Hello! I study medicine in Finland and in our main reference book it says that adding a lateral projection on the thx-xray does not increase the specificity or sensitivity in diagnosing a child's pneumonia. But is it adequate to take both projections if the patient is wheezing and the diagnosis is thought to be bronchiolitis?
Hello Dr, what are your thoughts in hypertonic NaCl 3% as a treatment for bronchiolitis? It is suposed toreduce the peribronchiolar edema through oncotic pressures and works fine in the hospital where I practice.
Hypertonic nebs can cause bronchoconstriction due to irritation. Fluids and cool mist or moist oxygen is usually enough to moisten and thin secretions.
Paul - where do you take time to make all this beautiful lectures...???
same i asked
Thank you make it very clear ~~
Thank you!!!
simply the best wish I came across these videos earlier
These are very helpful for my peds RT course. Thanks!
Correct. SABAs (albuterol/levalbuterol) will not help the wheezing in bronchiolitis.
Hello. What your offer with swab for RSV, you don t offer nothing more to the patient. It isn t recommended do that. IV fluids only the RR >70ppm

Joaquín Alonso Córdova Linares there is some evidence that it improves respiratory function and symptoms but just in bronchiolitis
I also support
