This study will investigate the efficacy of a novel air purification technology, Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO), has on pediatric patients hospitalized for respiratory distress. The study will take place at Mercyhealth Hospital - Rockton Avenue where all 23 pediatric rooms will be outfitted with portable PECO air purifying units. The main outcomes are the length of stay and progression to ICU, which will be compared with historical controls.
The goal of this study is to assess whether using PECO to purify air in a hospital can improve health outcomes for pediatric patients with respiratory distress.
The results of this study will be used in three primary ways:
There are no plans to repeat this study with other hospital partners
