Official Title: Using Nasal Broadband Glasses HFNC (High Flow Nasal Cannula) in the Initial Management of Severe Bronchiolitis in Infants Admitted in ICU: Bicentric Observational Study on
Brief Summary:
The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of nasal broadband glasses HFNC (High Flow Nasal Cannula) in the initial management of severe bronchiolitis in infants admitted in ICU.
Nasal HFNC can deliver warmed humidified gas through a nasal interface, greatly improving the safety and efficacy of administering O2. This device generates a continuous positive pressure in the airways, to reduce the work of breathing. The sealing absence of the HFNC at the nasal interface improves patient comfort and avoiding nasal trauma.
