The clinical application of continuous positive airway pressure in severe bronchiolitis / 临床儿科杂志

ABSTRACT

Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract disease in infants. There is no speciifc treatment for it and the treatment is mainly supportive. The management of bronchiolitis is the clinical hotspot recently. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) has gained more attention in clinical application as it is a safe, effective, and noninvasive method and can effectively relieve symptoms of bronchiolitis and improve prognosis. This paper reviews the clinical application of CPAP in infants with severe bronchiolitis.
