Effects of Prone Positioning on Vital Parameters in Infants With Acute Bronchiolitis

Switzerland27 participantsStarted 2020-01-03

Plain-language summary

This intervention study is designed to evaluate short-term effects (within one hour) of prone position on vital signs in infants under 12 months of age with acute RSV bronchiolitis. The primary objective is to investigate whether respiratory rate changes in prone position. Secondary endpoints are changes in oxygen saturation (SpO2), transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2), heart rate, and respiratory symptoms assessed by the Modified Tal Score (MTS).
