RESULT OF TREATMENT OF SEVERE PNEUMONIA IN CHILDREN FROM 1 MONTH TO FIVE YEARS OLD IN QUANG NINH PROVINCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional descriptive study on 81 children (aged 1 month to 5 years) with severe pneumonia hospitalized from July 2020 to June 2021 at Quang Ninh General Hospital and Quang Ninh Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital. Severe pneumonia was observed mainly in children under 12 months (77.7%). 75.3% of patients admitted to the hospital with grade II respiratory failure and 24.7% patients with grade I. 97.5% of patients were discharged with good results. The mean duration of fever was 2 ± 1.25 days. The duration of oxygen therapy was 2.6±1.69 days. The mean duration of parenteral antibiotic therapy was 7.9 ± 2.17 days. The average length of hospital stay was 8.2 ± 2.31 days. There were correlations between SpO2 on admission and duration of oxygen therapy, history of preterm birth and length of hospital stay (p < 0,05).
