NCT ID NCT06842238
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study explores whether young children (ages 3 months to 2 years) with moderate bronchiolitis can be cared for at home through a structured home hospitalization program. Researchers will track how many children need oxygen therapy during home care and how well families manage. The goal is to see if home treatment is a safe and effective alternative to hospital stays.
