Abstract
Background: This study focuses on the analysis of Bronchial Obstructive Syndrome (BOS) in children hospitalised in 2019 at the Hospital de Clínicas. Specific data reveal a significant incidence of paediatric BBS, pointing to the need to understand its epidemiological, clinical and therapeutic aspects.
Objective: To determine the approach to obstructive bronchial syndrome in paediatric patients hospitalised at the Hospital de Clínicas in 2019.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective observational design was used. The sample included paediatric patients with a diagnosis of OBS in 2019, data collected from March to May 2023. Inclusion/exclusion criteria were rigorously applied. Measurement instruments such as patient charts were used to collect detailed data.
Results: The results revealed a prominent prevalence in children under 2 years of age (80.5%), with prominent respiratory symptoms (51.3% respiratory distress). The association with underlying pathologies was notable (46.2%). Common treatment included oxygen therapy (76.9%) and salbutamol (97.4%).
Conclusion: This detailed analysis underlines patterns consistent with the literature, highlighting the need for specific preventive strategies for children under 2 years of age. Furthermore, it highlights the importance of individualising the management of paediatric OBS, taking into account underlying pathologies and variability in clinical presentation.
