JAMA - Oximetry & Hospitalization in Infant Bronchiolitis

"Effect of Oximetry on Hospitalization in Bronchiolitis"

"Conclusions and Relevance  Among infants presenting to an emergency department with mild to moderate bronchiolitis, those with an artificially elevated pulse oximetry reading were less likely to be hospitalized within 72 hours or to receive active hospital care for more than 6 hours than those with unaltered oximetry readings. This suggests that oxygen saturation should not be the only factor in the decision to admit, and its use may need to be reevaluated."
