Oxygen Therapy for Children With Moderate Hypoxemia in Malawi: Pilot Randomized Control Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low flow oxygen and High-flow nasal cannula oxygen for Pneumonia. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to compare standard of care, low-flow oxygen, and high-flow nasal canula oxygen in pediatric patients aged 1-59 months with pneumonia and an oxygen saturation of 90-93% in Malawi. The main question it aims to answer is: * Does the protocol for the randomized control trial work well? * Can the researchers safely conduct the protocol for the trial? Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups (normal care without oxygen, low-flow oxygen, and high-flow nasal cannula oxygen) and treated with that therapy in the hospital. Researchers will look at the ability to safely conduct each part of the study.
