Abstract
BACKGROUND Viral bronchiolitis is a common cause of acute respiratory failure requiring intubation for infants. Bacterial respiratory tract infections can occur with bronchiolitis, although their prevalence and impact on outcomes are unclear, especially with increased use of noninvasive respiratory support. METHODS This was a single-center retrospective cohort study of children <2 years old requiring intubation in the emergency department for bronchiolitis from 2012 to 2017 who had viral testing plus a lower respiratory culture obtained. We evaluated the impact of bacterial codetection (positive respiratory culture plus moderate or many polymorphonuclear neutrophils on Gram stain) on mechanical ventilation (MV) duration and intensive care unit length of stay using multivariable gamma regression. RESULTS Of 149 patients enrolled, 52% had bacterial codetection. In adjusted analysis, patients with codetection had shorter MV duration [adjusted relative risk (aRR) 0.819, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.69-0.98; marginal mean duration of 5.31 days (4.71-5.99) compared to 6.48 days (5.72-7.35) without codetection]. Patients with codetection had a shorter intensive care unit stay [aRR 0.806 (0.69-0.94); marginal mean length of stay 6.9 days (6.21-7.68) vs. 8.57 days (7.68-9.56) without codetection]. The association between codetection and duration of ventilation appears confined to those receiving earlier antibiotics (less than the median time) rather than later antibiotics [aRR 0.738 (0.56-0.95) for earlier vs. aRR 0.92 (0.70-1.18) for later]. CONCLUSIONS Respiratory bacterial codetection is common and associated with shorter MV duration in infants requiring early intubation for bronchiolitis. Early antibiotics may contribute to these outcomes, but further multicenter studies are needed to understand the role of codetection and antibiotics on bronchiolitis outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Existing bronchiolitis guidelines do not reflect the needs of infants admitted to the PICU. This study aimed to identify PICU providers' reported practice variations and explore the need for critical bronchiolitis clinical guidelines. METHODS Cross-sectional electronic survey available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese between November 2020 and March 2021, distributed via research networks from North and Latin America, Asia, and Australia/New Zealand. RESULTS A total of 657 PICU providers responded, including 344 English, 204 Spanish, and 109 Portuguese. PICU providers indicated frequently using (≥25% of time) diagnostic modalities for nonintubated and intubated patients on PICU admission (complete blood count [75%-97%], basic metabolic panel [64%-92%], respiratory viral panel [90%-95%], chest x-ray [83%-98%]). Respondents also reported regularly (≥25% of time) prescribing β-2 agonists (43%-50%), systemic corticosteroids (23%-33%), antibiotics (24%-41%), and diuretics (13%-41%). Although work of breathing was the most common variable affecting providers' decision to initiate enteral feeds for nonintubated infants, hemodynamic status was the most common variable for intubated infants (82% of providers). Most respondents agreed it would be beneficial to have specific guidelines for infants with critical bronchiolitis who are requiring both noninvasive (91% agreement) and invasive (89% agreement) respiratory support. CONCLUSIONS PICU providers report performing diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for infants with bronchiolitis more frequently than recommended by current clinical guidelines, with interventions occurring more frequently for infants requiring invasive support. More clinical research is needed to inform the creation of evidence-based guidelines specifically for infants with critical bronchiolitis.

Use of high‐flow cannula in pediatric patients with respiratory failure: A prospective cohort study in three high‐altitude hospitals. Health Sci Rep 2023; 6:e1182. [PMID: 37016619 PMCID: PMC10066842 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.1182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Acute respiratory failure (ARF) is a common cause of morbimortality, and a frequent reason for admission to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It requires a high‐flow oxygen device as treatment. Our aim is to determine the frequency and main indications for the use of high‐flow nasal cannula (HFNC), and the prevalence of HFNC failure and its main causes, in three hospitals Methods It is a multicenter prospective cohort study, developed in three hospitals in Bogota. Eligible patients were children older than 1 month and younger than 18 years who presented ARF and required management with an HFNC. The study was carried out between April 2020 and December 2021. The follow‐up was carried out at 1, 6, and 48 h after starting the management. Results Of 685 patients included in the study, 296 developed ARF. The prevalence of patients with ARF who required management with HFNC was 48%. The frequency of the pathologies that cause the ARF was: Bronchiolitis was the most frequent pathology (34.5%), followed by asthmatic crisis (15.5%) and pneumonia (12.7%). The average time of use of HFNC was 81.6 h. Regarding treatment failure with HFNC, 15 patients presented torpid evolution and required invasive mechanical ventilation, with a prevalence of therapeutic failure of the HFNC of 10.6%. Conclusion The use of HFNC is more frequent in patients with bronchiolitis, in children under 2 years of age and in males, which is in line with what has been reported in the literature. In addition, the failure rate of HFNC is low (10.6%), and it may be useful in other pathologies besides bronchiolitis, such as asthma, pneumonia, among others. It opens the possibility to continue evaluating the role of HFNC in pediatric pathology in new studies.

Abstract
PCR tests for viral identification, performed on nasopharyngeal secretions, have experienced a major boom in the last few years. Their use is very frequent, but their indications are still not well defined, especially in Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU). These tests are used for the microbiological diagnosis of lower respiratory infections but can be used in other situations. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of viral identification on antibiotic therapy management. We conducted a single-centre retrospective study from 1 October 2017 to 31 December 2019. This study included all consecutive FilmArray® Respiratory Panel tests performed in patients hospitalised in a PICU. Patients were identified using the microbiology laboratory prospective database and data were extracted from the medical record. 544 tests corresponding to 408 patients were included. The main reasons for testing were pneumonia (34%) and bronchiolitis (24%). In 70% of cases, at least one virus was identified, with Human Rhinovirus (56%) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (28%) being the two predominant. Bacterial co-infection was present in 25% of cases. Viral identification was not associated with reduced antibiotic therapy. On multivariate analysis, antibiotic management was significantly associated with clinical gravity, CRP value or radiology findings regardless of virus identification. Viral identification has an epidemiological value, but antibiotic prescription relies on other factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to analyze the weaning success, the type of weaning procedures, and weaning duration in consecutive infants hospitalized in a pediatric intensive care unit over a winter season. METHODS A retrospective observational study was conducted in a pediatric intensive care unit in a tertiary center. Infants hospitalized for severe bronchiolitis were included and the weaning procedure from continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), noninvasive ventilation (NIV), or high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) was analyzed. RESULTS Data from 95 infants (median age, 47 days) were analyzed. On admission, 26 (27%), 46 (49%), and 23 (24%) infants were supported with CPAP, NIV, and HFNC, respectively. Weaning failed in one (4%), nine (20%), and one (4%) infants while supported with CPAP, NIV, or HFNC, respectively (p = 0.1). In infants supported with CPAP, CPAP was stopped directly in five patients (19%) while HFNC was used as an intermediate ventilatory support in 21 (81%). The duration of weaning was shorter for HFNC (17 h, [IQR: 0-26]) than for CPAP (24 h, [14-40]) and NIV (28 h, [19-49]) (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS The weaning phase corresponds to a large proportion of noninvasive ventilatory support duration in infants with bronchiolitis. The weaning procedure following a "step-down" strategy may lead to an increase in the duration of weaning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the patient characteristics, clinical management, and infectious etiology in critically ill children with bronchiolitis. The secondary objective was to determine the association between antibiotic use and hospital length of stay among patients without concomitant bacterial infections. METHODS Retrospective cohort study including patients ≤2 years old with bronchiolitis admitted to 3 Canadian pediatric intensive care units between 2016 and 2018. RESULTS We included 372 patients with a median age of 2.1 months (interquartile range 1.2-6.6) and Pediatric Risk of Mortality III score 3.0 (interquartile range 0-3.0). Initial ventilatory management included high flow nasal cannula (28.2%) and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (53.7%), of which 41.9% and 87.5%, respectively, did not require escalation of ventilatory support. Chest radiographs (81.7%) and respiratory virus testing (95.4%) were performed in most patients; 14.0% received systemic steroids. Respiratory syncytial virus was detected in 61.3% patients, and 7.5% had a culture-positive concomitant bacterial infection. Of 258 (69.4%) patients with a viral infection, only 45.3% received antibiotics. In this group, antibiotic use beyond 72 hours was not associated with hospital length of stay (ratio 1.14, 95% confidence interval 0.97-1.34). CONCLUSIONS High flow nasal canulae and noninvasive ventilation are commonly used in severe bronchiolitis. Despite contrary evidence, steroids and antibiotics were also frequently used. Evidence-based guidelines specific to children with severe bronchiolitis are needed to improve the care delivered to this patient population.

Abstract
Background Bacterial infection (BI), both community-acquired (CA-BI) and hospital-acquired (HAI), might present as a severe complication in patients with bronchiolitis. This study aimed to describe BI in children with severe bronchiolitis, and to define risk factors for BI. Methods This was a prospective, descriptive study that included infants admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) due to bronchiolitis between 2011 and 2017. The BROSJOD score was calculated to rate the severity of bronchiolitis. Results Inclusion of 675 patients, with a median age of 47 days (IQR 25–99). 175 (25.9%) patients developed BI, considered HAI in 36 (20.6%). Patients with BI had higher BROSJOD score, PRISM III, and required invasive mechanical ventilation and inotropic support more frequently (p < 0.001). BI was independently associated with BROSJOD higher than 12 (OR 2.092, 95%CI 1.168–3.748) CA-BI was associated to BROSJOD > 12 (OR 2.435, 95%CI 1.379–4.297) and bacterial co-infection (OR 2.294 95%CI 1.051–5.008). Concerning HAI, an independent association was shown with mechanical ventilation longer than 7 days (OR 5.139 95%CI 1.802–14.652). Infants with BI had longer PICU and hospital stay (p < 0.001), Mortality was higher in patients with HAI. Conclusions A quarter of infants with severe bronchiolitis developed BI. A BROSJOD > 12 may alert the presence of CA-BI, especially pneumonia. Patients with BI have higher morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the association between the implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship program at a local PICU and to determine the association between the presence of an antimicrobial stewardship programs and antimicrobial use across three Canadian PICUs, among critically ill children with bronchiolitis. DESIGN A multicenter retrospective cohort study. SETTING Three Canadian PICUs over two winter seasons. INTERVENTIONS An antimicrobial stewardship program was implemented at PICU 1 at the end of season 1. PATIENTS Patients less than or equal to 2 years old admitted with bronchiolitis. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We used regression models with an interaction term between site (PICU 1 and PICU 2) and season (1 and 2) as the primary analysis to determine the association between implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship program at PICU 1 and 1) the proportion of antimicrobials discontinued 72 hours after hospital admission (logistic regression), 2) antimicrobial treatment duration (negative binomial regression), and 3) antimicrobial prescriptions within 48 hours of hospital admission (logistic regression). As a secondary analysis, we determined the association between having an antimicrobial stewardship program present and the aforementioned outcomes across the three PICUs. A total of 372 patients were included. During seasons 1 and 2, median age was 2.2 months (interquartile range, 1.2-6.2 mo) and 2.1 months (interquartile range, 1.3-6.8 mo), respectively. Among patients with viral bronchiolitis, implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship program at PICU 1 was associated with increased odds of discontinuing antimicrobials (odds ratio, 25.63; 95% CI, 2.86-326.29), but not with antimicrobial duration (odds ratio, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.31-1.02) or antimicrobial prescriptions (odds ratio, 0.33; 95% CI, 0.10-1.04). The presence of an antimicrobial stewardship program was similarly associated with antimicrobial discontinuation among patients with viral bronchiolitis (odds ratio, 20.79; 95% CI, 2.46-244.92), but not with antimicrobial duration (odds ratio, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.32-1.03) or antimicrobial prescriptions (odds ratio, 0.37; 95% CI, 0.12-1.11). CONCLUSIONS Antimicrobial stewardship programs were associated with increased likelihood of discontinuing antimicrobial treatments in the PICU patients with viral bronchiolitis. However, larger studies are needed to further determine the role of an antimicrobial stewardship programs in reducing unnecessary antimicrobial use in this patient population.

Abstract
High flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy has been previously shown to produce positive upper airway pressures in adult and child patients. This work aimed to evaluate and quantify the effects of HFNC flowrate and gas type on airway pressures measured in vitro in infant airway replicas. Ten realistic infant airway replicas, extending from nares to trachea, were connected in turn to a lung simulator and were supplied gas flows through HFNC. Air and heliox were each provided at two weight-indexed flowrates, 1 l/min/kg and 2 l/min/kg. Pressure and lung volume were continuously measured during simulated breathing. For constant simulated patient effort, no statistically significant change in tidal volume was measured between baseline and lower or higher HFNC flowrates, nor was there any significant difference in tidal volume between air and heliox. Tracheal pressure increased with increasing HFNC flow rate, and was highly variable between airway replicas. Higher pressures were measured for air versus heliox. For air supplied at 2 l/min/kg, average airway pressures in excess of 4 cm H2O were generated, with positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ranging from 2.5 to nearly 12 cm H2O across the replicas. A predictive correlation for PEEP was proposed based on supplied gas density and flow velocities exiting the cannula and nares, and was able to account for a portion of variability between airway replicas (R2 = 0.913). Additionally, PEEP was well correlated with, and predictive of, expiratory peak pressure (R2 = 0.939) and average inspiratory pressure (R2 = 0.944).

Abstract
RATIONAL This study aims at describing the use of bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) in infants with severe bronchiolitis. WORKING HYPOTHESIS The use of BiPAP in infants with bronchiolitis may be associated with a worst outcome. STUDY DESIGN A single-center retrospective study performed from October 2013 to April 2016. METHODOLOGY All infants from 1 day to 6 months of age admitted in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) were included if they had a clinical diagnosis of bronchiolitis and if they required any type of noninvasive ventilation (NIV), including high flow nasal cannula, continuous positive airway pressure and BiPAP at admission in PICU. There was no local written protocol regarding the ventilator management during the study. RESULTS Overall, 252 infants (median age 45 (26-72) days) were included in the study and 110 infants (44%) were supported by BiPAP at admission. More infants were born preterm in the group of patients supported by BiPAP at admission. No complication related to NIV occurred. Patients in the BiPAP group had a longer duration of noninvasive support as well as a longer PICU length of stay. However, hospital length of stay did not differ according to the type of respiratory support at admission. CONCLUSION The use of BiPAP was not associated with endotracheal intubation, however it was associated with increased PICU length of stay and increased duration of NIV.

Abstract
RATIONAL This study aims to describe the current weaning practices from any type of noninvasive support in infants with bronchiolitis, in terms of weaning procedures, weaning initiation and weaning failure criteria. WORKING HYPOTHESIS No information regarding the weaning practices is currently available and there may be a wide variability of strategies. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional electronic survey. METHODOLOGY The survey was distributed to physicians from five French-speaking countries with key roles in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs). RESULTS Responses were obtained from 29 PICUs from five French-speaking countries. A written weaning protocol was available in three pediatric centers (10%) and nurses had a key role in the weaning process in 72% of centers. The sudden weaning was the most commonly used procedure, no matter the type of noninvasive ventilatory (NIV) support. The most commonly used criteria for weaning initiation and weaning failure were the degree of respiratory distress, the occurrence of apneas and the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2 ). The thresholds commonly used for weaning initiation criteria were (a) none or a slight use of accessory muscles; (b) FiO2 less than equal to 40%, (c) respiratory rate less than 60 per minute, (d) no apnea, (e) blood pH more than 7.30, and (f) partial pressure of venous carbon dioxide less than equal to 50 mm Hg. CONCLUSION In infants with bronchiolitis requiring NIV support, the sudden weaning procedure was the most commonly used strategy. We observed a certain consensus on criteria for weaning initiation. These findings should help in building nurse-driven weaning protocols, but prospective studies remain needed to assess the best weaning strategy in infants with bronchiolitis-related acute respiratory failure.

Abstract
AIM Our aim was to determine the effectiveness and safety of a procalcitonin-guided protocol to decrease antibiotic use in infants with severe bronchiolitis. METHODS This prospective, observational study was conducted at the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu from 2010 to 2017. Patients under the age of one were included if they were diagnosed with bronchiolitis, had a suspected bacterial infection and were admitted to the paediatric intensive care unit. A procalcitonin-guided protocol was established in 2014, and two cohorts were compared before and after implementation: 340 in 2010-2014 and 366 in 2015-2017. RESULTS We recruited 706 patients (58.6% male) with a median age of 47 days and an interquartile range of 25.0-100.2. The rate for antibiotic use was 79.9%, and this differed before and after implementation (88.2% vs 72.1%, P = .003). Antibiotic stewardship and withdrawal decisions were higher after implementation (22.3% vs 36.4%, P = .005). The length of antibiotic treatment was also different between the two periods (8.65 ± 4.8 days vs 5.05 ± 3.18 days, P = .023). No adverse outcomes were observed due to the implementation of the protocol. CONCLUSION The implementation of a procalcitonin-guided protocol seems to lead to a safe and general decrease in antibiotic use in paediatric patients with severe bronchiolitis.

Abstract
Objective To describe the characteristics and evolution of patients with bronchiolitis admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit, and compare treatment pre- and post-publication of the American Academy of Pediatrics clinical practice guide. Design A descriptive and observational study was carried out between September 2010 and September 2017. Setting Pediatric intensive care unit. Patients Infants under one year of age with severe bronchiolitis. Interventions Two periods were compared (2010–14 and 2015–17), corresponding to before and after modification of the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for the management of bronchiolitis in hospital. Main variables Patient sex, age, comorbidities, severity, etiology, administered treatment, bacterial infections, respiratory and inotropic support, length of stay and mortality. Results A total of 706 patients were enrolled, of which 414 (58.6%) males, with a median age of 47 days (IQR 25–100.25). Median bronchiolitis severity score (BROSJOD) upon admission: 9 points (IQR 7–11). Respiratory syncytial virus appeared in 460 (65.16%) patients. The first period (2010–14) included 340 patients and the second period (2015–17) 366 patients. More adrenalin and hypertonic saline nebulizations and more corticosteroid treatment were administered in the second period. More noninvasive ventilation and less conventional mechanical ventilation were used, and less inotropic support was needed, with no significant differences. The antibiotherapy rate decreased significantly (p = 0.003). Conclusions Despite the decrease in antibiotherapy, the use of nebulizations and glucocorticoids in these patients should be limited, as recommended by the guide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bronchiolitis is a common lower respiratory tract infection that affects infants and young children. Because of variability in physician practice, inpatient management varies among pediatricians. In 2014, the Canadian Pediatric Society published national guidelines aimed at standardizing the inpatient management of this illness, which included recommending against the need for antibiotics for most patients. The study objective was to evaluate antibiotic prescription and supportive investigations for inpatient management of bronchiolitis before and after the publication of national guidelines. METHODS This study was a single-center retrospective chart review of inpatients with bronchiolitis. We included healthy children 1 to 24 months of age who were admitted from November 2011 to October 2016. Those admitted before December 2014 were analyzed in the preguidelines cohort; the remaining, in the postguidelines cohort. The main outcome was antibiotic prescription. The secondary outcome was the frequency of chest radiographs, nasopharyngeal swabs, and blood cultures. RESULTS A total of 131 patients were included in the first cohort; 71, in the second cohort. The rates of antibiotic initiation were almost equal in both cohorts (∼44%; P = .98). More antibiotics were discontinued during hospitalization in the second cohort compared with the first cohort (10% vs 20%; P = .001). Significantly fewer patients were discharged with antibiotics in the second cohort (31% vs 16%; P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed a reduction in antibiotic use after the release of national guidelines, illustrating that antibiotic prescribing practices can change. However, there is still a pressing need for local initiatives to continue to reduce the unnecessary use of antibiotics within the pediatric setting.

Abstract
CONTEXT Respiratory virus (RV) detection tests are commonly used in hospitalized children to diagnose viral acute respiratory infection (ARI), but their clinical utility is uncertain. OBJECTIVES To systematically review and meta-analyze the impact of RV test results on antibiotic consumption, ancillary testing, hospital length of stay, and antiviral use in children hospitalized with severe ARI. DATA SOURCES Seven medical literature databases from 1985 through January 2018 were analyzed. STUDY SELECTION Studies in children <18 years old hospitalized for severe ARI in which the clinical impact of a positive versus negative RV test result or RV testing versus no testing are compared. DATA EXTRACTION Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts; extracted data; and assessed study quality. RESULTS We included 23 studies. High heterogeneity did not permit an overall meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses by age, RV test type, and viral target showed no difference in the proportion of patients receiving antibiotics between those with positive versus negative test results. Stratification by study design revealed that RV testing decreased antibiotic use in prospective cohort studies (odds ratio = 0.58; 95% confidence interval: 0.45-0.75). Pooled results revealed no conclusive impact on chest radiograph use (odds ratio = 0.71; 95% confidence interval: 0.48-1.04). Results of most studies found that positive RV test results did not impact median hospital length of stay, but they may decrease antibiotic duration. Nineteen (83%) studies were at serious risk of bias. LIMITATIONS Low-quality studies and high clinical and statistical heterogeneity were among the limitations. CONCLUSIONS Higher-quality prospective studies are needed to determine the impact of RV testing on antibiotic use in children hospitalized with severe ARI.

Abstract
AIM Meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials on infant bronchiolitis do not support medication. We summarised the current data and evaluated the real-life use of medication for infants treated for bronchiolitis in hospitals, including paediatric wards, emergency departments and paediatric intensive care units (PICU). METHODS We searched PubMed for studies published from 2009 to 2018 that provided data on the real-life use of adrenaline, salbutamol, corticosteroids or antibiotics for infants hospitalised for bronchiolitis. RESULTS The review identified 10 such studies and showed substantial variations in medication for infant bronchiolitis between different countries and even between different hospitals in the same country. A multi-centre study including 38 hospitals in eight countries reported that a mean of 29% infants admitted for bronchiolitis received drugs without any research-based evidence on their effectiveness, ranging from 9% in Australia and New Zealand to 58% in Spain and Portugal. In addition, an American prospective multi-centre study of 16 PICUs reported that bronchodilators were used by a mean of 60%, corticosteroids by 33% and antibiotics by 63%. Other studies reported that higher ages and a history of wheezing increased the use of medication. CONCLUSION There were substantial variations in bronchiolitis treatment between, and within, different countries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe antibiotic prescribing practices during the first 2 days of mechanical ventilation among previously healthy young children with respiratory syncytial virus-associated lower respiratory tract infection and evaluate associations between the prescription of antibiotics at onset of mechanical ventilation with clinical outcomes. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Forty-six children's hospitals in the United States. PATIENTS Children less than 2 years old discharged between 2012 and 2016 with an International Classification of Diseases diagnosis of respiratory syncytial virus-associated lower respiratory tract infection, no identified comorbid conditions, and receipt of mechanical ventilation. INTERVENTIONS Antibiotic prescription during the first 2 days of mechanical ventilation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS We compared duration of mechanical ventilation and hospital length of stay between children prescribed antibiotics on both of the first 2 days of mechanical ventilation and children not prescribed antibiotics during the first 2 days of mechanical ventilation. We included 2,107 PICU children with respiratory syncytial virus-associated lower respiratory tract infection (60% male, median age of 1 mo [interquartile range, 1-4 mo]). The overall proportion of antibiotic prescription on both of the first 2 days of mechanical ventilation was 82%, decreasing over the study period (p = 0.004) and varying from 36% to 100% across centers. In the bivariate analysis, antibiotic prescription was associated with a shorter duration of mechanical ventilation (6 d [4-9 d] vs 8 d [6-11 d]; p < 0.001) and a shorter hospital length of stay (11 d [8-16 d] vs 13 d [10-18 d]; p < 0.001). After adjustment for center, demographics, and vasoactive medication prescription, antibiotic prescription was associated with a 1.21-day shorter duration of mechanical ventilation and a 2.07-day shorter length of stay. Ultimately, 95% of children were prescribed antibiotics sometime during hospitalization, but timing, duration, and antibiotic choice varied markedly. CONCLUSIONS Although highly variable across centers and decreasing over time, the practice of instituting antibiotics after intubation in young children with respiratory syncytial virus-associated lower respiratory tract infection was associated with a shortened clinical course after adjustment for the limited available covariates. A prudent approach to identify and optimally treat bacterial coinfection is needed.

Abstract
Introduction: Antibiotics are frequently prescribed to children in the community and in nosocomial settings, mainly because of lower respiratory tract infections(LRTIs), which include influenza, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and tuberculosis, in addition to bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis lung disease. It is important to note, however, that more than 50% of these prescriptions are unnecessary or inappropriate. Areas covered: The current choice of antimicrobial therapy for etiological agents of LRTIs is examined and discussed considering each type of LRTI. Expert opinion: There is a clear need for the appropriate utilization of antibiotics in children. Therefore, accurate drug selection and choice of best dosage and duration of the antibacterial treatment are important to optimize the treatment of LRTIs. It's fundamental to bear in mind that children differ from adults in how LRTIs manifest and evolve not only because of the diversity in the immunological profiles but also the fundamental age-related differences in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination of drugs. Since comprehensive antibiotic guideline recommendations for the treatment of pediatric LRTIs are generally lacking, there is an undeniable need for the introduction of pediatric antimicrobial stewardship programmes in both community and hospital settings.

Mecklin M, Heikkilä P, Korppi M. The change in management of bronchiolitis in the intensive care unit between 2000 and 2015. Eur J Pediatr 2018; 177:1131-1137. [PMID: 29766326 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-018-3156-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2017] [Revised: 03/19/2018] [Accepted: 04/16/2018] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
This case-control study evaluated interventions for bronchiolitis in relation to time in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) during a 16-year surveillance period. Together, 105 infants aged < 12 months were treated for bronchiolitis in the PICU, and for them, we selected 210 controls admitted for bronchiolitis closest to cases. We collected data on treatments in the PICU, at the ward and in the emergency department for three periods: years 2000-2005, 2006-2010, and 2011-2015. Median hospital length of stay for PICU patients were 7 days (interquartile range 5-12), 5 days (4-8) and 8 days (4-12.5, p = 0.127), respectively. By time, the use of inhaled beta-agonist (68 vs. 44 vs. 38%, p = 0.019) and systemic corticosteroids (29 vs. 15 vs. 5%, p = 0.019) decreased, but that of racemic adrenaline (59 vs. 78 vs. 84%, p = 0.035) and hypertonic saline (0 vs. 0 vs. 54%, p < 0.001) inhalations increased in the PICU. Similar changes were seen at the ward. In the PICU, non-invasive ventilation therapies increased significantly, but intubation rates did not decline.Conclusion: Beta-agonists and systemic corticosteroids were used less by time in intensive care for infant bronchiolitis, but the use of hypertonic saline and racemic adrenaline increased, though their effectiveness has been questioned. What is Known: • Until now, studies have shown which treatments do not work in bronchiolitis, and so, there is no consensus how infants with bronchiolitis should be treated. In particular, there is no consensus on different interventions in intensive care for bronchiolitis. What is New: • During 2000-2015, treatments with inhaled beta-agonists and systemic corticosteroids decreased but treatments with racemic adrenaline and hypertonic saline inhalations increased in intensive care for bronchiolitis. Similar changes were seen at the ward. Though non-invasive ventilation therapies increased, the intubation rate did not decline.
