Inhaled Hypertonic Saline Use in the Emergency Department to Treat Acute Viral Bronchiolitis

5. januar 2015 oppdatert av: Mateus Deckers Leme, University of Sao Paulo

Study of the Effect of Inhaled 3% Hypertonic Saline Compared With Normal Saline (0,9%) for the Treatment of Acute Viral Bronchiolitis in a Short Stay Ward

Acute viral bronchiolitis is an extremely common childhood disease, responsible for approximately 17% of childhood admissions to hospital per year, with an annually cost that reaches U$ 500 million.

Despite being a well known disease among pediatricians, there are few, if any, effective treatment options apart from oxygen supplementation and adequate hydration.

The purpose of this study is to determine wether nebulized hypertonic saline (3%) is more effective than normal saline (0,9%) when used in repeated doses during the first 24 hours of in-hospital treatment.

Detaljert beskrivelse

Acute viral bronchiolitis is a lower airway infection, caused manly by Respiratory Syncytial Virus. Near 1% of children up to 2 years of age get it with sufficient severity to warrant hospital admission, with an annual cost of about U$ 500 million in the US, superior, for instance, than cystic fibrosis annual cost.

Despite the physiopathology and clinical course being well known among pediatricians, few therapeutical options other than adequate hydration and oxygen supplementation have proven to be effective Corticosteroids are not effective and bronchodilators are controversial, and treatment is still mostly empiric and lacking evidence.

In the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the use of nebulized hypertonic saline (HS) as a promising approach. The rational is that HS would help reducing edema and mucus viscosity, enhancing its rheologic properties. Recent studies suggest that HS could reduce up to 1 day (25%) of time until discharge in admitted patients. In the Emergency Department, HS was not superior to other forms of treatment, but these studies lack power and similarities to draw further conclusions. Also, time of treatment and ideal interval between doses are not known as yet.

To our knowledge, few if any studies have assessed patients with an intermediary (up to 24h) time of stay, namely a short stay ward attached to an emergency department. Thus, we have endeavoured to determine if repeated doses of nebulized HS are superior to nebulized normal saline (NS) during the first 24 hour of treatment, when considered: rate of admission, time until discharge, time until attain discharge criteria, and rate of readmission after discharge.

Furthermore, most studies use HS associated to a bronchodilator, because of a theoretical possibility that HS alone could induce bronchoconstriction and worsen respiratory symptoms. However, recent studies have shown that HS use without bronchodilators have not caused any worsening of symptoms in bronchiolitis patients. Therefore, we propose to study the effect of HS alone, without the adding of bronchodilators, which would minimize bias in the treatment group.

Våpen og intervensjoner

Deltakergruppe / Arm
Intervensjon / Behandling
Placebo komparator: Normal Saline
Patients will receive inhaled normal saline, initially with a 2 hour interval, and clinical evaluation prior to each inhalation. When they attain sat>94% AND respiratory rate <60 AND RDAI score <4, the interval between inhalations will be changed to 4 hours. If they maintain these criteria for a whole 4 hour interval, they are discharged. If they do not improve enough to be discharged in 24 hours from the first inhalation, they are considered as admitted to hospital.
Stråling: Chest X-Ray
Annen: Respiratory virus screening test
Immunofluorescence analysis of nasal aspirate
Eksperimentell: Hypertonic Saline
Patients will receive inhaled Hypertonic Saline 3%, initially with a 2 hour interval, and clinical evaluation prior to each inhalation. When they attain sat>94% AND respiratory rate <60 AND RDAI score <4, the interval between inhalations will be changed to 4 hours. If they maintain these criteria for a whole 4 hour interval, they are discharged. If they do not improve enough to be discharged in 24 hours from the first inhalation, they are considered as admitted to hospital.
Stråling: Chest X-Ray
Annen: Respiratory virus screening test

Legemiddel: Hypertonic Saline
Sodium Chloride 3% solution, previously prepared in 5 mL syringes.

Rate of Readmission After Discharge
Tidsramme: 5 days
The mere attendance to the Emergency Department will not be isolately considered, as it may be due to a scheduled reevaluation.
