BPAP in Pediatric Asthma Pilot Study

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators aim to study the effect and safety of bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) in children with moderate to severe asthma exacerbations - by examining the effects of early initiation of BPAP in pediatric patients who present to the emergency room with a moderate to severe asthma exacerbation. The study is interested in how early initiation of BPAP affects PRAM scores, vital signs, as well as the total duration of continuous albuterol in the patient population.

Clinical Trial Description

Asthma is the most common chronic illness of childhood. Bilevel positive airway pressure (BPAP) has been suggested as an adjunct therapy in the setting of moderate to severe asthma exacerbations. It is a form of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation that provides both an inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) as well as an expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP). The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of enrolling, randomizing, and completing data collection in at least 30 participants over a one-year period. The investigators will enroll children 5 to 17 years of age presenting to the emergency department with a moderate to severe asthma exacerbation. Eligible participants will be randomized into two groups: standard therapy (continuous albuterol) or standard therapy plus BPAP. The following data will be collected: Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure (PRAM) score at 0, 2 and 4 hours, vital signs at 0, 2 and 4 hours, rate of adverse events and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admissions, duration continuous albuterol, length of hospital stay, and rates of intubations or deaths. ;
