6cmH2O continuous positive airway pressure versus conventional oxygen therapy in severe viral bronchiolitis: A randomized trial
Pediatric Pulmonology, 04/30/2012
Milesi C et al. – Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) rapidly decreased inspiratory work in young infants with acute bronchiolitis. Improvement in the respiratory distress score at 6hr was proportional to the initial clinical severity, suggesting the importance of rapid nCPAP initiation in the more severe forms of the disease.
