Filter by:The goal of this clinical study is to compared two different strategies to end high flow nasal cannula treatment in acute bronchiolitis. This study compared the immediate ending of high flow treatment to weaning strategy, in which the flow rate is gradually decreased. The aim is to assess if the immediate ending shortens the hospitalization time and whether it is a safe strategy.
Bronchiolitis affects 460,000 children in France per year. The French study called "Bronkilib 2" found a positive effect of chest physiotherapy treatment. This study and the work done so far in chest physiotherapy prompt us to recommend respiratory physiotherapy with slow passive expiratory handlings in the treatment of the moderate bronchiolitis of infants. But, further studies are still needed to corroborate these early findings. The Cochrane is recommending new high-level proof studies on passive expiratory techniques to conclude about their benefits. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the bronchial drainage procedure carried out during chest physiotherapy sessions, during episodes of moderate to acute bronchiolitis in infants aged 3 to 24 months. Currently, the French High Authority for Health recommends performing physiotherapy sessions for the symptomatologic treatment of acute bronchiolitis in infants - in cases where it could be described as moderate - but few studies have demonstrated the efficacy of this treatment. The study included infants with a first or a second episode of bronchiolitis classified as moderate according to the Wang's Respiratory score. The treated group will receive chest physiotherapy treatment using slow extended and passive expiratory handlings. The control group will not receive physiotherapy treatment. The study will be conducted during 4 days. The clinical symptoms and the general health condition of the infant will be evaluate by questionnaires.
Acute bronchiolitis is a common viral infection in infants mainly due to RSV and rhinovirus. Biomarkers can be useful for predicting its severity. The serum CC16 is a marker of epithelial aggression. Its rate increase during RSV bronchiolitis in infants less than 7 months. It could be an early predictive biomarker of the severity of acute bronchiolitis, and secondarily for the development of asthma. Two other markers of airway aggression seem to increase during acute bronchiolitis: serum SP-D protein and serum soluble receptor sRAGE.
The purpose of this study is to determine Fractional exhaled Nitric-Oxide (FeNO)levels and blood cytokines during acute bronchiolitis, and to seek for correlation between these markers and future development of asthma.
