Description
A survey was undertaken to determine the nature and prevalence of ribavirin aerosol administration in pediatric hospitals. Ribavirin was administered in 79.4% of the respondents' hospitals. The majority used head hoods for aerosol administration. Ventilators were the primary method used by 6% of the respondents. This study demonstrates typical types of ribavirin exposure and the need to evaluate effects of chronic exposure.
