Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine whether chest physiotherapy with forced expiratory technique reduces delay of healing in acute bronchiolitis of children between 15 days and 24 months of age.
| Condition | Intervention |
|---|---|
| Viral Bronchiolitis | Procedure: Chest Physiotherapy with Forced Expiratory Technique Procedure: Nasopharyngeal Aspiration |
| Study Type: | Interventional |
| Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
| Official Title: | Efficacy and Safety of Chest Physiotherapy With Forced Expiratory Technique for Acute Bronchiolitis in Toddlers |
Further study details as provided by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Delay for obtention of healing defined by all of these parameters at least 8 hours in a row : pulse oxymétry >94% AND normal feeding AND specific respiratory distress score lower than one as described in the protocol AND normal respiratory rate [ Time Frame: obtention ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Safety of the forced expiratory technique [ Time Frame: during hospitalisation ]
- Comparison of pulse oxymetry before/after chest physiotherapy [ Time Frame: during hospitalisation ]
- Quality of Life Scale [ Time Frame: on discharge ]

Detailed Description:
Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory infection in infants, and the respiratory condition leading to the majority of hospital admissions in young children. It is also probably the most common serious illness of childhood lacking evidence-based treatment. Evidence against the effectiveness of chest physiotherapy with vibration and postural drainage techniques has been described but forced expiratory technique, as described in France, has never been evaluated.
The investigators hypothesised that forced expiratory technique was able to reduce the duration of respiratory distress.
Comparison(s): The investigators compare physiotherapy with forced expiratory techniques to simple aspiration of naso-pharyngeal secretions.
