Safe, Effective and Cost-Effective Oxygen Saturation Targets for Children and Adolescents With Respiratory Distress: a Randomized Controlled Trial (OxyKids)
Bronchiolitis, Lower Respiratory Tract Infection, Bronchial Hyperreactivity
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Bronchiolitis focused on measuring Oxygen saturation target, SpO2, Children
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 6 weeks to 12 years of age (corrected age for children with gestational age < 37 weeks) hospitalized with respiratory distress due to bronchiolitis, viral wheeze or lower respiratory tract infection, as diagnosed by the treating physician. Viral wheeze can only be diagnosed below the age of 6 years. requiring supplemental oxygen as per usual care (SpO2 <92% or for treating symptoms of respiratory distress as determined by the treating physician Exclusion Criteria: children with, except for the studied diseases, pre-existing cardiopulmonary, neurological or hematological conditions (e.g. congenital thoracic malformation, airway malacia, post infectious bronchiolitis obliterans, childhood interstitial lung disease. primary immune deficiency) children born <32 weeks gestational age children already included in other studies, which potentially interfere with this study children (of parents) without a stable internet connection needed for answering questionnaires children previously included in the current study considering questionnaires are only available in Dutch and English, children (of parents) with different languages will be excluded.

Experimental
Active Comparator
88% oxygen saturation threshold
92% oxygen saturation threshold
Patients in this arm will receive supplemental oxygen when SpO2 falls below 88% or when other clinical symptoms indicate a need for supplemental oxygen.
