Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find the best weaning strategy for infants under 12 months with bronchiolitis who are on high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy, potentially reducing their hospital stay.
- It will compare two weaning methods: one that stops HFNC at a fixed oxygen level and another that transitions to low-flow oxygen after HFNC.
- The trial is being conducted in Wales, involves 20 participants over 24 months, and has ethical approval for its processes and outcomes, which will be shared in a medical journal.
Background: To assess the published evidence to establish the efficacy and safety of high flow oxygen cannula (HFNC) as respiratory support for children up to 24 months of age with bronchiolitis within acute hospital settings.
Methods: We searched eight databases up to March 2021. Studies including children up to 24 months of age with a diagnosis of bronchiolitis recruited to an randomised controlled trial were considered in the full meta-analysis.
