| Popis: | Objectives: To investigate whether the use of nebulized 3% hypertonic saline in infants hospitalized for acute bronchiolitis reduces their rate of pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission, the mean length of PICU stay and total hospital stay. Methods: Cross-sectional study including 626 infants hospitalized for moderate acute bronchiolitis comparing a group receiving nebulized 3% hypertonic saline (HS group) between September 2011 and May 2014 (n=320), with a historic control group treated with normal saline (NS group) between September 2007 and May 2010 (n=306) independently of the concomitant use of bronchodilators. Results: Overall hospital stay including days at PICU, was significantly reduced in HS group (4 days (0-46) vs 5 days (1-73); p |
