| Abstract |
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in infants. ARDS is a life-threatening condition that is characterized by severe hypoxemia, defined as PaO2 /FiO2 ratio <300 mmHg. This ratio is used in many trials as the sole oxygenation criterion for ARDS. Recently, however, it has been shown in adults with ARDS that FiO2 , independently of the PaO2 /FiO2 ratio predicts mortality. Because epidemiology and outcome of ARDS differ strongly between children and adults, we determined if FiO2 on admission (baseline FiO2 ) independently predicted the duration of mechanical ventilation (MV) and length of stay (LOS) in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in infants with RSV-induced ARDS. |
