Multicenter Study[Mechanical ventilation on paediatric intensive care units in Czech Republic].
The aims of this study were to evaluate the incidence of mechanically ventilated children in participating units, to find out the demographic data of the patients, to evaluate ventilator settings and to assess the mortality of ventilated children. ⋯ Children on mechanical ventilation create 23 % of all patients admitted to paediatric intensive care units. The severity of illness and length of stay were twofold against mean values. Mortality rate was 3.5 % and hypoxia was not a cause of death in any patient.
