Background:
In Finland, the pandemic A(H1N1)v-influenza was experienced in late 2009.
Material And Methods:
A(H1N1)v-patients hospitalized in Oulu University Hospital were evaluated.
Results:
Altogether, 159 A(H1N1)v-patients, including 37 children, were hospitalized. Their median age was 35. Eighteen (11 %) patients required admission to ICU; three of them died. As many as 62% of the patients suffered from radiologically confirmed pneumonia. The incidences of hospitalization, ICU care and death were 40,5, 4,6 and 0,8 per 100000, respectively.
Conclusions:
Despite the low mortality rate, a rather high number of patients required hospitalization. Findings in chest radiography were common and prominent.

Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...

Ensure that patients are monitored continuously for their response to therapy, including changes in...
Pneumonia IV: Management
Bacterial Pneumonia Treatment
For bacterial pneumonia, antibiotics serve as the cornerstone of therapy. Initial treatment often begins with empirical antibiotics, tailored to the anticipated causative organism and adjusted based on culture results. Key antibiotic choices include:
Acute Respiratory Failure-II
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:
