Brief Summary

Bronchiolitis (BQ) is an acute viral infection of the lower respiratory tract that affects the bronchioles of babies younger than 24 months of age. Respiratory physiotherapy (FTR) appears as a complementary treatment measure in clinical guidelines and consensus on the management of BQ. Nebulization with 3% hypertonic serum before the FTR session induces an osmotic flow of water in the mucus, which facilitates drainage and reduces edema in the submucosal tissue.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Modified 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.

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Pulmonary Score

    6 months

  • Wood-Downes scale modified by Ferres

    6 months

  • Oxygen saturation

    6 months

  • Heart rate

    6 months

Study Arms (2)

Hypertonic solution

EXPERIMENTAL

Hypertonic solution 4 ml 3% , for 8 minutes in a Philips® vibrating mesh nebulizer plus 20 minute session of Respiratory Physiotherapy based on slow expiratory flow.

Other: Hypertonic solution

Physiological solution

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Single-dose physiological saline serum (5 ml 0.9% NaCl), for 8 minutes in a Philips® vibrating mesh nebulizer plus 20 minute session of Respiratory Physiotherapy based on slow expiratory flow.

Other: Physiological solution

Interventions

Hypertonic serum 4 ml 3%, administered for 8 minutes in a Philips® vibrating mesh nebulizer plus 20 minute session of Respiratory Physiotherapy based on slow expiratory flow: passive technique of expiratory aid applied to the participant by means of a slow thoracic-abdominal pressure that begins at the end of a spontaneous expiration and continues until the residual volume. The physiotherapist through assisted cough or stimulation of the trachea achieves expectoration of sputum.
