Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the clinical use of nasal high-flow therapy for infants with bronchiolitis in Australian hospitals, focusing on the choice of initial oxygen therapy and the severity of the disease prior to treatment.
  • Among 235 infants, those receiving high-flow therapy showed more severe respiratory symptoms and a longer hospital stay (0.6 days), with a higher rate of transfers to intensive care compared to those on standard oxygen therapy.
  • The findings suggest that infants with greater disease severity are more likely to be treated with high-flow therapy, leading to more escalated care despite similar severity levels in both treatment groups.

The microchannel array detector provides direct electronic detection and real time imaging of radioactive tracers in samples that traditionally have been imaged by film radioautography. The technology of the detector is described, and the main benefits of this new technology, speed and precise quantitation, are illustrated with practical results. The instrument response to a 14C dilution series (range of 10(5)) was linear over the whole range.
