Intensive care unit utilization after adoption of a ward-based high-flow nasal cannula protocol.
This study examined whether the adoption of ward-based high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) protocol in pediatric intensive care units (ICUs) reduced ICU utilization. This retrospective cohort study included infants aged 3 to 24 months hospitalized with bronchiolitis at hospitals in the Pediatric Health Information System database. There was a 93% response rate with the 44 hospitals contacted for the survey, of which 18 were categorized as non-adopting hospitals and 12 were categorized as adopting hospitals. Ward-based HFNC protocol data were included from the 2010-2011 and 2015-2016 respiratory seasons. Early protocols were paradoxically associated with increased ICU utilization.
