NCT ID: NCT04677556 Completed - Clinical trials for Severe Viral Bronchiolitis

Work of Breathing in Bronchiolitis Under Non-invasive Ventilation

BRONCHIO-VNI
Start date: January 5, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Severe acute viral bronchiolitis is the leading cause of pediatric intensive care admission. The first-line recommended ventilation support is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which reduces the work of breathing (WOB) and improves gas exchange. Although Non invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NiPPV) is increasingly used in case of CPAP failure to avoid intubation, no study has yet evaluated if this support could effectively reduce the effort of breathing. Our hypothesis is that NiPPV could reduce WOB more effectively than CPAP alone, and might lead to reduce intubation in the most severe bronchiolitis. The purpose of this study is to compare WOB between CPAP and NiPPV, thanks to esophageal pressure measurement, in infants hospitalized for severe acute bronchiolitis.
