Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedRespiratory: Bronchiolitis
InterventionA pilot study. A randomised cross-over design will be used. Infants who have reached the inclusion criteria will be randomised to either 12 hours of CPAP or 12 hours of traditional supportive management.

After 24 hours their clinical management will be as of the team looking after the child.
