Abstract
Hypoxaemia is a common, important complication of critical illness in childhood that may increase their risk for mortality. It is observed in a variety of diseases - both respiratory and non-respiratory. Acute respiratory conditions, particularly severe pneumonia, bronchiolitis and asthma, are associated with hypoxaemia. Non-respiratory causes of hypoxaemia include malaria, severe sepsis, seizures, coma and severe anaemia. In acute CNS disorders, such as meningitis, encephalitis, status epilepticus and trauma, hypoxaemia may occur because of reduced respiratory drive, apnoea or lung conditions such as pulmonary aspiration or co-existent pneumonia. As each of these conditions may be associated with emergency signs, hypoxaemia should be considered when assessing and managing children with these signs. We present the evidence for recommendations on the oxygen use and delivery for critical ill children.
