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.
