High Flow Cannula Therapy in Bronchiolitis, a Randomised Controlled Trial

细支气管炎是澳大利亚儿科住院的主要原因。尽管进行了多次研究，但结果并没有改变。我们最近的研究得到了其他国际研究的支持，表明使用高流量鼻插管吸氧可以降低疾病的严重程度并防止疾病进展。我们的目的是调查，如果HFNC在区域医院可以减少婴儿转移到专科儿童医院的数量，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.
