Abstract
Most patients admitted for severe bronchiolitis to the PICU are healthy infants whose principal risk factor is young age. The main predictors of severe clinical course during PICU stay are the association of two or more risk factors, the presence of apnea, and pulmonary consolidation on admission chest X-ray. Bronchiolitis-associated mortality is low and is associated with pre-existing chronic illness.
