All included subjects were randomly treated with helmet CPAP or HFNC in a 1:1 fashion until their clinical picture, oxygen saturation, and arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters resolved. The efficiencies of helmet CPAP and HFNC were evaluated by breathing frequency, S\n \n pO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n <\/jats:sub>\n , ABG pH, ABG P\n \n aCO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n <\/jats:sub>\n , ABG P\n \n aO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n <\/jats:sub>\n , and P\n \n aO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n <\/jats:sub>\n \/F\n \n IO\n 2<\/jats:sub>\n <\/jats:sub>\n , recorded once at baseline and then after 1 and 6 h of treatment. Both noninvasive respiratory support modalities were compared with a control group of subjects with respiratory distress under standard therapeutic pharmaceutical protocols.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n \n We found that both helmet CPAP and HFNC were efficient in improving the clinical conditions of subjects with mild-to-moderate respiratory distress, although clinical response to helmet CPAP was more efficient and rapid compared with HFNC. Children who received respiratory support had a better clinical course in terms of hospitalization, days of intravenous rehydration therapy, and days of drug administration compared with the control group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < .001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Based on our knowledge, the present study is the first research comparing the effects of CPAP and HFNC in respiratory distress resolution in a pediatric intermediate care setting. It aims to identify the most efficient treatment to avoid pediatric ICU admissions and endotracheal intubation and reduce the administration of drugs and days of hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4187\/respcare.05384","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,9]],"date-time":"2017-05-09T20:40:35Z","timestamp":1494362435000},"page":"1036-1042","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["Randomized Comparison of Helmet CPAP Versus High-Flow Nasal Cannula Oxygen in Pediatric Respiratory Distress"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Giovanna","family":"Vitaliti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric General and Acute and Emergency Operative Unit, Policlinico-Vittorio Emanuele University Hospital, University of Catania, Catania, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Concetta","family":"Vitaliti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric General and Acute and Emergency Operative Unit, Policlinico-Vittorio Emanuele University Hospital, University of Catania, Catania, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Carla","family":"Finocchiaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric General and Acute and Emergency Operative Unit, Cannizzaro Hospital, Catania, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vita Antonella","family":"Di Stefano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric General and Acute and Emergency Operative Unit, Cannizzaro Hospital, Catania, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piero","family":"Pavone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric General and Acute and Emergency Operative Unit, Policlinico-Vittorio Emanuele University Hospital, University of Catania, Catania, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nassim","family":"Matin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nazgol","family":"Motamed-Gorji","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riccardo","family":"Lubrano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric Nephrology Operative Unit, La Sapienza University of Rome, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raffaele","family":"Falsaperla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pediatric General and Acute and Emergency Operative Unit, Policlinico-Vittorio Emanuele University Hospital, University of Catania, Catania, Italy."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1067\/mpd.2001.118196"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12887-015-0501-x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2009-2092"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(12)70053-X"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.PCC.0000225089.21176.0B"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00134-008-1150-4"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ppul.22513"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","first-page":"3","article-title":"[Management of serious bacterial infections: general considerations]","author":"Esposito S","year":"2005","unstructured":"Esposito S, , Leone S.
