Study Notes
Guidelines for Oxygen Therapy in Hospitalized Children
- Oxygen is commonly used in pediatric patients to treat hypoxemia caused by various acute conditions.
- The liberal use of oxygen in pediatric emergencies is common due to its perceived benefits, but it can lead to overuse and hyperoxia, causing oxygen toxicity and absorption atelectasis.
- The delivery of oxygen in pediatric patients requires appropriate selection of the delivery device, concentration, and flow for effective therapy to avoid both hypoxia and hyperoxia.
- The World Health Organization recommends oxygen delivery for SpO2 < 90% for children with signs of respiratory distress, while the American Heart Association suggests administering and weaning oxygen to achieve SpO2 between 94% and 99%.
- The study aimed to develop evidence-based guidelines to assist clinicians in providing the best treatment of hypoxemia while limiting the adverse effects of oxygen therapy in pediatric patients.
- The study conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed literature to develop clinical practice guidelines.
- The study focused on four key questions related to the utilization of oxygen therapy in hospitalized pediatric patients, including the use of oxygen tents and hoods, high-flow oxygen systems, humidification with supplemental oxygen, and disease-specific oxygenation targets.
- The committee for this endeavor was selected by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) leadership based on their experience, interest, and commitment to the process.
- The committee developed four recommendations to assist clinicians in the utilization of oxygen therapy in hospitalized children, including the recommendation against the use of oxygen hoods or tents, the recommendation for the use of high-flow nasal cannula therapy, the recommendation against the application of humidification with low-flow oxygen delivery, and the recommendation for targeting SpO2 90–97% for infants and children with bronchiolitis.
- The study involved experts affiliated with institutions such as Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Arkansas Children’s Hospital, and Liberty University.
- The study's authors disclosed their relationships and conflicts of interest with various companies and organizations.
- The study's corresponding author can be contacted at the Respiratory Therapy Department, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, for further information.
