Intravenous fluids versus gastric-tube feeding in hospitalized infants with viral bronchiolitis: a randomized, prospective pilot study

Amir Kugelman et al. J Pediatr. 2013 Mar.

Abstract

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends intravenous fluids for infants with bronchiolitis who are unable to sustain oral feedings. Our randomized, prospective pilot study shows that gastric tube feeding (in 31 infants) is feasible and demonstrated comparable clinical outcomes with intravenous fluids (in 20 infants) among hospitalized infants ≤6 months of age with moderate bronchiolitis.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01189149.
