Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Enteral Feeding in Bronchiolitis
• Interventions: Device: Nasogastric tube (NGT) feeding; Device: Nasoduodenal tube (NDT) feeding

• Registration Number: NCT03346850
• Lead Sponsor: The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare two ways (nasogastric tube (NGT) and nasoduodenal tube (NDT)) to provide nutrition to infants admitted to the hospital for viral bronchiolitis and who require high flow nasal cannula therapy.
