Influence of Patient Positioning During Nasal Lavage (nasal lavage)
Influence of Patient Positioning During Nasal Lavage in Pediatric Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Acute upper respiratory tract infections are the primary cause of pediatric visits and hospitalizations in young children. Nasal congestion and mucus accumulation often cause discomfort, feeding difficulties, and respiratory distress in infants. Nasal lavage using normal saline solution is widely recommended to clear upper airways; however, there is limited evidence regarding the optimal patient posture during irrigation.
This study aims to determine whether patient position-supine (lying on the back) versus sitting (tilted 10 degrees forward)-improves the effectiveness of nasal cavity clearance in children aged 0 to 2 years.
A randomized, parallel, age-stratified clinical trial will be conducted at Pediatric Emergency Department and in Pediatric Hospitalization at Universitary La Paz hospital. Participants will be pediatric patients with mild-to-moderate upper respiratory symptoms requiring nasal lavage as part of their routine care.

Beskrivning
Inclusion Criteria:
- Pediatric patients aged 0 to 2 years requiring nasal lavage in emergency or hospitalization settings for symptoms related to upper respiratory tract infections
- Modified TAL score <= 8 points (mild to moderate)
- Stable Pediatric Assessment Triangle (PAT), or if unstable, attributable exclusively to respiratory distress while maintaining adequate coloration and normal appearance
- Informed consent signed by parents
Exclusion Criteria:
- Absolute contraindications for nasal lavage (recent unstabilized nasal fractures, acute traumatic brain injury, swallowing disorders, ineffective cough or inability to cough, severe active nasal hemorrhage, unresolved tympanic membrane perforation, severe craniofacial anomalies)
- Post-operative period following recent nasal surgery (< 6 months since the surgical intervention)
- Chronic respiratory pathologies or chronic congenital pulmonary diseases (such as cystic fibrosis)
- Severe physical limitations preventing the safe adoption of any of the studied postures, or severe alteration of consciousness level/cognitive impairment preventing comprehension of instructions and collaboration.
- Patients who do not fully participate in the intervention.
