Summary
Bronchiolitis is a common disease of infancy and a main reason for infants' hospital
admissions in the first 2 years of life. The main cause of bronchiolitis is RSV (respiratory
syncytial virus). Though, Treatment is mainly supportive, the treatment benefit of nebulized
epinephrine or albuterol has been largely debated for the past years. Most of the clinical
studies used clinical parameters to detect and compare the effectiveness of such medical
interventions. In this study we will use non invasive computerized method of wheeze and
crackles quantification to compare the effectiveness of nebulized epinephrine vs albuterol in
RSV Bronchiolitis.
