Bacterial co-infection of the respiratory tract in ventilated children with bronchiolitis; a retrospective cohort study

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

In this large study, bacterial co-infections occurred in more than a third of children requiring invasive ventilation for bronchiolitis and were associated with longer PICU stay and mechanical ventilation. These findings support a clinical trial of antibiotics to test whether antibiotics can reduce duration of PICU stay.
