26. Emergency care interventions for paediatric severe acute respiratory infections in low- and middle-income countries: A systematic review and narrative synthesis
CEUs: 2 Clinical
Average read time: 75 minutes.
Short Summary of the Article:
This article systematically reviews emergency care interventions for pediatric severe acute respiratory infections (SARIs) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It examines the effectiveness of various interventions like respiratory support, antibiotics, chest physiotherapy, and nebulized treatments. The article concludes that respiratory support interventions, particularly oxygen delivery, have the strongest evidence for improving clinical outcomes, while other interventions show mixed results or require further research. The article also highlights the need for further research on CPAP in diverse settings.
Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this activity, you should have an understanding of:
- The types of emergency care interventions most effective for pediatric SARIs in LMICs.
- The benefits and limitations of respiratory support systems like oxygen delivery and CPAP for children with severe pneumonia.
- The application of the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and Behavior Change Wheel (BCW) to design and adjust strategies for improving CPG adherence in various healthcare settings.
