Can we use albuterol nebulizer in treatment of bronchiolitis?

YES: Bronchiolitis common below 2 years old caused by RSV sx wheezing, tachypnea, sometimes with subcostal retractions responds to nebulizer with proventil (albuterol) sol due to moist vapor and bronchodilation. Babies with several attacks become asthmatic later on.

Bronchiolitis: Typically, treatment for bronchiolitis is supportive. Patients may be offered a trial of albuterol nebulizer therapies to help ease work of breathing or wheezing associated with bronchiolitis. If the trial is successful in terms of symptom relief, then the medication may be continued on a scheduled or as needed basis. If not, the utility of continued use may be discussed with the treating doctor.

Yes.: Several studies have shown some benefit.
