Acute Bronchiolitis

TORONTO — Pediatric hospital transfers due to bronchiolitis increased at a disproportionate rate in recent years compared with all causes of hospitalization, according to a study presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting.

A new study identified between-center variations in practices and outcomes of invasive mechanical ventilation for infants with acute bronchiolitis.

In a recent study, oxygen desaturation rates in infants with acute bronchiolitis were high and occurred in most infants, with similar rates in those hospitalized and those discharged home, researchers reported in JAMA Network Open.
