ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2014

52 participants

Abstract

This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in the Pediatric Emergency Department. The primary objective is to determine whether nebulized 3% hypertonic saline is more effective than nebulized 0.9% saline in the treatment of bronchiolitis in the emergency department.

Conditions: Acute Bronchiolitis.

Primary outcome: Respiratory Assessment Change Score (RACS).

Enrollment: 52 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design. Reported size: 52 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
