Predictors of succesful treatment with high flow therapy in infants and young children with respiratory insufficiency.

Short summary

In the fall of 2021 a major epidemic of Respiratory Syncytical Virus lead to hospitalization of many young children in need of respiratory support with either Continuate Positive Airway Pressure ( CPAP) or high flow therapy ( HFT). HFT is regarded a more pleasant treatment, yet not as effective as CPAP. The aim of the study is to investigate predictors of successful treatment with HFT. We conducted a retrospective journal audit of childen treated with CPAP or HFC between august 2021 and Februar

Rationale

To identify predictors of succesful treatment with high flow therapy.

Description of the cohort
