High Flow Nasal Cannula Use in Infants With Bronchiolitis
A study testing Airvo (TM, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare) - High flow oxygen therapy and MedKit Finland - Usual oxygen therapy in people with Bronchiolitis, run by University of Oulu at 4 sites in Finland.
Trial summary
Infants with viral bronchiolitis are currently treated with oxygen therapy if oxygen saturation is low. In earlier observational clinical studies, the use of high flow nasal cannulae therapy in infants with bronchiolitis has been associated with a decreased rate of intubation and intensive care.

About this study
Official title: High Flow Humified Nasal Cannula Oxygen Therapy in Infants Younger Than 6 Months of Age With Viral Bronchiolitis Compared to Usual Oxygen Therapy : a Randomized Controlled Trial
Infants with viral bronchiolitis are currently treated with oxygen therapy if oxygen saturation is low. In earlier observational clinical studies, the use of high flow nasal cannulae therapy in infants with bronchiolitis has been associated with a decreased rate of intubation and intensive care. This study is a randomized controlled trial in two pediatric university hospitals in Finland comparing high flow nasal cannulae therapy to usual oxygen therapy in infants with bronchiolitis.
Read the detailed description
Infants with viral bronchiolitis are currently treated with oxygen therapy if oxygen saturation is low. In earlier observational clinical studies, the use of high flow nasal cannulae therapy in infants with bronchiolitis has been associated with a decreased rate of intubation and intensive care. This study is a randomized controlled trial in five pediatric university hospitals in Finland comparing high flow nasal cannulae therapy to usual oxygen therapy in infants with bronchiolitis.
The investigators will recruit 160 infants who require oxygen therapy (oxygen saturation <92%) during hospitalization due to a viral bronchiolitis. The participants are randomized to receive oxygen therapy either with high flow or ordinary nasal cannula.The infants are closely observed by study physicians for clinical parameters. The primary end point is treatment failure (need for change of respiratory support method). Secondary endpoints are respiratory rate (RR) and oxygen saturation (%) at specific measuring points, time from randomisation to end of oxygen therapy and time from randomisation to discharge.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of patients with treatment failure
Treatment failure = need for change of respiratory support method
Measured: 720 hours
Secondary outcomes (5)
Respiratory rate measured by the study physician/nurse
Measured: At 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 4 hours, 8 hours
Oxygen saturation (%)
Measured: At 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 4 hours, 8 hours
Time from randomisation to end of oxygen therapy
Measured: At 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 4 hours, 8 hours
Time from hospital admission to discharge (hours)
The date and time for admission and discharge will be registered for each participant and time from hospital admission to discharge is then calculated in hours and compared between the study groups.
Measured: 720 hours
Number of participants needing admission to intensive care unit (ICU)
The number of participants needing admission to intensive care unit (ICU) will be registered in both treatment groups and that number divided by the total number of participants in the groups (percentages) are then compared between the study groups.
Measured: 720 hours

In earlier observational clinical studies, the use of high flow nasal cannulae therapy in infants with bronchiolitis has been associated with a decreased rate of intubation and intensive care. This study is a randomized controlled trial in two pediatric university hospitals in Finland comparing high flow nasal cannulae therapy to usual oxygen therapy in infants with bronchiolitis.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Airvo (TM, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare) - High flow oxygen therapy and MedKit Finland - Usual oxygen therapy in people with Bronchiolitis, run by University of Oulu at 4 sites in Finland.
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 2 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in Finland. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Slow recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Number of patients with treatment failure (time frame: 720 hours). 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 19 Dec 2018.
