  1. Comfort (in points 0-10)

    (FLACC: Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability, min 0- max 10 points)

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. ability to feed (yes or no)

    need for tubefeeding and/or intravenous fluids

    Measured: 5 days

  3. duration of hospitalisation in days

    duration of hospitalisation in days

    Measured: 15 days

  4. admission to PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) (yes or no)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing High Flow Nasal Cannula and Low Flow Nasal Prongs in people with Bronchiolitis, run by Princess Amalia Children's Clinic at 7 sites in Netherlands.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Netherlands. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PEWS (Pediatric Early Warning Score) (in points 0-28) (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02913040, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 28 May 2020.
