N/A |
Detailed Description
In this study, after taking consent from caretakers, patients of brochiolitis will be randomly assigned to either a standard care group or a nasal continuous positive airway pressure group. Both groups will be followed for respiratory distress. Respiratory distress will be compared by using Seattle sore of respiratory distress.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: standard care In this arm, oxygen inhalation will be provided without positive end expiratory pressure |
|
Experimental: nasal continuous positive airway pressure In this arm, positive end expiratory pressure will be provided by nasal continuous positive airway pressure |
Device: nasal continuous positive airway pressure
positive end expiratory pressure will be applied by nasal continuous positive airway pressure
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- reduction in seattle score [after 12 hours]
seattle score will be noted and compared for both groups
