No reduction in admissions in 20 yearsNo reduction in LOS despite oximetryNo fewer presentations despite smoking lessNo real treatment advances despite extensive research
We are hearingsome good questions
Are we overusing oximetry?
Can we avoid IV
fluids?
Is high flowbetter than sliced bread?
A prospective randomised trial comparing nasogastric with intrave hydration in children with bronchiolitis (protocol): the comparative rehydration in bronchiolitis study (CRIB).Paediatric Research in Emergency Departments International Collaborative1, Oakley E, Babl FE, Acworth J, Borland M, Kreiser D, Ne J, Theophilos T, Donath S, South M, Davidson A.
Large scale researchapplicable to our
children
PARISRCT for HFNP
Less escalation of care12% HFNP vs
23% low flow O2
No difference in SFX
No change in LOSNo change in time on O2
Now for theReal Time audit…“Life QI”
Unwarranted tests & RxAdherence to CPGDischarge/admission rulesHigh flow analysisWe can even ask questions later
