The "Pandemic Immunity Gap" is likely behind the massive surge in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), with current CDC data showing a 275% increase from 2020-2021 to 2022-2023. The most vulnerable population is between 0-6 months old, which often raises the stress level for providers across all spectrums. Join Eric for a deep dive into a case study involving a 4-month-old male in acute respiratory compromise. We break down the progression of RSV and its association with bronchiolitis. Dive deep into the current evidence on fluid management, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, NS 0.9%, Hypertonic 3%, racemic epinephrine, HFNC, NiPPV, intubation, and much more.
