Conclusion
Maintaining adequate feeding during hospital stay is a key component of
bronchiolitis care, the clinical severity on admission may be related to
the length of recover adequate feeding (LOFR), ranging from none to
significant. Other known factors such as oxygen therapy and the new
clinical severity scale proposed by the latest French guidelines
appeared to be related to the length of stay (LOS) in this work. On the
other hand, bronchiolitis airway clearance technique (ACT) referral was
not associated with neither LOFR nor LOS, suggesting that ACT use did
not modify the course of these children’s stay. Further robust work is
needed to elucidate these questions.
