Systematic review and network meta-analysis of non-invasive respiratory support in paediatric patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure: a protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Acute hypoxic respiratory failure (AHRF) is one of the most common causes of admission to paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) around the world, posing a serious health concern for the global community. Non-invasive respiratory support (NRS) is considered effective in reducing mortality and intubation rates in adults. However, it is not yet clear whether NRS is beneficial for children and which NRS modalities are most effective. This network meta-analysis aims to summarise existing evidence and compare the efficacy and safety of different NRS modalities in paediatric patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure.

Methods and analysis

To identify randomised controlled trials, we will perform a systematic search of key databases (Embase, PubMed, CENTRAL, C
