Emergency Nursing Webinar Series: The Evolution of Bronchiolitis Management
Aug
8

Emergency Nursing Webinar Series: The Evolution of Bronchiolitis Management

Kiel Bisceglia, BSRT, RRT, discusses the evolution of bronchiolitis management at Randall Children's Hospital, highlighting the introduction of various protocols and the 2023 Quality Improvement (QI) project. The QI project reviewed literature and surveyed other hospitals to determine effective and safe High-Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) flow rates and weaning protocols. The presentation also addresses racial and ethnic disparities in bronchiolitis hospitalizations, emphasizing the need for culturally appropriate preventive measures. Key findings from the literature review and outcome data from the QI project indicate that higher HFNC flow rates can be safely managed on acute care floors, reducing ICU utilization and improving patient care.

This course is provider approved by the California State Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number CEP8729, for 1.1 contact hours by Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Corvallis, Oregon.

Samaritan Health Services is accredited by the Washington State Medical Association to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
