Nasal Suction in Infants With Bronchiolitis Using a NoseFrida vs. Bulb Syringe
Stopped early · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Bronchiolitis, Respiratory Disease
In brief
This research study will evaluate the difference in effectiveness of nasal suction between two different suction devices (NoseFrida and bulb syringe) in infants that have bronchiolitis. Bronchiolitis (a virus infection that goes into the lungs, which subsequently causes difficulty breathing, difficulty sleeping, and difficulty eating and drinking in children) is a common infection in young children. The caregiver-participants will be supplied with a suction devices (either NoseFrida and bulb syringe suction). The device should be used to clear nasal secretions as needed following discharge from the Emergency Center. The participants will be asked to use either a NoseFrida device or a bulb syringe. Caregivers will monitor how well their baby is breathing, eating/drinking, sleeping and how many times the baby has been seen by a medical provider in the 5 days post discharge from the Emergency Center. Post discharge, caregivers will complete a REDCAP survey asking questions about how their baby has been doing over the first 5 days following hospital discharge. REDCAP survey will be sent day 5 and again on day 7 if not completed. This completes study involvement.
