Could stopping oxygen therapy earlier get bronchiolitis babies home sooner?

NCT ID NCT06321133

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study looks at two ways to end high flow nasal cannula treatment in infants with acute bronchiolitis. One group stops the high flow immediately, while the other gradually reduces it. The goal is to see if immediate stopping shortens hospital stays without causing more breathing problems or readmissions. About 50 infants will take part.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

High flow nasal cannula therapy

What this could lead to

If immediate stopping works, it could shorten hospital stays for infants with bronchiolitis, reducing stress on families and hospitals.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 infants. Immediate stopping might lead to more treatment failures or readmissions, so results may not be widely applicable.
