Acute viral bronchiolitis is the leading cause of community-acquired acute respiratory failure in developed countries (20 000 to 30 000 hospitalizations each year in France). Between 5% and 22% of these children are hospitalized in a critical care unit to benefit from a respiratory support. Non-invasive ventilation, in particular the nasal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (nCPAP), reduces the work of breathing in children with bronchiolitis and is associated with decreased morbidity and hospitalization costs compared with invasive ventilation. Nowadays, this technique is considered as the gold standard in the pediatric intensive care units (PICU) in France. High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) has been proposed as an alternative to the nCPAP because of its better tolerance and simplicity of implementation. However, the proportion of failure remains high (35 to 50%), providing only a partial response to the care of these children, especially prior to the PICU. In a physiological study (NCT02602678, article published), it has been demonstrated that prone position (PP) decrease, by almost 50%, the respiratory work of breathing and improve the respiratory mechanics in infants hospitalized in intensive care units for bronchiolitis. Investigators hypothesize that prone position, during High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC), would significantly reduce the use of non-invasive ventilation (nCPAP and others) or invasive ventilation, as compared to supine position during HFNC, in infants with moderate to severe viral bronchiolitis.

Infants under high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) will be positioned in the supine position. Patients may be positioned temporarily in lateral position between periods of supine position to limit ventilatory disorders, as it is usually done in critical care units during bronchiolitis.
Infants under high flow nasal cannula (HFNC) will be placed in the prone position during at least 24 hours over the first 48 hours. The positioning will be standardized (chest on the bed plan and abdomen cleared) and children should be placed in the prone position immediately after randomization. Patients may be positioned temporarily in lateral position between periods of prone position to limit ventilatory disorders, as it is usually done in critical care units during bronchiolitis.

Proportion of ventilated children in each of the 2 groups
Indications for the use of ventilation (invasive or non-invasive ventilation) will be standardized in both groups (based on the interregional protocol for the management of bronchiolitis): * Clinical aggravation defined by an increase ≥ 1 point of the m-WCAS score * Persistence of hypercapnic acidosis with pH ≤7.30 and pCO2≥ 8 kPa or FiO2\> 60% under HFNC at 2 L/kg/min * More than 2 significant apneas per hour (apnea with desaturation \<90% and / or bradycardia \<90 / min) * Consciousness disorder Anytime over the first 3 days after inclusion
Time frame: 3 days
Proportion of failure
Failure is defined as: * HFNC failure (composite failure criterion validated by an independent committee) * worsening of mWCAS score ≥ 1 point * hypercapnic acidosis (pH ≤7.30 and pCO2≥8kPa) * significant apnea (apnea with desaturation \<90% and / or bradycardia \<90/min) Anytime over the first 3 days after inclusion
Time frame: 3 days
Causes of failure
Failure is defined as: * HFNC failure (composite failure criterion validated by an independent committee) * worsening of mWCAS score ≥ 1 point * hypercapnic acidosis (pH ≤7.30 and pCO2≥8kPa) * significant apnea (apnea with desaturation \<90% and / or bradycardia \<90/min) Anytime over the first 3 days after inclusion
