Acute Disease Respiratory Clinical Trial
Official title:
Use Of The "Acute Bronchiolitis Severity Scale" In Infants With Acute Respiratory Infection Susceptible To Outpatient Respiratory PhysiotherapyTreatment
Background. Acute respiratory infections in childhood have high incidence and morbimortality
rates, generating significant sanitary and social costs. Due to its diversity of
manifestations and clinical forms, the degree of severity varies widely.
Published acute respiratory infections assessment severity scales are mainly focused on acute
bronchiolitis, but there is no validated scale to evaluate the effects of respiratory
physiotherapy in acute respiratory infections in children.
Objective. To study the usefulness of the Acute Bronchiolitis Severity Scale to assess
children under 24 months suffering from acute respiratory infections susceptible to receive
outpatient respiratory physiotherapy treatment.
Methods. Pre-post assessment descriptive study using the Acute Bronchiolitis Severity Scale.
Children under 24 months suffering from acute respiratory infection will be evaluated during
the first outpatient respiratory physiotherapy treatment.
