Nasal Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Reducing Respiratory Distress in Children With Bronchiolitis

Effectiveness of Nasal Bubble Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Reducing Respiratory Distress in Comparison to Standard Care in Children With Bronchiolitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure in reducing respiratory distress in children with bronchiolitis

In this study, after taking consent from caretakers, patients of brochiolitis will be randomly assigned to either a standard care group or a nasal continuous positive airway pressure group. Both groups will be followed for respiratory distress. Respiratory distress will be compared by using Seattle sore of respiratory distress.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Children presenting with history of cough, and tachypnea and wheezing on clinical examination

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients needing mechanical ventilation at the time of admission
• Patients whose caretakers refuse written informed consent
• Patients having consolidation on chest X-Ray
