Bronchiolitis: Why Less is Best

31 Jan 2024

12:00pm ET - 1:00pm ET

During the cold and flu season, common viruses like Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) can lead to bronchiolitis, a lung infection primarily affecting children under the age of two. While diagnosis typically relies on physical exams, many children receive unnecessary tests and treatments, like X-rays or antibiotics, in the management of bronchiolitis.

Join Choosing Wisely Talks on January 31 at 12 p.m. ET for a discussion on why less is best when it comes to bronchiolitis. Speakers will share practical guidance in managing bronchiolitis, sharing tools and resources from the recently released Choosing Wisely Canada toolkit.

Speakers:

  • Dr. Olivia Ostrow, Pediatrics Lead, Choosing Wisely Canada and Pediatric Emergency Medicine, SickKids Hospital
  • Dr. Jennifer Young, Family Physician, and Physician Advisor, College of Family Physicians of Canada
