AimThis study aimed to demonstrate that viral bronchiolitis is associated with intermittent oxygen saturation of haemoglobin (SpO(2)) drops (3%) and low basal SpO(2) between episodes of haemoglobin desaturation. MethodsInfants with bronchiolitis underwent pulse oximetry during the first night following hospital admission and a subgroup of them underwent repeat oximetry before hospital discharge. Oximetry was also performed in infants with partial upper airway obstruction (UAO) and without lung disease and in control participants without UAO or lung disease. ResultsWe enrolled 53 infants: 21 with bronchiolitis, 11 with UAO and 21 healthy controls. Participants with bronchiolitis had lower basal SpO(2) (median 93.7% [10th-90th percentiles: 91.1-96.8]) than the subjects with UAO (96.9% [95.3-98.1]; p |
