Study Summary

The investigators aim to compare the standard bulb aspirator with that of a nasal oral aspirator. The hypothesis is that use of a nasal oral aspirator is more effective at removing nasal secretions in the treatment of bronchiolitis as measured by a predicted 50% decrease in the rate of unscheduled bronchiolitis return visits. The primary endpoint will be the number of unscheduled bronchiolitis return visits; secondary endpoints will include measurements of oral intake, respiratory relief, parental device preference and adverse events.

Primary Outcome

The number of unscheduled bronchiolitis return visits (return to either ED, urgent care or PCP)
