Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial of nebulized epinephrine in infants with acute bronchiolitis.
The treatment of infants with bronchiolitis is largely supportive. The role of bronchodilators is controversial. Most studies of the use of bronchodilators have enrolled small numbers of subjects and have examined only short-term outcomes, such as clinical scores. ⋯ The use of nebulized epinephrine did not significantly reduce the length of the hospital stay or the time until the infant was ready for discharge among infants admitted to the hospital with bronchiolitis.
