Abstract
The management of acute bronchiolitis is mainly supportive, but infants require minimal handling. Of those who are hospitalized, less than 3% require intensive care and ventilation but in these children the condition is life threatening. Oxygen, fluid replacement and careful observation remain the cornerstones of management. Bronchodilators should be avoided in young infants and antiviral therapy should only be considered in critically ill infants who have an underlying cardiopulmonary condition.Entities:
