The number of patients is remarkable for this time of year. Many require oxygen, so that children must remain under observation, holding places for the recovery from surgery. To prevent cases, recommend air environments and to take measures similar to those of influenza A.







Some scheduled surgeries had to be suspended in the Paediatric the high number of respiratory patients.
From the Pediatric Hospital "Juan Pablo II" last week noticed a striking increase in the hospitalization of patients for this time of year and as explained, the majority of cases are due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). The number of cases is similar to that recorded during the winter season when influenza tables abound.
To treat patients with RSV, in many cases it is necessary to supply oxygen, so it must be admitted, taking up beds for recovery from surgery. To prevent further cases, recommend that parents maintain preventive measures similar to those of influenza A (H1N1), such as hygiene and ventilation of the rooms.
The warning by the growth of the number of respiratory cases was performed Friday by the director of "John Paul II, Albert Braverman, who noted that many beds were occupied by these patients, forcing them to postpone some elective surgery . In this regard, the pediatric infectious disease specialist who works in the hospital, Andrea Gajo Gane, told El Litoral that most of the pictures that are being addressed are caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus.
"The increase in patients is real, because we are seeing now taking the number of respiratory cases that are common only in June or July and particularly what we're seeing a lot is the respiratory syncytial, depending on patient characteristics, can be dangerous, "he explained. The treatment of these illnesses include the supply of oxygen, so that many children must remain hospitalized.
"It is a disease for which there is no antiviral, so you have to wait for the permanent evolution with nebulization and oxygen, so patients are admitted and that the services saturated," explained Gajo money.
To avoid these cases, the doctor recommended that parents take measures similar to those that spread during the epidemic of Influenza A (H1N1). "You have to keep ventilated and permanent hygienic hands," he said.
On the other hand, called to vaccinate children against the flu. "In particular, should take special care with children under 2 years because they need 2 doses, which are placed with 4 weeks apart," he said.

There is no sequence homology between influenza and RSV. The call for H1N1 vaccinations reveals the true nature of the cases that are filling ICU beds in Argentina.
