Viral Bronchiolitis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy and Safety of Chest Physiotherapy With Forced Expiratory Technique for Acute Bronchiolitis in Toddlers
The purpose of this study is to determine whether chest physiotherapy with forced expiratory technique reduces delay of healing in acute bronchiolitis of children between 15 days and 24 months of age.
Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory infection in infants, and the respiratory
condition leading to the majority of hospital admissions in young children. It is also
probably the most common serious illness of childhood lacking evidence-based treatment.
Evidence against the effectiveness of chest physiotherapy with vibration and postural
drainage techniques has been described but forced expiratory technique, as described in
France, has never been evaluated.
The investigators hypothesised that forced expiratory technique was able to reduce the
duration of respiratory distress.
Comparison(s): The investigators compare physiotherapy with forced expiratory techniques to
simple aspiration of naso-pharyngeal secretions.
