Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Intervention (Single Arm)
The intervention is a combined educational outreach and audit and feedback strategy that includes providing the hospital's own continuous pulse oximetry use data back to them on a weekly basis. The data will be accompanied by staff-targeted educational materials and outreach sessions summarizing the current evidence and guideline recommendations for continuous pulse oximetry use in bronchiolitis.
