High Flow Cannula Therapy in Bronchiolitis, a Randomised Controlled Trial

毛细支气管炎是澳大利亚儿科住院的主要原因。尽管进行了多项研究，但结果并未改变。在其他国际研究的支持下，我们最近的研究表明，使用高流量鼻插管氧气可以减轻疾病的严重性，防止疾病的进展。我们的目标是调查地区医院的HFNC是否可以减少被转移到专科儿童医院的婴儿数量，并减少社会经济负担。

Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of paediatric hospitalisation in Australia. Despite multiple research studies the outcome has not changed. Our recent studies supported by other international studies have shown that the use of high flow nasal cannula oxygen may reduce the severity and prevent progression of the disease. We aim to investigate if HFNC in regional hospitals can reduce the number of infants transferred to specialist children’s hospitals and reduce the socio-economic burden.
