Abstract
NSI was associated with a transient decrease in oxygen saturation. In children with obstructive mucous, NSI may have a positive effect. Practices which maximise secretion removal and mitigate the negative physiological interactions of ETS have been poorly evaluated in the paediatric population. High quality, powered, clinical trials are needed to determine the safety and efficacy of normal saline instillation and to inform clinical practice.
