ABSTRACT
B Methods: b We conducted a retrospective chart review of PICU admissions with ICD-10 codes capturing the diagnosis of bronchiolitis from March 29 through June 19, 2021 (post precautions) and compared them with historical cohorts for the same pre-pandemic weeks in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The objective was to determine if more patients with bronchiolitis required PICU admission during the typical "off-season" of critical bronchiolitis compared with pre-pandemic numbers. B Introduction: b Public health measures implemented to slow the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic resulted in a marked decrease in the overall incidence of viral infections and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admissions nationwide.
