1.Bronchiolitis is a clinical diagnosis
2.No investigations should be routinely
performed
3.Management is to support feeding
and oxygenation as required
4.No medication should be routinely
administered

Bronchiolitis :Clinical Practice Guidelines
Prof.Dr. Saad S Al Ani
2
• Bronchiolitis is a viral lower respiratory
tract infection, generally affecting children
under 12 months of age
• Viral bronchiolitis is a clinical diagnosis,
based on typical history and examination.
• Peak severity is usually at around day two
to three of the illness with resolution over
7– 10 days.
• The cough may persist for weeks.

Bronchiolitis typically begins with an acute
upper respiratory tract infection followed by
onset of respiratory distress and fever and
one or more of:
• Cough
• Tachypnea
• Retractions
• Widespread crackles or wheeze

Risk factors for more serious illness
• Chronological age at presentation
less than 10 weeks
• Chronic lung disease
• Congenital heart disease
• Chronic neurological conditions
• Indigenous ethnicity
• Immunodeficiency

• Infants with any of these risk factors are more
likely to deteriorate rapidly and require
escalation of care.
• Consider hospital admission even if presenting
early in illness with mild symptoms.
• The more symptoms the infant has in the
moderate-severe categories, the more likely
they are to develop severe disease

MILD MODERATE SEVERE
Behaviour Normal Some / intermittent irritability Increasing irritability and /
or lethargy Fatigue
Respiratory rate Normal – mild
tachypnea
Increased respiratory rate Marked increase or decrease
in respiratory rate
Use of accessory
muscles
Nil to mild chest
wall retraction
Moderate chest wall
retractions
Suprasternal retraction
Nasal flaring
Marked chest wall
retractions
Marked suprasternal
retraction
Marked nasal flaring
Oxygen saturation/
oxygen requirement
O2 saturations
greater than 92%
(in room air)
O2 saturations 90 –92%
(in room air)
O2 saturations less than 90%
(in room air)
Hypoxemia, may not be
corrected by O2
Apneic episodes None May have brief apnoea May have increasingly
frequent or prolonged
apnoea
Feeding Normal May have difficulty with
feeding or reduced feeding
Reluctant or unable to feed
Management
• Investigations:
 In most children with bronchiolitis no investigations
are required
– Chest X-ray (CXR)
• Is not routinely indicated and may lead to unnecessary treatment
with antibiotics
– Blood tests (including blood gas, full blood count (FBC),
blood cultures)
• Have no role in management
– Virological testing (nasopharyngeal swab or aspirate)
• Has no role in management of individual patients

Management
• Treatment:
• Children are often more settled if comfort
oral feeds are continued.
• Initial management
 The main treatment of bronchiolitis is supportive.
 This involves ensuring appropriate oxygenation and
fluid intake, and minimal handling

Initial management
MILD MODERATE SEVERE
Likelihood
of admission
Suitable for discharge
Consider risk factors
Likely admission, may
be able to be discharged
after a period of
observation
Management should be
discussed with a local
senior physician
Requires admission and
consider need for
transfer to an
appropriate children’s
facility/PICU
Threshold for referral
is
determined by local
capacity but should be
early
Observations
Vital signs
(respiratory rate,
heart rate,
O2 saturations,
temperature)
Adequate assessment in
ED prior to discharge
(minimum of two
recorded measurements
or every four hours)
One to two Hourly (not
continuous)
Once improving and
not requiring oxygen
for 2 hours discontinue
oxygen saturation
monitoring
Hourly with continuous
cardiorespiratory
(including oximetry)
monitoring and close
nursing observation

Hydration/nutrition Small frequent
feeds
If not feeding adequately
(less

administer NG hydration
If not feeding

(less than 50% over

to feed, administer
NG hydration

MILD MODERATE SEVERE
Respiratory
support
Begin with NPO2
HFNC to be used only if
NPO2 has failed
Consider HFNC or CPAP
Disposition/
escalation
Consider further
medical review if
early in the illness
and any risk
factors are present
or if child
develops
increasing severity
after discharge
Decision to admit
should be supported by
clinical assessment
(including risk factors),
social and geographical
factors, and phase of
illness
Consider escalation if severity
does not improve
Consider ICU review/
admission or transfer to local
centre with
paediatric HDU/ICU capacity
if:
• Severity does not improve
• Persistent desaturations
• Significant or recurrent
apnoea associated with
desaturations
• Has risk factors

Management
• Oxygen therapy should be :
 instituted when oxygen saturations are
persistently less than 90%
 discontinued when oxygen saturations
are persistently greater than or equal
to 90%.

Respiratory
support
Management (Cont.)
• It is appreciated that infants with
bronchiolitis will have brief episodes
of mild/moderate desaturations to
levels less than 90%.
• These brief desaturations are not a
reason to commence oxygen therapy.
29/09/2019
Bronchiolitis :Clinical Practice Guidelines
Prof.Dr. Saad S Al Ani
16
Respiratory
support
Management (Cont.)
• Heated humidified high flow oxygen/air
via nasal cannulae (HFNC) should only
be considered in the presence of hypoxia
(oxygen saturation less than 90%) and a
lack of response to nasal prong oxygen,
or where severe disease is present.
29/09/2019

17
Respiratory
support
Management (Cont.)
• If oxygen has been required: Once
improving and not requiring oxygen for 2
hours discontinue oxygen saturation
monitoring.
• Continue other observations 2-4 hourly
and reinstate intermittent oxygen
monitoring if deterioration occurs.

Respiratory
support
Management (cont.)
• When non-oral hydration is required
nasogastric (NG) hydration is the route of
choice
• If IV fluid is used it should be isotonic
with added glucose.
• NG or IV fluids should be commenced at
two-thirds maintenance
