[Characteristics of the strategy of intensive care of unconscious children].
Three major groups can be distinguished among children hospitalized in resuscitation and intensive care wards in a state of unconsciousness: patients with bacterial meningitis and meningoencephalitis, viral meningoencephalitis, and noninfectious involvement of the NCS. Common strategy of treatment of these patients is characterized by some specific features: etiotropic antibiotic therapy in group 1 patients, antiviral drugs in group 2, and mainly symptomatic measures in group 3. Immunotherapy used in each of these groups is substitute in group 1, immunomodulating and immunostimulating in group 2 and even more so in group 3. Better results in group 1 are due to highly effective etiotropic antibiotics and drugs.
