Plasma interleukin-8 is higher in children with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation or length of stay. a Comparison of plasma IL-8 in children with acute respiratory failure who were mechanically ventilated for ≤ 7 days to those mechanically ventilated for > 7 days; p < 0.01 on each day. b Comparison of plasma IL-8 in children with acute respiratory failure who were in the PICU for ≤ 14 days to those in the PICU for > 14 days; p < 0.01 on each day. Day 0 is the day of intubation. The number inside each bar indicates the number of plasma samples analyzed from the indicated days.
