Abstract

Nutritional management of young infants presenting with acute
bronchiolitis in Belgium, France and Switzerland: survey of current
practices and documentary search of national guidelines worldwide Conclusion: practices were inconsistent among physicians. Guidelines detailed nutritional management poorly. Awareness of
hyponatremia risk in relation to intravenous hypotonic fluids and of the safety of enteral hydration and nutrition is insufficient.
New guidelines including detailed nutritional management recommendations are urgently needed.
