Clinical Outcomes of Bronchiolitis After Implementation of a General Ward High Flow Nasal Cannula Guideline.
The goal of this study was to assess the association of the introduction of a ward's high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) guideline with clinical outcomes of infants with bronchiolitis. ⋯ Initiating a guideline for HFNC use on the general pediatric wards was associated with an increase in the use of the intervention with no significant change in total hospital length of stay, PICU length of stay and transfer rate, intubation rate, or 30-day readmission for patients with bronchiolitis.
