NICE guidelines on bronchiolitis: a robust appraisal of current evidence

Br J Hosp Med (Lond). 2016 Apr;77(4):212-5. doi: 10.12968/hmed.2016.77.4.212.

Abstract

Bronchiolitis is common in infants. Oxygen therapy, fluids and occasionally respiratory support remain the mainstay of treatment. The NICE guidelines are expected to streamline the management of bronchiolitis and minimize potentially harmful interventions. Further research to find other useful therapies is necessary.
