Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: in children with acute bronchiolitis the use of lung ultrasound in the emergency department was a useful tool in predicting hospital admission, having a high correlation with clinical findings.

Reviewers’ commentary: point-of-care lung ultrasound could be a useful tool in predicting hospital admission in patients with acute bronchiolitis, but due to the limitations of the study, the present results must be interpreted with caution. It is necessary to know if it is useful in the Primary Care.
