Jeffrey Baron, Gladys El-Chaar
Bronchiolitis, an infection of the lower respiratory tract, is the leading cause of infant and child hospitalization in the United States.

To date, no international recommendations regarding its management in critically ill children are available. An experts' recommendations in adult population have recently been made (Levy et al. Ann Intensive Care 5(1):52, 2015; Levy et al. Ann Intensive Care 5(1):26, 2015).
