Hypertonic Saline for Outpatient Bronchiolitis — Hypertonic  

Bronchiolitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Safety and Efficacy of Hypertonic Vrs. Normal Saline as Diluent of Salbutamol to Reduce Respiratory Distress in Outpatients With the Clinical Diagnosis of Bronchiolitis During the RSV Epidemic.

Clinical Trial Summary

We will study if small children who become ill with respiratory distress during the RSV epidemic are better relieved with salbutamol nebulizations diluted in hypertonic (3%), instead of normal (0.9%) saline.

Clinical Trial Description

In Santiago, Chile, a near collapse of health services is a notorious feature of every winter when vast numbers of small children line for attention because of respiratory distress caused by a probable RSV infection.

Our study will examine if nebulized salbutamol diluted in hypertonic (3%), instead of normal (0.9%) saline, provides better relief in outpatients.

If hypertonic saline proves safe and effective, the patients could be better managed and the pressure for attention diminished at a low cost, by a simple change in the saline ampule. ;
