. Although lung-protective ventilation strategies are extensively implemented in the pediatric population, frequent adverse events (AEs) of mechanical ventilation are detected, such as accidental extubation, atelectasis, trauma by aspiration, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), perioral tissue damage, secretion-mediated obstruction of the endotracheal tube (ETT), mucus plugging, air leak syndromes, neuromyopathy, post-extubation stridor, and PICU delirium. Some of these events require the direct intervention of the physician, nurse, or physiotherapist in order to be identified; thus, they are associated with the quality of care.The incidence of these complications among pediatric patients in the PICU is noteworthy, with rates ranging from 27 to 97 adverse events per thousand patients per day. This is mainly associated with hazardous invasive procedures that can lead to unfortunate poor outcome.Few studies focus on the complications of using ventilators in infants and adolescents, especially regarding VAP cases. The goal of this study was to identify the prevalence of mechanical ventilation-associated complications and co-morbidities in pediatric patients admitted to the PICU of Benha University Hospital, uncover how often these problems occur, their types, factors linked to them and to compare the epidemiology of MV-associated complications. ;
