Treating Bronchiolitis: How Babies Respond to Breathing Medicine
Treatments studied
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child must be between 3 and 24 months old.
- A doctor must have diagnosed the child with bronchiolitis (a lung infection causing wheezing and coughing).
- The child cannot have a known history of asthma or similar breathing problems.
- The child must not have used steroid medicine or breathing treatments (like albuterol) within a few hours before arriving at the emergency room.
- The child must not have other serious lung, heart, or immune conditions (including certain lung diseases from prematurity).
- The visit must be to the Nemours Children’s Health emergency department in Florida.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks at how doctors treat babies hospitalized with bronchiolitis. It aims to understand which treatments are really needed and where care could be improved. If your baby was recently admitted for bronchiolitis, this study might help future babies get better, simpler care.
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 looks at children hospitalized with bronchiolitis (a lung infection that causes coughing and breathing trouble). It aims to understand what makes some children more likely to get very sick. By joining, researchers can learn more about risk factors and how to help children recover better.
This study looks at how well different severity scales work for children hospitalized with bronchiolitis. It may help doctors better assess how sick a child is and guide their care.
This study looks at how the germs in a baby's gut and their immune system respond to bronchiolitis (a common lung infection). If your baby is under 12 months and gets bronchiolitis during the RSV season, their participation could help us understand why some babies get very sick and others don't.
