Abstract

Acute bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract infection to affect infants and toddlers. Respiratory syncytial virus is the most common viral cause of bronchiolitis. It typically affects children in the first year of life peaking between three andsix months of age. Infants will have a coryzal prodrome lasting one to three days before developing a persistent cough followed by increased respiratory effort, wheezing anddiffuse bilateral crackles. Clinicians should diagnose bronchiolitis and assess disease severity on the basis of history and physical examination. They should not routinely order laboratory and radiologic studies for diagnosis. Most children have mild disease andcan be managed with supportive care at home or primary care setting. Treatment is merely supportive. If the children have apnoea, inadequate oral fluid intake and persistingsevere respiratory distress, they should be referred the secondary care setting.

Birinci Basamakta Akut Bronşiolit Yönetimi

Abstract

Öz

Akut bronşiolit bebek ve çocukları etkileyen en sık alt solunum yolu infeksiyonudur.Respiratuvar sinsityal virüs bronşiolite en sık neden olan virüstür. Tipik olarak yaşamın ilk yılındaki bebekleri etkiler. Üç-6 aylıkta pik yapar. Bebeklerde 1-3 gün süren korizalprodromdan sonra solunum çabaları, hışıltı ve yaygın ince rallerin izlediği inatçı öksürükle seyreder. Hekimler bronşiolite öykü ve fizik muayene bulgularına dayanarak tanı koymalı ve hastalığın ağırlığını değerlendirmelidirler. Tanı için rutin laboratuvar ve radyolojik testler yapılmamalıdır. Çoğu çocukta enfeksiyon hafif seyreder ve evde ve birinci basamakta destekleyici bakımla tedavi edilebilir. Apne, uygun olmayan sıvı alımı ve ağır solunum yetersizliği varsa çocuk ikinci basamağa sevk edilmelidir.
