Saline vs Adrenaline for Bronchiolitis in the PICU
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial compares two breathing treatments—hypertonic saline and adrenaline—for children with severe bronchiolitis in the pediatric intensive care unit. The goal is to see which works better to help them breathe easier.

This study tests gentle chest physiotherapy techniques to help clear mucus from the lungs in babies with their first case of mild to moderate bronchiolitis. It aims to see if these techniques help babies breathe easier and recover faster.
This study compares two treatments for bronchiolitis in infants: a saltwater solution (3% hypertonic saline) and a common breathing medicine (salbutamol). The goal is to see which one helps babies breathe easier.
This trial tests whether giving babies an “isotonic saline” (salt-water mist, like a very mild saline solution) can help children with bronchiolitis symptoms. It may help by safely loosening mucus and improving breathing, compared with standard care.
This study tests whether a mist of salt water (3% hypertonic saline) helps babies with bronchiolitis breathe easier compared to a standard salt water mist. It aims to find a simple, safe way to treat this common lung infection in infants.
This study looks at how children with bronchiolitis (a common lung infection in babies) respond to breathing treatments. It will also check if genes or other traits play a role. The goal is to better understand which treatments work best.
This study tests if salbutamol (a medication that opens airways) helps adults with breathing failure caused by pneumonia, especially while receiving oxygen through a high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). Salbutamol is given as a mist you breathe in.
