Suzanne Schuh,Amina Lalani,Upton Allen,David Manson,Paul Babyn,Derek Stephens,Shannon MacPhee,Matthew Mokanski,Svetlana Khaikin,Paul T. Dick +9 more
TL;DR: Infants with typical bronchiolitis do not need imaging because it is almost always consistent with bronchiolaitis, and risk of airspace disease appears particularly low in children with saturation higher than 92% and mild to moderate distress.
