What are the Clinical Manifestations of VILI in Children?
The clinical manifestations of VILI in pediatric patients can vary but often include worsening respiratory distress, hypoxemia, hypercapnia, and decreased lung compliance. Radiographic findings may show diffuse alveolar damage, atelectasis, or pneumothorax. Other symptoms might include increased work of breathing, decreased breath sounds, and increased need for oxygen and ventilatory support.
