In this episode, Dr. Morgan Taylor breaks down bronchiolitis—what RSV does to tiny airways and how we support infants through the worst days safely.
What You’ll Learn
Bronchiolitis = inflammation + mucus plugging of the bronchioles → airflow obstruction & air-trapping
RSV is the most common cause (think late fall → early spring)
Classic signs: wheezing, retractions, nasal flaring, belly breathing, hypoxemia, poor feeding
Why this hits babies hardest: tiny airways + a little swelling = big work of breathing
Core management is supportive: humidified O₂/high-flow NC, normal-saline nebs, CPT, and suction, suction, suction
Watch this if you’re a peds, ED, or floor nurse, a nursing student, or a caregiver who wants a clear, practical game plan for recognizing bronchiolitis and delivering evidence-based supportive care.
