High-flow oxygen in bronchiolitis

High-flow nasal cannula for infants with bronchiolitis.

Key point

HFNC and CPAP appear to provide comparable efficacy for noninvasive respiratory support in children with bronchiolitis, while HFNC may reduce device-related adverse events.

How these numbers are counted

PubMed query, searched in titles and abstracts by publication date:

bronchiolitis[tiab] AND ("high-flow"[tiab] OR HFNC[tiab])

Trials: ClinicalTrials.gov studies first submitted in each 12-month window that match the same terms. A query can miss synonyms or catch unrelated papers, so treat counts as approximate.
