Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of using bacterial lysate in bronchiolitis. The main question it aims to answer are: Does the use of bacterial lysate after bronchiolitis reduce the likelihood of preschool wheeze Participants will take either the active medicine or a placebo for 24 months.
Summary: Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is one of the most useful procedures for diagnosing and treating respiratory illnesses to figure out symptoms like hemoptysis, wheezing, or cough. Furthermore, FOB is a frequent method, in intensive care units, for both diagnoses of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and treatment of atelectasis with bedside sedation.) Propofol is often used in anesthesia for endos...
Summary: Bronchoscopy is a promising technology for lung and bronchus disease detection and therapy. However, this procedure is associated with a relatively high risk of hypoxemia, coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea. Despite the fact that propofol is the most commonly used agent in procedure sedation, the narrow therapeutic index remains challenging. Esketamine is the s-enantiomer of ketamine with potent anal...
Summary: To determine whether or not preventive administration of resveratrol in the form of a nasal spray is effective in reducing the number of asthma exacerbations typical of preschool wheezing children who develop viral infections.
Summary: The LinguaFlex™ Tongue Retractor (LTR) is an investigational medical device that is inserted into the tongue to lessen its backward movement during sleep. This helps to keep the airway open during sleep so that the tongue doesn't block the airway causing obstructive apnea or narrow it enough to cause snoring. This study will monitor the effectiveness of the LTR device in the reduction of Obstructi...
Summary: MIST+ is studying a nasal spray to see if it will reduce the need for surgery for snoring. Children aged 3-12 are invited to take part. Snoring affects up to 10% of children and can cause sleeping problems and concentration or behavioural issues in the daytime. Currently the most common treatment for snoring is surgery to remove the tonsils and/or adenoids, however many children wait a long time t...
Summary: It has been shown that a common cause for snoring and throat obstruction (obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)) is excessive loss of muscle tone in the throat when the investigators go to sleep. This results in the partial collapse of the throat (snoring) or complete collapse (OSA) during sleep. 45% of the male population snore. Sleep apnoea affects 4 to 6% of the population and is associated with incre...
Summary: AZ-SWED is a parallel group, double blind, placebo control efficacy clinical trial with two separate hypotheses. The trial will compare the 5-day outcome of preschool children presenting to an Emergency Department (ED) with an acute, severe wheezing episode and treated with either once daily oral Azithromycin (12 mg/kg/day for 5 days) or placebo. The AZ-SWED researchers will make separate comparis...
Summary: The Swiss Paediatric Airway Cohort (SPAC) is a national, prospective clinical cohort of children and adolescents who visit physicians in Switzerland for recurrent wheeze, cough, and exercise- or sleep-related respiratory problems. SPAC aims to answer important questions on clinical phenotypes, prognosis, diagnosis and treatment. SPAC is part of routine care, and only clinically indicated investiga...
Summary: Laryngomalacia (LM) is the most common cause of stridor in infants. Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) are often seen in the setting of LM; therefore, acid suppression therapy (AST) has been empirically used in the management of this disorder. The investigators recently performed a retrospective chart review assessing improvement of airway and dysphagia symptoms, weight gain, and need for s...
