Abstract
Background: Severe adenovirus pneumonia (SAP) in children is a critical illness characterized by a dysregulated hyperinflammatory response. The adjunctive role of early intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and optimized nursing care in modulating this inflammation remains a key area of clinical investigation.
Objective: This review evaluated current evidence on the efficacy of early IVIG administration and nursing process optimization (NPO) in improving clinical and biochemical outcomes for pediatric SAP.
Methods: A comprehensive analysis of clinical studies, including a pivotal randomized controlled trial was conducted. The review focuses on IVIG's immunomodulatory mechanisms and the impact of structured nursing interventions on care delivery.
Results: Early IVIG administration is associated with significant reductions in key inflammatory markers (CRP, PCT, IL-8) and leads to superior clinical outcomes, including shorter hospital stays, fever duration, and mechanical ventilation requirements, alongside lower complication rates. Concurrently, implementing NPO protocols dramatically reduces infusion-related adverse events.
Conclusion: The synergistic application of early IVIG and NPO presents a promising, holistic strategy for managing pediatric SAP by effectively modulating inflammation and enhancing the safety of care delivery. This combined approach warrants broader clinical adoption and further long-term study
