Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: infants with bronchiolitis and hypoxemia, receiving high-flow oxygen therapy require less escalation of care than those who receive conventional oxygen therapy.

Reviewers’ commentary: this study is an open clinical trial with high risk of bias. Although there is uncertainty about the results, it seems that the use of high-flow oxygen therapy can reduce the rate of ICU admissions and lower levels of intensive respiratory care.
