High-flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy in Hospitalized Infant With Moderate-to-severe Bronchiolitis (BRONCHOPTI)

April 27, 2018 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

High-flow Nasal Oxygen Therapy (Optiflow) in Hospitalized Infant With Moderate-to-severe Bronchiolitis: Multicentric Randomized Controlled Trial

Over the last decade, high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFN) has emerged as a new method to provide respiratory support in children with moderate to severe bronchiolitis.

However, any randomized clinical trial (RCT) have demonstrated that earlier support with HFN is superior to standard care including low -flow nasal oxygen therapy to reduce the risk of acute respiratory failure requiring non invasive (or tracheal) ventilation and subsequently the need of PICU transfer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
patient in treatment failure in each group (control or HFN) requiring non-invasive (or endotracheal) ventilation and ventilation-support free days
Time Frame: Up to an average of 7 days
Treatment failure is defined if one or more following criteria are met: refractory apnea (> 3/h), oxygen requirement in HFN therapy arm exceeds fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) ≥ 40 % or oxygen requirement in standard nasal oxygen therapy arm exceeds >2l/min to maintain oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥94 %), m-WCAS score increased compared to admission at H6 and/or > 5 , PaCO2 (H6 ) increased compared to admission and > 60-70 mmHg.
Up to an average of 7 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure

at the end of the follow up (an average of 7 days)
Oxgen-support free days
Time Frame: at the end of the follow up (an average of 7 days)
