Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Children 1 month to 2 years of age admitted to Paediatrics department with acute bronchiolitis with Moderate to severe respiratory distress8 indicated by features such as SpO2 less than 92% on room air, persistent increased work of breathing (nasal flaring, intercostal retractions), apnea episodes, or need for frequent monitoring.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
PICU Resource Utilization Score : We will compare mean and median NEMS scores between groups as a quantitative outcome of resource use. Timepoint: 18 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Duration of Oxygen Therapy Total time the child remained on supplemental oxygen of any kind. This ends when the child is weaned off O2 completely. A shorter oxygen duration in one group might indicate faster recovery of respiratory status.Timepoint: 18 months;Adverse events or Complications.Any notable complications related to oxygen therapy. For HFNC nasal mucosal injury, epistaxis, abdominal distension and vomiting (from high flow), aspiration . For standard oxygen therapy nasal trauma from prongs, etc.Timepoint: ;Direct cost of treatment (exploratory) we will perform an approximate cost analysis using hospital accounting data calculating oxygen consumption per patient (liters of Oxygen used, given HFNC delivers high flow vs standard), consumables used (HFNC circuits vs simple cannulas), and bed-day costs. While exact cost accounting for each patient is complex, we will estimate average cost per patient in each group. A significant cost difference, if observed, will be reportedTimepoint:
