Children aged {u2264} 15 years who developed PICU-related HAI were studied. Results: Fifty- seven patients (mean age 21 months) developed 106 episodes of PICU- related HAI. The HAI rate was 28%, equivalent to 58.85% per 1000 patient days. Ninety- eight (92.4%) episodes were MDR-HAI. The insertion of endotracheal tube (ETT) was a significant risk factor for MDR-HAI.
