Study Summary

This trial aims to find out if using a special mode of non-invasive ventilation called Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assistance (NAVA) can improve comfort and reduce the need for more intensive treatment

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children under two years old diagnosed with bronchiolitis who are in the pediatric ICU. Specific details about who can't join were not provided.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two types of non-invasive breathing support: standard ventilation and Neurally-Adjusted Ventilatory Assistance (NAVA). It aims to see if NAVA offers better comfort and reduces the need for more intense treatments like intubation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed, but may include discomfort or issues related to wearing a ventilation mask, skin irritation from the equipment, or respiratory complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What is the current number of individuals who are being enrolled in this medical study?

"Indeed, as per the details available on clinicaltrials.gov, this study is currently seeking eligible patients. The trial was initially posted on December 18th, 2023 and recently updated on the same date. In total, they aim to enroll 120 participants at a single research site."

Answered by AI

Are eligible patients able to enroll in this ongoing trial at the present time?

"Indeed, as reported on clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is currently actively recruiting participants. The initial posting of the trial was made on December 18th, 2023 and it was last updated on the same date."

Answered by AI

Is the eligibility criteria for this medical study inclusive of individuals below the age of 50?

"To be eligible for enrollment in this clinical trial, participants must be between the ages of zero and two."

Answered by AI

Can individuals such as myself participate in this clinical study?

"In order to be eligible for this medical study, individuals must have a diagnosis of bronchiolitis and fall within the age range of 0 to 2 years. The trial has capacity for a total enrollment of 120 participants."

Answered by AI

What is the primary goal or purpose of this medical study?

"The primary focus of this research is to assess the Baseline Respiratory Severity Score (RSS) over an average duration of approximately 48 hours. The RSS values will be recorded at intervals around every 4 hours. Additional outcomes being evaluated include the Duration of Non-Invasive Ventilation, which measures how long patients require non-invasive ventilation in hours. Furthermore, the study aims to determine the number of participants who need intubation due to bronchiolitis and track any instances where physicians increase ventilatory support settings on the ventilator (excluding FiO2), while remaining within protocol parameters; these events will be counted during the study period"
