Scientific title
Study objectivesRecombinant human deoxyribonuclease (rhDNase) can liquefy mucous in children with an atelectasis during mechanical ventilation, resulting in improved mucociliary clearance, less mucous retention and less airway obstruction, thereby enhancing the rate of resolution of an atelectasis. Moreover we expect the ventilator settings, pulmonary ventilation and ventilation-perfusion mismatch to improve faster, possibly resulting in a shorter time spent on a ventilator and on the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedAtelectasis during mechanical ventilation
InterventionIntervention group: Twice daily: inhaled rhDNase, 2.5 ml and twice daily 4 ml isotonic saline (NaCl 0.9%), for two days.

Control group: Twice daily: inhaled isotinic saline 2.5 ml and twice daily 4 ml isotonic saline, for two days.
