The analysis included 1,472 patients.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that 12 percent of infants in the high-flow group received escalation of care due to treatment failure versus 23 percent in the standard-therapy group. However, there were no significant differences in the duration of hospital stay or the duration of oxygen therapy. One case of pneumothorax occurred in each group (<1 percent of infants). Just under two-thirds (61 percent) of the 167 infants in the standard-therapy group who had treatment failure responded to high-flow rescue therapy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Among infants with bronchiolitis who were treated outside an intensive care unit, those who received high-flow oxygen therapy had significantly lower rates of escalation of care due to treatment failure than those in the group that received standard oxygen therapy,&#8221; the authors write.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/full\/10.1056\/NEJMoa1714855\" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text (subscription or payment may be required)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
