Randomized Controlled Trial
Nebulized Magnesium Sulfate in Acute Bronchiolitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To assess the efficacy of nebulized magnesium sulfate as a bronchodilator in infants hospitalized with acute bronchiolitis. ⋯ Thus, in infants with acute bronchiolitis, the effect of nebulized magnesium sulfate is comparable to nebulized epinephrine. However nebulized magnesium sulfate can improve the clinical score so it may have additive effect to reduce symptoms during hospitalization.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of Nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (NCPAP) Cycling and Continuous NCPAP on Successful Weaning: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To compare the effectiveness of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) cycling with continuous NCPAP in the successful weaning of preterm infants of 25(0)-28(6) wk gestation to nasal prongs. ⋯ In this pilot, feasibility study there were no differences in the rates of successful weaning of NCPAP to nasal prongs using either cycling NCPAP or continuous NCPAP in preterm infants. A need exists for a large randomized controlled trial (RCT) to determine the role of cycling NCPAP on neonatal outcomes.
