The objective of this study is to determine whether the use of MEOPA alters the composition of respiratory microbiota collected by induced sputum in children requiring respiratory sampling for suspected lower respiratory tract infection. Children aged 3 months to 8 years and they requiring ECBC sampling in routine practice.
This is an exploratory, controlled, open-label, prospective, monocentric clinicobiological case control study. Each case is its own control. A sample will be taken without MEOPA and then with MEOPA. The Infants will be included after written informed consent will be obtained from the patients' parents or legally authorized representatives. Cytological and microbiological analyses are carried out on each sample.

Induced sputum with be performed by trained physiotherapist using hypertonic saline aerosol and salbutamol. MEOPA will be used for nebulization. MEOPA is a gas with analgesic, amnesic and anxiolytic properties.

α and β diversities
These outcomes will be calculated from ASV table obtained from 16S metagenomic analysis.
Time frame: Day 1
Children anxiety
mYPAS-SF (Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale, short version) total score before and after each induced sputum. Score between 4 and 18 (18 is the maximum level of anxiety)
Time frame: Day 1
Feeling of physiotherapist about the child's behaviour
Likert scale after each induced sputum
Time frame: Day 1
Feeling of parent(s) about the child's behaviour
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after each induced sputum
Time frame: Day 1
Sputum induced adverse events
Number of adverse events related to induced expectoration
Time frame: Day 5
Specimen quality
Murray and Washington cytological score (good quality specimen: score ≥ 3; poor quality specimen: score \< 3)
Time frame: Day 1
Search for microbiota mismatch with or without meopa
The criterion is defined by an expert opinion indicating whether the results of the examinations are concordant, or discordant against MEOPA or discordant in favor of MEOPA
Time frame: Day 1
Bacterial taxa
Bacterial taxa is identified by 16S v3-v4 targeted metagenomics.
