Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective is to measure the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of audit and feedback with educational outreach as a strategy to align continuous pulse oximetry use in stable bronchiolitis patients with evidence and guideline recommendations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Continuous pulse oximetry (SpO2) monitoring has revolutionized detection of oxygen desaturation in operating rooms and other high-risk areas, improving outcomes in those settings. However, research suggests that overuse of continuous SpO2 monitoring in stable children with bronchiolitis who are unlikely to benefit from it is low-value care that places some children at risk of adverse outcomes. Despite national guidelines discouraging continuous pulse oximetry use in stable bronchiolitis patients, 46% of those infants and children are continuously monitored. This pragmatic, prospective, non-randomized, single-arm feasibility pilot will be performed on non-Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hospital units that care for bronchiolitis patients. The primary subjects are hospital staff who order or manage continuous pulse oximetry monitoring for bronchiolitis patients; secondary subjects are patients age 2 through 23 months with a primary diagnosis of bronchiolitis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Audit and Feedback

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The audit and feedback intervention includes providing each hospital's own continuous pulse oximetry use data back to them on a weekly basis for review and action.

Educational outreach

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Educational outreach includes staff-targeted educational materials and outreach sessions summarizing the current evidence and guideline recommendations for continuous pulse oximetry use in bronchiolitis.
