Excerpt

There are no reproducible parameters to predict the duration of ventilation and length of stay for RSV-induced respiratory failure in previously healthy children. Tasker [1] found an alveolar–arterial gradient (AaDO2) > 400 with mean airway pressure (MAP) > 10 in the first 24 hours, and an AaDO2 > 300 with MAP > 10 over the subsequent 24 hours identified RSV-positive cases at risk of a prolonged stay. Another study found an AaDO2 > 253 in the first 24 hours to be the best predictor of developing severe disease with the need for a prolonged stay. …
