Trial summary

Bronchiolitis is an acute lower airway infection caused by a viral infection. It is a major cause of winter admissions to pediatric wards. Accepted therapies include oxygen support and IV fluids, whereas other supportive therapies such as inhalations are of questionable benefit. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: IMLEMENTATION OF High Flow Nasal Cannulae Therapy FOR THE TREATMENT OF BRONCHIOLITIS IN A GENERAL PEDIATRIC WARD - A RETROSPECTIVE AND PROSPECTIVE CLINICAL TRIAL

Bronchiolitis is an acute lower airway infection caused by a viral infection. It is a major cause of winter admissions to pediatric wards. Accepted therapies include oxygen support and IV fluids, whereas other supportive therapies such as inhalations are of questionable benefit. Moderate to severe cases are a source of distress to patient, parents and medical staff often necessitating Pediatric Intensive Care Unit admission. Heated Humidified High Flow Nasal Cannula (HHHFNC) therapy has been shown lately to improve the work of breathing, oxygen saturation, and CO2 pressure (PCO2) values as well as decrease PICU admissions and intubation rates. We planned a prospective and retrospective study in order to check the feasibility of using HHHFNC in a primary pediatric ward and its effect on clinical well being, respiratory status and PICU admission.

Read the detailed description

Supportive Care, Single Group Assignment, Open Label, Non-Randomized, Efficacy Study

The research is devised as follows:

Prospective section: We will enroll children 0-2 years old, diagnosed with Bronchiolitis in our ward (Pediatrics C) during the months of November-March 2014-2016. Children will be evaluated according to a Bronchiolitis Severity Score devised by Wang and Co which was successfully used in previous research. Children answering criteria for moderate or severe Bronchiolitis according to Wang and Co. will be enrolled pending written consent by both parents.

Our prediction is to enroll a total of 200 children during the 2 winter seasons during 2014-2016.

Retrospective section: We will examine up to 200 cases of children aged 0-2 years hospitalized due to Bronchiolitis in Pediatrics C during 2014-2016 which were not enrolled in our research (due to lack of consent/unavailable HHHFNC etc.). We will compare clinical data and vital parameters between the groups treated with HHHFNC and those who were not.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Changes in Bronchiolitis Severity Score grade

    The grade in the Bronchiolitis Severity Score (0-12) reflects a general improvement or deterioration in any of these 5 parameters - oxygen saturation, breath rate, general appearance, degree of dyspnea and lung auscultation result.

    Measured: during the 20-40 hours of the protocol

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. CO2 pressure

    (in mmHg) measured by a transcutaneous sensor.

    Measured: during the 20-40 hours of the protocol

  2. Medical interventions

    Any medication given to the child during the time of the protocol including IV fluids, inhalations, diuretics.

    Measured: during the 20-40 hours of the protocol

  3. Ability to take in food orally

    Whether the child has been able to feed - yes or no.

    Measured: during the 20-40 hours of the protocol

  4. Number of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admissions

    Whether the child needed admission to PICU

    Measured: The whole hospitalization period of the child

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing HeatedHumidifiedHighFlowNasalCannula in people with Bronchiolitis, run by Rabin Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Eran Rom, Dr. (00-972-3-9253775, eranrom5@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Changes in Bronchiolitis Severity Score grade (time frame: during the 20-40 hours of the protocol). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Nov 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
