Abstract
Theme: Nursing education, management and leadership. The use of HFNT in bronchiolitis is a new phenomenon in paediatrics, with insufficient evidence on its effectiveness (Beggs et al 2014). This paper reports the findings of a clinical audit which resulted in the development of a nurse-led weaning plan to support infant recovery with the potential to reduce hospital stay. To highlight the effectiveness of a nurse-led weaning plan in a general paediatric unit. The data of 32 infants were analysed between October 2014 and March 2015. Further data will be collected between October 2015 and March 2016. Data will then be compared. Initial data demonstrates the average time infants spent on HFNT was 2.6 days compared to five days in previous studies (Bressan et al 2013). A nurse-led weaning plan has been developed from data collected. The audit demonstrates a clinical need for efficient weaning of infants on HFNT.
