Acute bronchiolitis

This study tested whether placing infants under 6 months with moderate to severe bronchiolitis on their stomachs (prone position) while on high-flow oxygen could reduce the need for more intensive breathing support. A total of 452 infants in critical care were randomly assigned t…

This study measured the peak tidal inspiratory flow (PTIF)—how fast infants breathe in—in 50 babies under 6 months old with moderate to severe viral bronchiolitis. Researchers used a spirometer to record 20 breaths per infant within 24 hours of hospital admission. The goal was to…

This study looked at 46 infants under 2 years old in the pediatric ICU with severe bronchiolitis. Researchers used a heart ultrasound measure called TAPSE to see if it could predict how long babies needed intensive care. The goal was to find a simple test that helps doctors plan …

This completed study analyzed how doctors in different hospitals treat babies under 2 years old with bronchiolitis, a common lung infection. Researchers looked at 127 children to see if differences in care led to different outcomes, like length of hospital stay. The goal was to u…

This study looked at 20 infants with severe bronchiolitis (a serious lung infection) to compare two types of breathing support: CPAP and NiPPV. The goal was to see which method reduces the effort of breathing more effectively. Researchers measured breathing effort using a special…

This study looked at whether placing infants with severe bronchiolitis on their stomach (prone) while on breathing support reduces their work of breathing. Sixteen babies under 6 months old were randomly assigned to start either on their back or stomach, then switched after an ho…
