Brief Summary

Bronchiolitis (BQ) is the acute viral infection of the tract respiratory syndrome in infants that affects the bronchioles of babies under 24 months of age. Respiratory physiotherapy (RF) appears as a treatment measure complementary in the clinical guidelines and consensus on the management of the BQ.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Wang clinical severity scale

    The clinical severity scale of Wang evaluates the respiratory rate, the presence of wheezing and intercostal retraction, and the patient's general condition, puncturing each dimension from 0 (the possible state) to 3 (values within normal), in addition to offer different cut points for children with more or less than 6 months.

    12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Oxygen saturation

    12 weeks

  • Heart rate

    12 weeks

  • Amount of sputum

    12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Manual maneuvers physiotherapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The protocol of physiotherapy treatment techniques consists of 20 minutes of FR based on prolonged slow expiration and cough provoked.

Other: Manual maneuvers physiotherapy group

High frequency compression chest wall

EXPERIMENTAL

The protocol consists in the application of the Smart Vest® device for high frequency compression of the chest wall, with a fixed frequency of 13 Hz and a time of 15 minutes. Then during 20 minutes will apply the same protocol as in the manual maneuvers group.

Other: High frequency compression of the chest wall groupOther: Manual maneuvers physiotherapy group

Interventions

The protocol in the high frequency compression of the chest wall group device consists of the Smart Vest® application, with a fixed frequency of 13 Hz and a time of 15 minutes. The selected mode will be the normal (fixed parameters) and the pressure of 4 units (12 cm H2O). The patient remains seated on his parents, and with a cotton garment between the vest and the skin of the patient to prevent skin lesions.

High frequency compression chest wall

20 minutes of manual maneuvers physiotherapy based on prolonged slow expiration: passive technique of expiratory help applied to the baby through a slow thoracic-abdominal pressure that begins at the end of spontaneous expiration and continues to the residual volume. The physiotherapist through the cough provoked or stimulation of the trachea gets expectoration of sputum, to be able to assess its weight.
