Background: There are only a few reports of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients with SARS-CoV-2 in pediatrics. This study aimed to describe the characteristics of critically ill pediatric patients with COVID-19, the frequency of ARDS, ventilatory mechanics and results of prone position.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, observational study of patients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) between April 1 to September 30, 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the impact of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in hospitalized children at a tertiary care pediatric hospital in Mexico.
- ADR frequency ranged from 2.12% to 8.07%, predominantly affecting children with neoplasms in the Emergency Department, with serious ADRs noted in 81% of cases.
- The findings emphasize the critical need for improved pharmacovigilance programs in Mexican pediatric healthcare to address the morbidity and mortality associated with ADRs.
