Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare the immediate effects of retrograde rhinopharyngeal clearance with nasopharyngeal aspiration in children admitted with acute viral bronchiolitis. The investigators selected children, up to 12 months old, admitted for acute viral bronchiolitis. Patients were divided in aspiration group (AG), submitted to nasopharyngeal aspiration, and clearance group (CG), submitted to retrograde rhinopharyngeal clearance with physiological solution (0.9%) instillation (RRC) technique. In both groups children were evaluated three times in the same day in order to verify cardiorespiratory parameters, clinical score of respiratory dysfunction and adverse effects.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of two airway clearance techniques; Intrapulmonary Percussive Ventilation and Assisted Autogenic Drainage in hospitalized infants under the age of 2 with acute viral bronchiolitis.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that heated, humidified, high-flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) is superior to hypertonic saline solution (HSS) in the treatment of moderate acute viral bronchiolitis in infants in improving respiratory distress and comfort and reducing length of hospital stay (LOS) and admission to Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nebulized hypertonic saline solution reduces the admission rate 48 hours after initial treatment in the emergency department, when compared to normal saline solution (control).
The present study investigated the influence of respiratory affections on the heart rate variability (HRV) of paediatric patients. We have hypothesised that respiratory physiotherapy would promote a beneficial effect on the cardiac autonomic modulation. Twenty-four children, who were divided into respiratory disease group (RG) and control (CG) groups, were studied. Analysis of HRV was performed with the RG in the dorsal decubitus position during four different moments: basal record (30 minutes); 5 minutes after respiratory physiotherapy by means of airway clearance techniques (10-minute record); 5 minutes after nasotracheal suction (10-minute record); and 40 minutes after nasotracheal suction (30-minute record). CG group was submitted to the same protocol, except nasotracheal suction, which was not performed due to ethical reasons.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether nebulized 3% hypertonic saline (HS) improves respiratory distress in children 2-23 months presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute bronchiolitis with persistent respiratory distress after initial therapy with a trial of nebulized albuterol.
Oro- or nasogastric tube feeding is safe and may be more physiologic than intravenous (IV) fluids in hospitalized infants with acute viral bronchiolitis.
The purpose of this study is planned to investigate whether frequently inhaled hypertonic saline (HS) can relieve symptoms and signs faster than normal saline (NS) and shorten length of stay (LOS) significantly for moderately to severely ill infants with bronchiolitis without apparent adverse effects.
The purpose of this study is to verify the effectiveness of chest physiotherapy (actual versus conventional) on respiratory distress in infants with acute viral bronchiolitis.
Inhaled 3% hypertonic saline (HS) administered every 2-8 hours to infants admitted to hospital with viral bronchiolitis has been shown to improve airway clearance and reduces length of stay. Hypothesis: When infants first present to the ER, frequent administration of HS over a brief time period will provide significant symptom improvement such that the need for hospital admission will be reduced. Objective: To determine in a randomized, controlled and double-blind fashion if the short term intensive use of inhaled 3% hypertonic saline (HS) in the Emergency Room (ER) can reduce the rate of hospital admission for infants presenting with moderately severe viral bronchiolitis.
