Bronchiolitis
In this video, the viewer will learn the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of bronchiolitis, and how to diagnose and care for affected children.
Learning Objectives
Recall clinical features of bronchiolitis that indicate progression toward respiratory failure and possible need for intubation
Explain how age, risk factors, and physiologic deterioration in bronchiolitis influence escalation from supportive care to advanced airway management
Apply focused airway assessment and intubation readiness planning in infants with severe bronchiolitis and worsening respiratory distress
Analyze response to supportive and non‑invasive respiratory interventions to determine when endotracheal intubation is indicated
Evaluate airway and intubation preparedness in severe bronchiolitis to optimize safety during escalation of respiratory support
