Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Bronchiolitis
Interventions
Other: Clinical Decision Support (CDS)
Device: HHFNC Weaning
Registration Number
NCT05909566
Lead Sponsor
Christopher Horvat
Brief Summary

This project aims to answer the essential questions about the management of acute, pediatric respiratory illness, accelerate recovery from these all-too-common diseases, curb unnecessary costs of care, and demonstrate UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh's capabilities as the premier, world-class leader in the arena of pediatric learning healthcare systems. REST EEC will focus on the question of whether clinical decision support (CDS) facilitates the standardization of the initiation and weaning of heated high flow nasal cannula (HHFNC) for bronchiolitis.REST EEC will focus on whether the application of CDS improves adherence to a standardized guideline and leads to improved patient-centered outcomes.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HFNC durationTimeframe consists of a start time of either randomization or the last documentation of positive pressure ventilation (whichever is later) and the last documentation of HFNC in the electronic flowsheet, up to 30 days

Amount of time patient is on HFNC

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Organ support free daysFrom date of admission until the first day of ICU-based respiratory or cardiovascular organ support or discharge or date of death from any case, whichever came first, assessed up to 30 days

Days alive and free of ICU-based respiratory or cardiovascular organ support

Respiratory support free daysFrom date the start of respiratory support until the first documented respiratory support free day, up to 30 days

Days alive and free of intensive care unit-based respiratory

PICU length of stayFrom data of admission to PICU to discharge from the PICU or death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 90 days.

Days admitted in the PICU. This is added to reconcile the plan to evaluate this outcome and its noted absence from this website, as pointed out by a reviewer while working to publish the trial design.

Hospital length of stayFrom date of admission until discharge or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 90 days.

Days admitted in hospital

Time to oral intakeFrom date of ending HHFNC until first documented oral intake, assessed up to 30 days

Time from HHFNC and oral intake

Cost of hospitalizationDays from admission to discharge from hospital or date of death, up to 90 days. Of note, an earlier outcome was listed for 90-day cost of care and the redundancy with this outcome was recognized, so the 90-day cost of care outcome was removed.

Totality of expenses incurred by a hospital in providing its services and care

MortalityFrom date of admission until death from any cause, assessed up to 90 days

Patient Death

Ostensible respiratory distress measured by a respiratory severity scoreThrough study completion, an average of 1 week

The product of mean airway pressure and the fraction of inspired oxygen
