Ultrasound test for infant bronchiolitis severity
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a simple, non-invasive ultrasound to look at a neck vein and help doctors tell how severe a baby's bronchiolitis is. This could help guide treatment and monitoring for infants with this common lung infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Babies must be between 1 and 23 months old.
- The baby must have a first-time wheezing episode with a cold and fast breathing or chest retractions, diagnosed as bronchiolitis.
- The baby must be seen in the emergency department within 6 hours of symptoms starting.
- Parent or guardian must agree to take part and sign a consent form.

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 whether a lung ultrasound (a safe, painless scan) can help predict how well a newborn will recover from breathing problems that start right after birth. It may help doctors decide on the best care more quickly.
This study uses a special lung ultrasound to look at how well a baby's lungs are working. It is for babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) who need help breathing. The goal is to see if the ultrasound can give doctors useful information.
This study tests whether chest ultrasound can help doctors better understand and treat respiratory tract infections in children and young adults up to age 20. If you or your child is diagnosed with a respiratory infection in the emergency department, this trial may show how ultrasound can guide care.
This trial tests whether doing a bedside lung ultrasound can help doctors assess and manage breathing problems in very premature infants. It may help guide care decisions for infants who are struggling to breathe, especially those needing breathing support.
This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
