How is Increased WOB Managed in Pediatric Patients?
Management strategies depend on the underlying cause and severity of the condition:
Oxygen Therapy: Administering supplemental oxygen to improve oxygenation. Medications: Bronchodilators, steroids, and antibiotics may be used depending on the diagnosis. Hydration: Ensuring adequate fluid intake to prevent dehydration and support respiratory function. Mechanical Ventilation: In severe cases, non-invasive or invasive mechanical support may be required. Monitoring: Continuous observation and monitoring of vital signs and oxygen levels.
