Inclusion Criteria

Children aged 3 months to 8 years

Patients requiring ECBC sampling in routine practice: acute respiratory distress with suspected lower respiratory infection (superinfected bronchiolitis or asthma attacks, suspected pneumonitis) and severe asthma

Free, informed and written consent from at least one of the minor's legal representatives

Affiliated to the social security system

Child unable to expectorate effectively

Exclusion Criteria

Contraindication of MEOPA : - Patients requiring 100% oxygen ventilation - Intracranial hypertension - Altered state of consciousness preventing cooperation - Any condition where air is trapped́ inside the body and its expansion could be dangerous (cranial and/or maxillofacial trauma, pneumothorax, emphysema, gas embolism, following recent scuba diving, decompression accident, during middle ear/internal ear or sinus surgery, abdominal gas distension, if air is injected into the epidural space during epidural anesthesia, if the patient has received ophthalmic gas for as long as the gas bubble persists and up to 3 months afterwards) - Known, unsubstituted vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency - Recent onset of unexplained neurological abnormalities.

Contraindications for induced expectoration: Clinical instability not conducive to induced expectoration (at practitioner's discretion) - Severe respiratory insufficiency, - Severe spasticity. - Hemoptysis - Decompensated heart failure - Contraindications to the use of hypertonic saline : o Hypersensitivity of the bronchial system to hypertonic sodium chloride solutions. o Hemoptysis. - Contraindication to the use of salbutamol o Hypersensitivity to any of the constituents of salbutamol-based pressurized or inhaled products. - Intolerance to salbutamol-based pressurized or inhaled products (coughing or bronchospasm occurring immediately after inhalation of the product). Contraindication to maneuvers performed by physiotherapists: bullous emphysema, confirmed hiatal or diaphragmatic hernia and rib fragility.

Patient with minor parent(s)

Antibiotic therapy administered within the previous 24 hours.
