High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is now used in nearly half of severe bronchiolitis cases in French pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), matching continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) use. This study investigated respiratory support methods during a bronchiolitis epidemic.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Intensive Care

Background:

  • Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has significantly improved outcomes for hospitalized bronchiolitis patients in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs).
  • High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) is increasingly considered an alternative to CPAP for respiratory support in severe bronchiolitis.
  • The use and indications for HFNC in severe bronchiolitis remain debated despite some positive clinical findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define the role of HFNC in respiratory support for severe bronchiolitis.
  • To investigate the utilization of different respiratory support techniques during a bronchiolitis epidemic peak.

Main Methods:

  • An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted in 27 French university hospital PICUs.

  • Data were collected over 3 days during the peak of a bronchiolitis epidemic in December 2015.
  • Fifty-nine patients with severe bronchiolitis requiring respiratory support were included.

    • Main Results:

    • High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) accounted for nearly half of all respiratory support techniques used.
    • No significant difference was observed in patient groups receiving CPAP versus HFNC.
    • The study highlights the widespread adoption of HFNC in French PICUs for severe bronchiolitis.

    Conclusions:

    • HFNC is a prevalent respiratory support method for severe bronchiolitis in French PICUs.
    • Current data suggest comparable usage between HFNC and CPAP, indicating a shift in respiratory support strategies.
    • Further research is warranted to clarify optimal indications and efficacy of HFNC compared to CPAP.
