Respiratory syncytial virus: a pediatric nursing plan of care.
Thirty-three pediatric cases of respiratory syncytial viral (RSV) infections were treated at Providence Hospital's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), Anchorage, AK, between September 1987 and March 1988. Our 8-bed PICU nursing and respiratory therapy staff learned effective techniques in caring for patients with RSV. Our aim in this article is to share our approach in providing comprehensive care for patients with RSV infections.
