Understanding Bronchiolitis in Pediatrics

Welcome back to the first Roadside to Resus episode for 2025!!

In this episode, we’re diving into a seasonally appropriate, and really paediatric common presentation for anyone involved in emergency care….Bronchiolitis. 

Now although it’s one of the most common respiratory illnesses affecting kids, bronchiolitis can easily cause confusion and concern around the severity of illness, whether to convey/admit/discharge, and also which treatments are indicated and which aren’t, including the perennially hot topic of bronchodilators.

In this episode we’re going to and delve into all of those aspects & explore the evidence and guidelines that are out there for bronchiolitis, including the NICE guidelines on the topic.

So, whether you're on the frontlines of paediatric emergency medicine or just brushing up on your knowledge, this episode…hopefully…will be packed with practical insights to enhance your care in those patients with bronchiolitis or even the differentials!

Once again we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom!
