Abstract
Bronchiolitis is a common respiratory illness in infancy for which there is a great deal of clinical practice variation, leading to costly resource utilization without clear evidence for benefit. Recent literature has focused on developing a broad base of evidence through systematic reviews and meta-analyses. This review will focus on this literature as it relates to pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies and other management decisions. In addition, it will highlight some emerging evidence regarding the management of bronchiolitis and innovative new therapies.
