Pneumonia fills the lung's alveoli with fluid, hindering oxygenation. The alveolus on the left is normal, whereas the one on the right is full of fluid from pneumonia. Pneumonia frequently starts as an upper respiratory tract infection that moves into the lower respiratory tract. [55] It is a type of pneumonitis (lung inflammation). [56]
Since August, there have been 145 reported cases of pneumonia in children ranging from 3 to 14 years old in Warren County, Ohio. ... Blue lips or fingers due to lack of oxygen.

Some hospitals in the U.S. are seeing an increase in RSV and higher levels of "walking pneumonia" among young children despite overall respiratory illness activity remaining low nationally.
High-flow therapy has been successfully implemented in infants and older children. The cannula improves the respiratory distress, the oxygen saturation, and the patient's comfort. Its mechanism of action is the application of mild positive airway pressure and lung volume recruitment. [16]
The Surviving Sepsis Campaign has recommended 30 mL/kg of fluid to be given in adults in the first three hours followed by fluid titration according to blood pressure, urine output, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation with a target mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 65 mmHg. [5] In children an initial amount of 20 mL/kg is reasonable in shock ...
A local staffer with the UN's global health program works to raise awareness of the risks and outlook of pneumonia in children. World Pneumonia Day: Respiratory illness in children can lead to ...
An updated Cochrane meta-analysis (2022) found low certainty evidence of benefit in oxygen saturation with prone positioning of mechanically ventilated preterm infants with ARDS but due to the increased risk of SIDS hospitalized infants and children should only be placed in this position with cardiorespiratory monitoring.
