Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Nebulized 3% hypertonic saline solution treatment in hospitalized infants with viral bronchiolitis.
To determine the utility of inhaled hypertonic saline solution to treat infants hospitalized with viral bronchiolitis. ⋯ We conclude that in nonasthmatic, nonseverely ill infants hospitalized with viral bronchiolitis, aerosolized 3% saline solution/1.5 mg epinephrine decreases symptoms and length of hospitalization as compared to 0.9% saline solution/1.5 mg epinephrine.
