Bronchiolitis is a leading cause of emergency visits and hospitalizations in young children. Effective care starts with understanding its pathophysiology, recognizing severity, and applying evidence-based treatment. This module uses real-world scenarios to guide evaluation and management. Symptoms can range from mild distress to severe illness needing intensive support. Knowing when to escalate care, admit patients, or manage conservatively is key to avoiding unnecessary interventions. Spend 15 minutes with this module to sharpen your skills in diagnosing and treating pediatric bronchiolitis—ensuring timely, effective care for children in respiratory distress.
