Abstrakt: Introduction: Upper respiratory infections and bronchiolitis are among the most common pathologies in childhood. In paediatric patient care, the nasal lavage technique is widely used as it is recommended in various sinus pathologies.
Objective: To synthesize the available evidence on nasal lavage technique in paediatric patients.
Methods: Literature search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and COCHRANE PLUS databases, using the descriptors: paediatrics, respiratory tract infection, bronchiolitis, nasal lavage.
Results: 11 articles were selected due to relevance and specificity. In the documents, the recommendations are structured in five sections regarding the LN technique.
Conclusions: We can recommend, based on scientific evidence, the use of sterile isotonic saline, low positive pressure with wide volumes using a disposable syringe. In the future, the aspects of volume to be used, material and position of the patient regarding the technique should be studied in depth.
