Active clinical trials for "Bronchiolitis"

This phase II trial studies how well giving fluticasone propionate, azithromycin, and montelukast sodium (FAM) together works in treating patients with bronchiolitis obliterans who previously underwent stem cell transplant. FAM may be an effective treatment for bronchiolitis obliterans

The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effect of Montelukast in treatment of acute bronchiolitis and postbronchiolitis viral induced wheezing of infants 3 to 12 months of age in Bandar Abbas Children' hospital.

In this study, investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) Magnesium sulfate in decreasing bronchiolitis clinical severity score and the duration of hospitalization in admitted patients, as compared to placebo.

- Determine the efficacy of nebulized salbutamol/hypertonic saline combination in moderate to severe bronchiolitis.

This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in the Pediatric Emergency Department. The primary objective is to determine whether nebulized 3% hypertonic saline is more effective than nebulized 0.9% saline in the treatment of bronchiolitis in the emergency department.

Viral bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract infection of infancy. Apnea is a complication of bronchiolitis, reported in 16 - 21% of cases. Caffeine, a trimethylxanthine, acts as an antagonist to endogenous adenosine and a potent central nervous system stimulant. In apnea of prematurity, caffeine is believed to work by increasing central respiratory drive. Infants ≤4 months of age, presenting to pediatric emergency center Al-Sadd, from September 2011 to May 2014, with a diagnosis of viral bronchiolitis associated with apnea. A randomized, double-blind, controlled trial with a sample size of 45 patients per group Data Collection methods, instruments used measurements: Randomization: In the emergency department, the patients will be assigned to either one of the two treatments using a computer-generated randomized numbers in a 1:1 ratio. Pharmacy will prepare sequential sealed vials containing the experimental drugs. Randomization code will be revealed only after all patients completed the study. The medical team in addition to the patients will be blinded to the medication delivered. There will be no detectable difference in the color, smell of the two study treatments. Guardians or parents of eligible infants will be approached regarding the study, explaining the purpose and the treatment modalities. Patients will be included after obtaining a verbal and written consent. Study Intervention: Treatment 1: Single stat dose (25 mg per kilogram of body weight) of intravenous caffeine citrate (25mg caffeine citrate equal to 12.5mg caffeine base). Treatment 2: Placebo with an equivalent volume of normal saline. Calculated study medications will be diluted with Dextrose 5% in Water to 20 ml and will be given intravenous over 30 minutes using syringe infusion pump. After random assignment, eligible infants will receive one of the study treatments. Non-pharmacological therapies may be used as necessary to control apnea. Antibiotics and antipyretics may be used as per the discretion of the treating physician. After stabilization of patients as usually done in Pediatric Emergency Center , patients will be admitted to pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) for further monitoring monitoring when indicated.

The purpose of this study is to to demonstrate that a 7-day course of systemic glucocorticoids decreases the inflammatory activity of moderate or severe bronchiolitis in paediatric patients compared to the standard treatment. To evaluate the morbidity (regarding to the clinical course: Intensive Pediatric Unit Care unit (PICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, ionotropic support, nosocomial infection, rescue therapy for respiratory failure; duration of PICU stay and hospitalization; and exitus) between the treatment and the control groups.

The investigators compared oxygen therapy using the HFNC and diffuser mask (an effective low-flow oxygen delivery system) to treat patients with moderate-to-severe acute bronchiolitis admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU).

The primary rationale for this study is to evaluate the effect of once daily montelukast on duration of acute illness in infants with first-time bronchiolitis.

This study investigates the role of azithromycin treatment for lymphocytic bronchitis/bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.
