What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying moderate acute bronchiolitis in infants and young children aged 3 months to 2 years, focusing on initial management using home hospitalization (HAD) instead of traditional hospital care. This condition affects many infants annually, causing stress for families and necessitating decisions about treatment location. The study aims to understand the need for oxygen therapy during home care for these children. Children included have a first episode of moderate bronchiolitis without severe symptoms or oxygen needs, with symptoms lasting at least 48 hours. The study observes care delivered at home under a structured program supervised by pediatric teams. Home hospitalization is offered when oxygen saturation is 92% or higher and family conditions allow safe care outside the hospital. Participants will be monitored during one month to track oxygen therapy needs, hospital support, hospitalization duration, and quality of life using questionnaires. Anxiety and depression in parents will also be assessed, along with the direct costs of care. This observational study helps describe how home care supports children with bronchiolitis and their families over time.
