Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure in reducing respiratory distress in children with bronchiolitis
Detailed Description
In this study, after taking consent from caretakers, patients of brochiolitis will be randomly assigned to either a standard care group or a nasal continuous positive airway pressure group. Both groups will be followed for respiratory distress. Respiratory distress will be compared by using Seattle sore of respiratory distress.
