简要总结
Acute respiratory distress is a leading cause of PICU admissions. Bronchiolitis is among the leading
causes of hospitalization for infants and young children worldwide. In India, seasonal outbreaks lead to a
surge of critically ill infants. Studies from tertiary centers in India report that over one-third of
hospitalized bronchiolitis cases requiring Paediatric admission. These critically ill infants frequently need
advanced respiratory support (e.g. non-invasive ventilation or intubation), contributing to prolonged
hospital stays (median ~5–6 days) and notable mortality (~8%) in severe cases1. This substantial disease
burden places significant strain on healthcare resources in resource-limited settings.Low- and middleincome
countries (LMICs) like India face constraints in critical care infrastructure – PICU beds,
ventilators, and trained personnel are limited relative to the paediatric population in need. Optimal
allocation of these resources is crucial.

groups as a quantitative outcome of resource use.
时间窗: 18 months
次要结局
- Duration of Oxygen Therapy Total time the child remained on supplemental(oxygen of any kind. This ends when the child is weaned off O2 completely. A shorter oxygen)
- Adverse events or Complications.Any notable complications related to oxygen therapy.(For HFNC nasal mucosal injury, epistaxis, abdominal distension and vomiting (from high flow), aspiration .)
- Direct cost of treatment (exploratory) we will perform an approximate cost analysis using(hospital accounting data calculating oxygen consumption per patient (liters of Oxygen used, given)
