Does high-flow oxygen reduce escalation of care in infants with hypoxaemic bronchiolitis?

Rebeca Mozun et al. Breathe (Sheff). 2019 Sep.

Abstract

Treatment failure leading to escalation of care occurred less often in infants with hypoxaemic bronchiolitis treated with high-flow oxygen than with standard oxygen therapy, but there were no differences in the proportion needing ICU transfer or intubation http://bit.ly/2F3rSi1.
