Abstract
Respiratory monitoring is standard of care of ventilated children with respiratory failure. This by itself may be an indication for admission to a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) equipped with modern technology since continuous monitoring has the potential for alerting the clinician for sudden deteriorations and thus allow for timely intervention.
