Chest radiograph in bronchiolitis: is it always necessary?
Most infants presenting with bronchiolitis had a normal chest radiograph. Temperature>or = 38 degrees and O2 saturation<94 % were significantly associated with infiltrate/atelectasis. In most infants with bronchiolitis, the absence of fever and hypoxia are good predictors of normal chest radiographs.
