Summary

This intervention study is designed to evaluate short-term effects (within one hour) of prone position on vital signs in infants under 12 months of age with acute RSV bronchiolitis. The primary objective is to investigate whether respiratory rate changes in prone position. Secondary endpoints are changes in oxygen saturation (SpO2), transcutaneous carbon dioxide partial pressure (pCO2), heart rate, and respiratory symptoms assessed by the Modified Tal Score (MTS).

Conditions

  • Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
  • Acute Bronchiolitis
  • Infant, Newborn, Disease
  • Infant, Premature, Diseases

Interventions

OTHER

Prone position/ Abdominal position

Standardized positioning of the infant in the prone position respectively abdominal position. Depending on age and size, one or two rolled towels are placed lengthwise under the baby. Both arms are placed cranially in U-position towards the head. Since the position of the head has no significant influence on lung ventilation, the head is placed according to the infant's tolerance.
