Interventions

This is a randomized, open, non-inferiority clinical trial. Randomization will be done through sealed envelopes. Elegible patients will be divided into two groups by randomization: Group 1: High flow
Group 2: Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) = 126 patients. Each patient will be assessed at the time of NIV onset, 2h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h, and 96h after. The data to be collected during this period w

Eligibility

Age
No minimum to 2 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Children under 2 years old; hospitalized for bronchiolitis who evolved with acute respiratory distress and NIV/HFNC requirement

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with gestational age less than 35 weeks; bronchopulmonary dysplasia; cyanogenic congenital heart disease or with other alterations with hemodynamic repercussions; liver disease; neuromuscular disease; tracheostomized patients; patients with imminent indication of tracheal intubation; parents that do not agree to sign the informed consent

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
As primary outcome, we will assess the need for tracheal intubation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary outcomes will be: PICU and hospital length of stay and death rate. Will also be compared: need for sedation, invasive devices used, nasal septum injury and length of mechanical ventilation (NIV and invasive). The cost involved in hospitalization (devices, medications and daily hospital stay) will also be calculated.
