Summary

This study looked at whether placing infants under 6 months with severe bronchiolitis on their stomach (prone position) reduces the effort needed to breathe. Sixteen babies on breathing support were randomly placed face-down or face-up, and their breathing work and lung pressure were measured. The goal was to see if this simple position change could make breathing easier for these infants.
