Clinical Trial Summary

Infants with viral bronchiolitis are currently treated with oxygen therapy if oxygen saturation is low. In earlier observational clinical studies, the use of high flow nasal cannulae therapy in infants with bronchiolitis has been associated with a decreased rate of intubation and intensive care. This study is a randomized controlled trial in two pediatric university hospitals in Finland comparing high flow nasal cannulae therapy to usual oxygen therapy in infants with bronchiolitis.


Clinical Trial Description

Infants with viral bronchiolitis are currently treated with oxygen therapy if oxygen saturation is low. In earlier observational clinical studies, the use of high flow nasal cannulae therapy in infants with bronchiolitis has been associated with a decreased rate of intubation and intensive care. This study is a randomized controlled trial in five pediatric university hospitals in Finland comparing high flow nasal cannulae therapy to usual oxygen therapy in infants with bronchiolitis.

The investigators will recruit 160 infants who require oxygen therapy (oxygen saturation <92%) during hospitalization due to a viral bronchiolitis. The participants are randomized to receive oxygen therapy either with high flow or ordinary nasal cannula.The infants are closely observed by study physicians for clinical parameters. The primary end point is treatment failure (need for change of respiratory support method). Secondary endpoints are respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (%) at specific measuring points, time from randomisation to end of oxygen therapy and time from randomisation to discharge. ;
