Summary

To determine, in previously healthy infants 6 weeks to 12 months of age, diagnosed with acute bronchiolitis and monitored by hourly oximetry, if the probability of hospitalization within 72 hours of arrival in those whose oxygen saturation display is manipulated 3 percentage points above the true measurements is significantly lower in comparison to those whose monitors display true saturations.
