All that follows is from the above outstanding resource.

This fall and winter of 2022 has seen a huge rise in pediatric respiratory illness in North America as well as increased admission for children with bronchiolitis. This was totally predictable. In a previous EM Quick Hit segment Dr. Sarah Reid warned us of the upcoming tsunami of coughing kids. There are many viruses abound: RSV, COVID, Influenza, Parainfluenza, Enterorhinovirus, Adenovirus. In Canada we've seen an early RSV surge in the 0-5 year old age group especially – so lots more bronchiolitis. Influenza A is far above expected levels as well, generally in the 5-11 year old age group. In this podcast Anton discusses with world expert and bronchiolitis researcher Dr. Suzanne Schuh, the challenges of the diagnosis and management of bronchiolitis during a time of crisis in pediatric emergency medicine and offers some evidence-based solutions to improving outcomes while minimizing valuable resources, as part of our 'Best of University of Toronto EM' series.
