Official Title: Effectiveness of Chest Physiotherapy Actual Versus Conventional Techniques in Infants With Acute Viral Bronchiolitis. Random Clinical Trial

Further study details as provided by Hospital Sirio-Libanes:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Respiratory distress [ Time Frame: on first evaluation by physiotherapyst ( until 2 hours after hospital admission) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    This outcome was evaluated with Wang's score for infants with bronchiolitis


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Respiratory distress [ Time Frame: 48 hours after first evaluation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Wang's score

  • Respiratory distress [ Time Frame: 72 hours after first evaluation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Wang's score

  • Respiratory distress [ Time Frame: 1 hour before hospital discharge ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    wang's score

Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1- Conventional Chest Physiotherapy
Percussion , thorax compression and Postural Drainage/suction if necessary
 Procedure: Chest physiotherapy - Conventional
Percussion Postural Drainage and thorax compression
Active Comparator: 2- Chest physiotherapy- Actual techniques
slow prolonged expiration and clearance rhinopharynx and suction if necessary
 Procedure: Chest physiotherapy - actual techniques
Slow prolonged expiration and clearance rhinopharynx retrograde
Active Comparator: 3- Airway Suction
Suction superior airways. Only in admission.
 Procedure: 3-Airway suction
Airway suction

Detailed Description:

The infants were random in three groups: Conventional techniques, actual techniques and suction of upper airways On the first two groups the infants were evaluated on admission,48,72hours and before hospital discharge. On third group was evaluated only on admission when SRV was collected.

Respiratory distress was evaluated with Wang's score by the physiotherapists and nurses not participating in the research.
